I'm on anti depressents for it, and these take the edge of how I feel thankfully.
The problem with PND and when you tell people about it is they think its a mental state thing, whereas its not, the hormone balance after giving birth is has not been balanced out and it prevents you from controlling your body and emotions like pre-birth.
I love my girls so dearly and I wouldn't be without them. I really do want to stop feeling like this though.

Try thinking positive.
Think about the good things that have happened to you. You have kids that you love. You have a home with a loving family. You have friends. Those are the things that you should be happy and thankful for.
Even I get depressed, but I think positive. While bad things may happen to me, I think about the good things that I have.
I have a few very good friends that I would rather have over a hundred "just friends". I have parents who love me.
While my parents aren't very deaf-friendly, I'm still glad that I have a brother and sister who are very deaf friendly. That's something that I look forward to.
