So I'm guessing all those extra hormones have finally left my body a couple months ago. You'd think I'd feel better, but I feel like crap. I'm getting depressed every month again but it feels worse since I have a family now I guess. I was quicker to anger when I was pregnant, but I don't remember being too depressed. I felt more free and now I feel trapped. This will only last a week but next week I will be bleeding, so that only leaves me 2 weeks of somewhat peace. I don't want to take birth control and I don't have time to get stress free.

    Stop it. You will never be stress free if you believe it to be impossible. It isn't more "time" that you require, you need to believe that you have the ability to overcome it. Even if it's 2 minutes alone in the bathroom, take a few deep breaths. An overstressed mommy does no one any favors, no wonder you're depressed.

    Every woman is different when it comes to pregnancy reactions. Have you discussed your depression with your OBGYN? or perhaps you had a midwife. Postpartum depression is very real.

    I agree with justsomgirl, talking to your doctor about this will help you lots.

    You should probably be talking to a doctor.
