I feel exactly the same, so you're not alone! I was in the same position as you a couple of weeks ago, like you said everything else was getting too much (you can read my post 'Help!' on this forum) and I was just feeling worse and worse until it all came to a head and one day I just couldn't stop crying. I was really confused at first as I thought that pnd was only when you didn't bond with your baby but after coming on here and talking to others and reading their posts realised that it isn't and pnd covers a wide range of feelings. I then went to my doc's and she did a questionnaire on me and the results help uncover how bad a depression you have and from there we went on to decide how to go about treating it. Going to the doctors was the best thing I did, I was really nervous about doing it but am so glad I did as by just talking it through helped.
Good luck at docs, let us know how you get on and hold on in there!
