Is this PND or do I just need some sleep?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, first timer and all that, so please direct me to the right place if not.
Just needs some words of perspective really as feel in a fog of not knowing what to do at the moment. I have 2 DCs DS is 2.9 and DD is 7months. Feeling completely overwhelmed, tearful and rubbish with everything at the moment. DDs sleep is really bad- up 1-2 hours though the night. She's EBFd back to sleep each time. She was in hospital 2 months ago with bronchiolitis and still has a cough. Not sure if this wakes her as she was a much better sleeper before that or if it was in conjunction with 4 month sleep regression. Think she is hungry as she wants lots of bfs but rejects any purée and has small amount of finger food.
DS has always been hard work and is full on with tantrum toddler behaviour so going out with them both is hard as my patience is low to begin with and I find I have to hover around him at any playgroup due to his violence towards others. Any social outing when I have both of them usually ends in a tantrum from him and us leaving. So i guess what I'm saying is that I'm not really enjoying going out with them. DS is in nursery one day and that day is calmer.
Just wondered if anyone can make me see sense in all this or is it just one of those more challenging times I have to get through?

It sounds like you need some help to cope! It could be the onset of PND, i was tearful all the time etc, crying over nothing, feeling rubbish and like a failure as a mother, i was diagnosed with PND. Maybe speaking to your health visitor would help, getting sleep would also be an improvement i am sure. Hope you feel better soon.
