Feeling down and embarrassed about it

I always find it difficult to talk to other people about my feeling, apart from my dh but I feel I am always moaning to him about everything and don't want to upset him. I have two gorgous children and a lovely hubby but I can't help feeling really down at the moment, which could be due to my period (had a baby about 9 months ago, still bf and haven't had period yet). Right now I feel ugly, feel like I have hardly any friends, my family is in a different country, our flat is small and we have hardly got any money to spare. If you would know me you would probably not guess I am feeling like this and I feel ashamed to admit it but hope nobody is judging me on here. Does anyone feel the same? I hope it is not depression but sometimes I have no energy whatsoever and am scared that it could be depression. Also feel so jeallous of some people, which I really hate. It is not that I don't want them to have a big house, many friends, money etc but I would just like to have some of it too.......

I think everyone feels like that sometimes - nothing to be embarrassed about (but then I don't think depression is anything to be embarrassed about either).

There are some really insightful threads on here about depression, so you might want to look through the archive at other people's experience but I've found personally that the things to watch out for are when you start feeling like this for days at a time, when you stop enjoying the things that you used to really enjoy and when you stop looking forward to things getting better.

Is your HV or GP any good? Maybe you could speak to them about it?
