Would CBT help these thoughts?

I’m currently suffering from postnatal depression. I was taking antidepressants but I’ve stopped (I know, I know). I’m going to ring drs on Monday so see if there are new tablets I can take. I only stopped taking them as I’ve found out I’m pregnant.

So thoughts below:

  1. That 4 month old DD is biologically inferior as she wouldn’t breastfeed I am aware this is irrational but I can’t shake the feeling and it’s been months now
  2. That I am biologically inferior as I couldn’t breastfeed. I’m also inferior for a billion other reasons
  3. I have “mum” issues and I think I’m going to be a shit mum as a result and be like her

Drs only prescribed antibiotics but I feel like counselling and CBT might help? I’ve needed it for a while but I can’t afford it privately until I’m back at work
