Depression looming

I can feel the depression coming, it's like a big dark cloud that I am struggling to see through the tears, I can't believe it's hitting now, I never thought I would be a victim and I'm screaming on the inside for someone to notice and bundle me up to make me feel better without saying a word or feeling like I'm broken and weak for feeling this way!!
It's been coming for a few weeks now but it's just encircled me and I'm paralyzed.
I know I need to swallow my pride and ask for help but it's too hard...
Rant over.. I know what needs to be done, I'm just not ready

The baby blues are hitting you?? Is it because you feel trapped? Are you a single mum? Is it your first baby?
I suffered and had lots of support!! Seel advice its the best thing I did! I never show my emotions but I had to let them all out!

Go see your doctor. I don't know if you have suffered from depression in the past but they are there to help. They can offer anti depressants which will help. With a new baby, you will be exhausted and possibly feel isolated which makes everything seem so much worse. Please PM me, I have suffered anxiety and depression and also have a new baby so it would be good to chat for me too x

This may sound silly, but can depression be on and off or is it constant?
I feel as though I feel depressed at times, but I move on and ignore the things that bug me and almost push them away until I need to face them next time. Not sure what it is. Feels crap tho.
