I don't know if I'm just having a rough time or if I have PND

I'm really struggling at the moment. Not sure if I'm just a bit overwhelmed. I'm 6 months PP with DC2.
Everything was fine at the beginning but I'm not coping with her now. She is constantly and I mean constantly unsettled and whiny. She has been for months- we've been battling reflux issues for the entirety and it's getting worse not better. I don't know if today is just a particularly bad day but I feel like I've had enough.

I rarely go out, have no enthusiasm to or the confidence to. It's an effort to be normal for my eldest, if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't bother doing anything.
I feel sad most of the time but feel bad because I don't know why, my life isn't horrible and I should be greatful for what I have.
I can't remember the last time I slept well which I think is the catalyst for all this, I probably get about 4 or 5 hours a night and I've run out of steam completely. I have daily headaches which never seem to go.

Don't know what to do, I think I'm just voicing this here to talk to someone who doesn't know me or judge me.

Aw didn’t want to read and run. I don’t have much experience of true depression but I’d say if the bad days outweigh the number of good days then it’s maybe time to speak to the GP? hang in there, all mums feel like that at some point, I know I did xx

I feel the same as you at 7 months pp I’m already on antidepressants for on & off depression for years. The lack of sleep & no time to myself is really having an effect on me, I’m not sure what to do just wanted to say your not alone x
