Boy can I relate. I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. My prayers are with you. I have battled with depression for the last one and a half years (although not postpartum) and discovered it was a result of low estrogen levels. I apparently had hit perimenopause. I went on bioidenticals for about 3 months, and was weaned off and am now taking three herbal supplements called Maca Active, Sex Essentials, and Happy Day. Additionally I practice EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), do relaxation yoga, radically changed my diet to an alkaline diet (including alkaline water), and get accupuncture done once a week. I can't say which of the above has helped, but I feel amazing. I am joyful, content, and peaceful for the first time in two years. And my energy levels are high. Additionally, my sex drive has increased and I am now producing my own vaginal fluids which makes intercourse less painful. I'd be happy to give the names of doctors, etc., if you want it.
