A gp can offer support on post natel depression,this is more common than people realise.
Therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy can help.

My best advice would be to speak to a doctor first. We need to understand how severe this depression is. A doctor will be able to understand how bad you depression is. Counselling can be provided or a psychologist if needed. You will also get a lot of advice from a professional who have dealt with a lot of other women in the same situation. You get the change so try some medication if you feel like it would be helpful. In the meantime you can do some online research to try and understand you are feeling, why are you feeling it and how to cope with it.

I would try to find a listener who specializes in this and request them personally :) This way, you know you are talking to a listener who has a background in this specific topic, and you won't find yourself with a listener who understands you and what you are going through. There are many different varieties of people who are willing to give a shot at listening in regards to many topics, but with such a specific topic, specific support is probably better. You can submit a personal request by searching for listeners :) If they are online, request a chat with them! If not, request one to set up a time for conversation.
