 definately sounds like ppd. :( sorry you'r egoing through this rough time but if you see a doctor they can help. the sooner the better. medication could really really help you if you give it a chance. if you have a partner bring him with you so that he can understand what you're going through as well

 It does sound as if you do have post partum depression the birth of a baby can trigger a jumble of powerful emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. But it can also result in something you might not expect depression!
Post partum depression is'nt a character flaw or a weakness. Sometimes Post Partum Depression is simply part of giving birth. If you have Post partum Depression prompt treatment can help you manage your symptons and enjoy your baby.
Make an appointment with your doctor as soon as you can.

 i have to say i agree with ur sister, ur probably going through post partum depression. its very normal in women who have just had a baby. its a big change for u. i went through it with my second child. my advice, call ur doctor asap. if post partum depression is not treated, u can get worst and u do not wanna get to that point. let out ur emotions though, dont keep them in. talk to someone close to u too. let them know what ur going through cuz trust me, ur gonna need some alone time and help from someone helping u care for the baby when u need ur alone time helps. dont feel like a bad mother, ur not. make urself better so u can begin enjoying ur new baby more. focus on the good things in life. but definately, go see a doctor. hope this helped. good luck to u.
