Don't underestimate postpartum. I was still a wreck preoccupied with suicide when I started luvox seven months after my son's birth. And it really didn't lift until well after that.
I know you aren't a first time mom, but the stress of a baby on top of other children must bring its own challenges. Not to mention the added pressure of undone work (I'm really familiar with that one). Toooo much to do, too many expectations, pressure from all sides. A decent recipe for depression and anxiety.
Which all points to the value of therapy as well as medication. It's a shame you have to go through your gp to get it. :(
