Cry it out because sometimes thats what you need to do.
I had very bad PND with DD1 and remember feeling sad when clearing out baby clothes. It was as though I had missed out on some of her early months due to the depression and like a grieving reaction.
Be kind to yourself today,think of someting nice you would enjoying doing together. Give her lots of cuddles and remind yourself what a strong woman you are to cope in difficult circumstances.
Believe me it will get better Take care x
