double depression part 2

Hi, I hope you don't mind my popping in. I suffer from PPD, before that I was depressed, on meds thru preg, but then a different sort of depression came over me about 6 wks postpartum. The double depression thing in the other post caught my eye. I have good days and bad days, but (maybe I don't know what I am talking about here) I think I have chronic depression (emotional/stress related) that is pretty well managed by my meds, and I think I have a hormonal depression that changes with my cycle. Does that make any sense? I don't just have normal PMS, it gets really bad. I would say I have mood swings, but mostly for a week I am just a b**** : )I get so angry I can't see straight. (all at dh). Then I cry and cry and cry some more. I am sure you all understand. Anyhow, just wanted some opinions. I am being treated with meds, but I have not spoken to my dr. about the ?dual depression? because it never really occurred to me until I read the post. I also just started a new med, so I will give it some time. Also, I did go to therapy before, thought I was better. Surprise, I'm not! I have an appt. to go back. Thanks!
