possible PPD?

I feel so out of it lately. My son is almost 16 days old & I feel so overly possessive & protective its crazy. I love my son but sometimes I get so frustrated because he gets upset & then I do which leads to a breakdown sometimes. Everything is upsetting me to the point of tears. Literally. I spilled my drink today & burst into tears. I tried to talk to SO about him playing on FB after work & not paying me much attention but I got so upset he couldn't understand me. I don't feel like he's taking me seriously. Because my boobs have been so swollen from BF-ing, I sit in my room with the baby topless most of the day so I don't flash my roommates & so the damn dogs will stay out of my sons face. I am tired. I feel so hurt by everything SO says & does but I know I'm over-reacting. I just don't know what to do about it. One of my roommates asked me why she hadn't really seen me much in a few days & I didn't know what to tell her. My son requires my full attention & care but she's never had kids or really ever been around them so she knows next to nothing about them. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel or what I'm supposed to do. I have my happy moments but I don't feel happy a good bit of the time. I feel like I'm just here. Does anyone have any advice for me? I don't have the money to go see a therapist & my medicaid ends january 7th after my 6 week checkup. I have tricare too but it covers next to nothing for mental health

Relax...take a deep breath, this all sounds like new mommy stuff, as he gets older you'll get in to the swing of things, I think your SO should maybe be helping you out more...just a thought, all the sudden your a mom and are expected to know and do everything for this little guy, believe me I get it, I have been through it a few times, and am going through it again with a one month old now, I have gone to the dr before thinking I had PPD, but when they put me on a slew of meds then I got all crazy, even crazier then before, so I stopped taking them and just let my hormones even them selves out, but if you feel like its getting worse please dont hesitate to go in, PPD is nothing to ignore, especially if you feel like harming your self or your baby, which it doesnt sound like thats going to be a problem, the first few weeks are pretty overwhelming, hang in there girl, you got this : )

im no expert but you may just be overwhelmed being only 16 days.... go see community drop in centre for newborns or contact the hospital who may provide someone who can help with this......
Im going through similar feelings and im 4.5 months post preggo it still too much for me and i get so frustrated at my partner also.

i promise you it gets better
im 3 weeks pp and i was the EXACT same my second week in.
i still have my moments where i just literally have to put my baby down and walk away and cry because i am so stressed out and overwhelmed with his crying.
your emotions are going crazy, just remember you are not a bad mom and it will get better, you're NOT alone. im here if you need anything. take your prenatal vitamins and make sure you take a b complex vitamin, i know it sounds weird... but my mom swore up and down it works & fr me to take it, and it really does work..
communication is always best in a relationship, just try & be as rational as you can be, and remember it's probably just your hormones.

Take a deep breath. I think you're just overwhelmed but i have no clue honesty. It'll will all get better. Hopefully it happens really soon.

My mind has just been in a million places & I just want things to even out a bit. I'm trying to have as much patience as possible too. I felt like I had so much more energy a week ago.
