Postpartum depression hit me hard and nobody talks about it in dads

My daughter is 8 weeks old and I'm struggling bad. Sleep deprivation is part of it, but it's more than that. I feel flat. Nothing is enjoyable—not even holding her sometimes, which makes me feel like a monster. My wife is dealing with her own stuff and I don't want to burden her. I haven't told anyone except my best friend and I felt ashamed even saying it to him. I know PPA is a thing for moms but apparently dads can get hit too and I had no idea. Talked to my doctor yesterday and got referred to a therapist who specializes in this. Just putting this out there in case someone else is in the same boat—you're not alone and you're not broken.
