Hello,

You are most probably having full blown depressive episode and you need treatment else it is difficult to get better soon.

Drugs like sertraline or escitalopram will help a lot. They are mild and non sedative and you can continue taking care of your twins effectively.Within few days you will feel better and will be able to have grip over your thoughts.

Usually post partum depression starts early after dilevery but it can be late in many cases; generally it can be a relapse of past depressive illness or a new illness itself.
Reasons can be - altered chemicals and hormonal levels after delivery ; added emotional and work stress of new borns,etc.
So, start medicines and get well.

Hoep the reply is useful for you.
wish you speedy recovery.
