Postpartum depression

It's a touchy subject but has anyone on here ever experienced postpartum depression? If so how did you feel during your pregnancy? Just want to know if it popped up on you after or if anyone had felt depressed toward the end of the pregnancy too..

I had it really bad when I was around 22 weeks but I also have depression already so I had a mixture of both and my doctor put me on medicine about a month ago so I could actually enjoy doing stuff again. It almost ruined my relationship with my fiance and the farther along I got the worse it got. I am now 30 weeks with neither depression or the postpartum depression!!!

I haven't experienced it and I wouldn't want too, but this is my first baby and I feel pretty depressed due to the fact that everyone is telling me what to I'm so confused and not happy at all. I cry all the time, the only good times I have is when my baby kicks it puts a smile on my face :).
