On my 4th antidepressant.

I don't know what to do next. My PPD/PPA is pretty mild this time, but nothing is helping! Any advice?

For context, I had pretty severe PPD/PPA with my oldest 15 years ago. I'm honestly surprised and so happy to still be here. My meds helped a lot more last time. I'm currently just over a year postpartum this time, and been medicated since January. But it barely takes the edge off. The first antidepressant triggered my migraines but worked better than the next 3. I'm still getting angry at tiny things (like someone not putting their plate in the sink or leaving the baby gate open), and still randomly bursting into tears. I'm thankfully not a danger to myself or others. I start therapy on Monday, but unless I magically have a lot less on my plate, I don't know if it'll really help.

Again, any advice is welcome! I just want to feel like myself again. I don't like current me.
