Doctor can evaluate: With such symptoms, one's primary care doctor can evaluate, examine, and order some blood tests. Thyroid status is easy to check with some blood tests. There are lots of hormonal changes during and shortly after pregnancy, but by 4 or 5 months later, life should be pretty steady.

Agree with Dr. K: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Wish you good health!
