I had my first counseling session today. I liked the doctor, so that's a start. She mostly took some basic background information from me. She says that my irritability is a common sympton of PPD, and that we can work on some coping mechanisms to relieve the stress that's causing the irritability. I'll be seeing her once a week for a few weeks till we figure some other stuff out.
In the meantime, she sent me this article to read:

I think I'm quitting breastfeeding. And I'm not going to feel guilty about it.
