Postpartum depression

Hi. Is it possible for postpartum depression to only kick in when baby’s 10ish months? My boy is now 13 months and the last while I’ve been feeling very down. I had the baby blues and really bad anxiety but they all lifted around 4ish months. I had a horrific birth and healing and it requires surgery to fix issues etc so I think I’m traumatised. I also didn’t feel like I recognised my own son for months and that’s so shameful to admit. Just looking for someone to talk to that understands.
