I think it's completely a personal choice. I did not BF and didn't feel guilty about it for one second.
That's just me.
You have to do what YOU want! 
me too

I'm sorry!
I had the baby blues (still do probably), but the worse was for the first 2 weeks. I couldn't help it and cried almost everydays - sometimes the whole day!
Good news: is that a lot of it is hormonal and should go away with time... It did for me (well not completely yet (dd is 5 weeks) but definitely am feeling much better.).

Re: anyone not BFing??? I feel guilty
It's so personal so do what is right for you! I feel like this can be a very divisive issue when it is really what works for you and DC.
I tried, it wasn't for us. DS is happy and healthy. I love that DH has truly bonded with the baby while feeding him etc.
No matter what and good luck!!!!!!

Re: anyone not BFing??? I feel guilty
I am bottlefeeding, but I don't feel bad about it since I need to take medication that is not great for DC and is released in large amounts in breast milk.
It is a personal choice though, and while breastmilk is great for kids, I also believe you need to choose a feeding method you are comfortable with--if it's not for you for various reasons, don't feel guilty about it (though I know it's hard since everything you read talks about how great BFing is). Formula is fine.
That said, I think you can do a little of both, though I've heard you need to BF or pump enough to keep your milk flowing.

Re: anyone not BFing??? I feel guilty
Also, I just saw your message about baby blues, and I'm sorry you are experiencing that.
It's a difficult time--your hormones are out of whack, you are exhausted and sleep deprived, probably in pain, and you are facing the realities of being a parent. You'll get through it--most people have this for a short time it seems. If it lingers though, definitely talk to your doctor. One of my friends had PPD and said medication for a short time helped her hugely.
