Feeling low and emotionally low
I had a C section 1and half years ago . This is my first child . I have heard about postpartum depression that occurs within one year after your delivery . I am not sure about the things I feel low and at times I literally start crying and for some small reasons or think about something and my eyes starts to tears and even at times I feel like I am not worth of living I am not sure but recently I came across a video that says you can have have postpartum depression even after 2 years of time ,so is it true ? And does these symptoms mean that I have any kind of depression that has to be clinically tested or treated

I am so sorry to hear that you are struggling. Being a new mom myself, I know that caring for a baby takes a lot and is no easy task. Given that, it is normal to feel overwhelmed and even sad at times. Hearing your symptoms, it does seem to be more persistent and severe. It appears that you will benefit from counselling, therapy and maybe medication.
Next Steps
Book a session with a psychologist and consider medication if needed.
Health Tips
Prioritize yourself and your own needs. you can be a great mom if you also take out time for your own self to relax, do things you like, take help from others.

Reading your verbatim, it appears that you are suffering from Depressive episode (it's not relevant if it postpartum or not, coz it doesn't make any difference in the course of treatment or prognosis). It needs to be confirmed clinically after consultation with a Psychiatrist so that a definitive treatment can be started.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist, preferably in-person.
Health Tips
It's common for people to feel less worth while they are depressed but remember it is just an episode which is bound to get over and your will realise your real worth again.
