Hi my name is Becca. Im 24 and have a 16 month old and a 5 week old. I struggled severely with ppd with my first and now it's back with revenge. I feel so stuck and so sad. I hate seeing dh sleep and I can't sleep. Even when the baby sleeps 3 or 4 hours I can't get a wink. I hate that dh can't help because he's on medications at night. I hate doing this alone. I feel like I don't want to care for my baby anymore. I feel like everything around me is unfair. I cry all the time. Dh keeps telling me what I'm constantly not doing or should be doing. I want things to fast forward and get Better. I want to be a good mom but I'm failing in every way. I wish I was better

    I hate the loneliness, too. DH can bitch and moan all he wants, sometimes spouses are oblivious to the obvious: newborns take a lot of work. Best I can suggest is sitting down together and discussing what your expectations for each other are.

    You are not alone. You are not an island.

    MH takes heavy medications at night so there is no chance of getting help from him, too. I completely understand.
