I've been diagnosed with PPD. Before baby I've been battling bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and bipolar depression. Some days are ok. Some days are great. And some days I spend the entire day in the living room staring into space. Only functioning when my baby needs me to and then becoming painfully catatonic when she doesn't. I adore being a mom. But its also killing me. I'm on meds, tried therapy. There's got to be something else, ANYTHING ELSE, I can do to not feel like a random piece of shit almost everyday. If anyone has ANY ideas or suggestions, no mattet how bizarre, throw them out there. I need to be better for my baby. I can't handle this much longer.

I'm so sorry! Do you have anyone that you can lean on so you can take a break?

I'm sure this has been suggested, but exercising and a mommy and me group. For some people it's getting out of the house that helps, maybe switching the meds you are on as well, keep a journal and just be as honest as you can when you go to therapy with your journal.
