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