[quote=Anonymous]Well, I can't really address your root causes, but I have such empathy. For me, when I am feeling low, it's critical to pay attention to sleep, food, and exercise. Do make sure you are taking care of yourself. Also, whatever it is that your DH is doing that is kind (and he's definitely doing a bunch of work, but I am not sure if he is doing anything that makes you feel connected or valued) -- make sure he gets the opportunities to do those things. Hope that makes sense. Make space for those nice things to happen. And if they do, try to focus on them. Also, is there anyone else who can help shoulder your emotional needs? Family, friends? Reach out to them in whatever low-maintenance ways you can. I know you don't have friends over, but can you call them on the phone? Send someone a note? Reconnect with others in your life who make you feel less lonely? Agree with PP - first year with a baby is rooough.[/quote]
