[quote=Anonymous]OP, it really just sounds like you need someone to talk to, since your husband isn't up to the task.

I'm going to recommend two options:

1. See if you can find a postpartum support group. I don't know if you're in the DC area, but there used to be one called PACE in this area, I don't know if it still exists. Alternatively, many hospitals or even pediatric practices offer "new mama" or breastfeeding support groups. Virginia Hospital Center had one that was amazing. Talk to your OB, pediatrician, or lactation consultant to see if they have any recommendations.

2. Find a therapist. Either email your OB or call your health insurance company (mine offers access to a telehealth company that has therapists). You can do it virtually now, you can find a therapist who will talk to you online while the baby is napping, or honestly, even while you are breastfeeding (of course you should ask if they are comfortable with that first, or make sure your camera is neck up).
