"Not having time" and not finding time to take care of yourself, which includes visits to the doctor are symptoms of depression.

Those early days of motherhood are really hard.

i agree with others to take care of yourself. it's hard to think through the practical solutions when you are depressed, but they are there. if you can get help with the PPD you can make changes to make things easier on yourself.


for instance, maybe you and your husband can come up with other solutions - maybe you can work part-time (even if that means getting a different job or making financial sacrifices), maybe he can help you out more. it might be as simple as changing your priorities a bit - why are you being a maid? i bet you can lower your standards for cleanliness a lot, and free up a lot of time, and still not have your house become a health hazard.

That's a good point about the cleaning.
