I hope you don't feel alone in this problem. If you have had your baby, maybe you need some help with finding ways to help you love yourself again, there are many ways to get help, you could start first by talking to your doctor. I have suffered from post partum depression, and with meds, and talk therapy, I found such great relief. And please know, just as I had to do ..it does not make you a bad mother to ask for help with your baby until you feel stable enough to take care of the both of you. My "baby" is 14 now, and once I thought I just couldn't do it, and now, I know just needed a little help in the beginning.And by the way, your baby doesn't need a perfect mom, just a mom to love him or her....you can do this..and if you ever feel like you can't , you can say that too.

Oh I am so sorry and I wish I could help you.  How old is your dear little baby?  Have you been diagnosed with post natal depression?  Have you seen a doctor and discussed how you feel?  Depression does take away so much, but there is help out there for you.
