Have you seen your Primary doctor about your physical exhaustion? Or how receptive is your OB/GYN to post parthum fatigue and depressive symptoms?

Boundaries with a demanding mom, are difficult, yet necessary. Does she help you clean, at least? Does she take your kids long enough that you can both rest, then muster energy to get things done? I find That's the greatest misnomer about helping moms. Need both rest and time to get things done or pitching in help. Your baby is only 6months old, after all. That's about when my body crashed. 6Months after my third, but I had something neurological that was subsequently diagnosed. You're probably just exhausted. Where's their dad?
