Hi Matty, So you're on Lamictal only? I wonder if adding in another medication may be helpful?
A new baby is challenging even when the relationship has been solid and the circumstances are only normally stressful. For those of us with mental illness a new baby, especially a first child, can be truly difficult. Even traumatic. I found that the sleep loss was extremely hard after my daughter, my first child, was born. It set off over a year of the worst depression I've ever experienced. Now, 36 years later, I look back at those nights of sleep deprivation and wonder how I did it, how I made it through, and was still a good mom and wife and managed to run the household well. B My point is to be sure and give yourself plenty of credit for what you are able to accomplish.
How is your wife been doing?
