Ive been dealing with postpartum depression and its been getting worse. I am on meds but they arent enough. At nighttime is when the depression is the worst and i was wondering how can i make nighttimes easier to deal with. I have to be able to care for my baby but i get so overwhelmed at night even if there is nothing happening.
