Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted looking after baby

Hi, I have been bringing up my baby all by myself from his birth. DH works full time and I am on maternity leave. Got no family or friends around to look after him.
It's been 11 months and I feel utterly exhausted and overwhelmed. I don't have much money to have nanny or sending him to nursery any soon. I don't know what to do.
Please be kind, I am already depressed and exhausted.

Also, to mention DH has never thanked me or appreciated anything I do air have done, which makes me quite miserable.

The obvious answer is your DH is the problem here, if you was a single parent then fair enough but you have a husband so he should be pulling his weight?

I'm so sorry you're feeling that no. I found going back to work (part time) was a huge help to my mental health. Nursery ate up a fair amount of my wages but it was worth it for the break.

Your DH also needs to step up... It's not fair on you to have the 24/7 relentless job of parent while he kicks back and doesn't support you.

bless you must be going through hard time, maybe you need to sit down your DH and speak to him about it getting a bit to much and who should be lending you a hand it’s not right of him to do that to you, he needs to take over sometimes so you can get a break.
also See if you have any free baby sessions where parents can go aswell, we have a few in our area and the children are happy there while mums get a little break x

He is working full time. 40 hours a week and there evenings and weekends? In which case there is no reason you should be doing by yourself.
