Difference between PPD AND exhaustion?

Hi - These past 3 weeks my daughter has been going through the 4 month sleep regression and she wakes every hour of the night. I'm on my knees with exhaustion having to look after during the day and night on my own.

Last night she decided to only sleep 2 hours between 10pm and 5am and I just cracked and totally lost it and I've just been hysterically crying ever since. Last weekend I had not interest in doing anything either and just kept crying, although when friends came over I felt a little better. I don't know what it was about last night that specifically tipped me over but I've been an absolute mess today. I'm exhausted, headache, dizzy, angry at my child, crying, hyperventilating etc.

How do I know if it's just exhaustion or PPD?

Thanks for your help

I'm not sure but it does sound as if you need some support.

Have you got anyone who could have her for an hour, even if they just take her for a walk in the pram?

How are you OP? @Frazzledandtired91 How's things now? Xx
