“This is life-is-shit depression. All I do is housework and childcare and I’m sleep-deprived and think-deprived because I never get a moment to myself, not even in the toilet. I miss my old life like I’d miss a lover. I pine for it, I daydream about leaving you so that I can be with it again. You’d like to diagnose postnatal depression because then it’s not your fault.
