I didn't think it would feel like this 11 months PP

My baby is turning 1 in a few weeks and this is the worst I've ever felt. Baby has never been a good sleeper but things are at an all time low. She caught a stomach bug last weekend and was having persistent diarrhea which has led to dehydration. I feel awful that I didn't take action sooner...now she's up all night and all day completely inconsolable. I was hoping to at least night wean to try to improve sleep but now I'm stuck nursing her every hour to try to improve her fluid intake. I feel like I have no autonomy, my body is not my own, my diet sucks, I have no time to do anything to make myself feel good. I can't enjoy anything I enjoyed pre baby. My period has come back with a fucking vengeance since I've been cutting back on breastfeeding and it's turned me into an angry weepy mess.

For the first time since having the baby I worry I can't see what the other side of this looks like.
