Just the title. I was so busy today. I wfh full time and she independently plays most of the day. The most I did to interact with her play wise was when she'd bring me a toy and I'd say "oh a cow? MOOOOOO" or if she would start fussing I would hold her while I worked. After work I usually sit in the floor with her and play but I just couldn't. I laid on the couch and watched her play with her toys. Im so depressed. I keep her fed hydrated and clean but today that was the bare minimum I did and I hate myself for it.

I've been wfh with my 19 month old since I finished my maternity leave when she was 4 months old. My job is mostly clerical work with few phone calls. My toddler is very 50 50 on independent play. Some days are better than others. And we go to her grandparents house about twice a week for extra help. Every time I'm behind that screen, even if she's playing independently, I get a sense of dread that is just nagging me to get in the floor and play with her. She gets undivided attention on my lunch and breaks and after and before work but im constantly battling guilt of "am I neglecting her"?? Can anyone relate?

28F newly diagnosed in the last year. I've been slapped with bipolar with psychosis, bpd with psychosis, post partum psychosis, GAD, major depression. It took FIFTEEN YEARS to find someone who listened to me and finally told me I have schizoaffective disorder. I have been employed my whole life, im currently a litigation specialist who works with attorneys, WFH with a toddler most days. Im obsessed with my appearance, obsessed with doing everything right. After being diagnosed I worked up the courage to get fmla with my job because of a psychotic break I had last year. I'm married and try to act like a housewife on top of a high stress job and raising a child. I cant ask for help because if I do I feel like im succumbing to my diagnosis as an excuse. I dont know what the point of this post is. Just looking for opinions and venting mostly.

Hi all
