I want to run away

Well not all the time.

I love my daughter. I tried and tried to get her here and even though it was a super rough pregnancy, her labor wasn't so bad.

She's a fantastic baby and 100% my whole world! But I can count on one hand the number of times I've spent a whole 24 hours, heck even just a whole night, without her (spoiler alert, it was 48 hours for my anniversary) And she's now 7 months old. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be away from her for weeks or months on end...but maybe for 2-3 days. I frequently go down to my mom's for the weekend because of this event or the other so my husband has a weekend to himself. And my daughter comes with me. Not because he couldn't take care of her, but because my mom wants to see her.

I do work, I'm a nanny and I take my daughter with me so I'm with her 24 hours a day 7 days a week and I feel like I want to run away! (Yes I know this is a sign of ppd, I have dealt with depression my whole life) sometimes I feel like a bad mom because I have these thoughts and I'm not quite sure what I need or what to tell my husband when he asks how he can help.

What do I do?
