Why do people only care about the baby postpartum? What about the mom??

Did anyone else feel so unsupported during postpartum and feel like everyone only cares about the baby? I’m 7 weeks postpartum from having my 2nd baby and was diagnosed with severe postpartum depression/mood swings last week. I have a toddler and a newborn and live alone. Nobody comes to visit me, nobody checks on me, nobody’s texts or calls, and when they do on rare occasion it’s only to check on the baby and my toddler. I feel like nobody cares about me. I have been voicing to everyone how much I am struggling and how badly I need help and nobody seems to care. About 2 weeks ago I snapped after a very hard day and took a bunch of sleeping pills to just go to sleep. My kids dad came over and when I didn’t answer the door he called the police who showed up and had a counselor come in to talk to me. She talked to me for maybe 10 mins and basically wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to hurt my kids I told her that’s never crossed my mind I’m not worried that I’m going to hurt my kids I’m just worried I’m going to eventually hurt myself. She really only seemed to care about my kids and once I assured her I wasn’t going to hurt them she just gave me a phone number for the suicide hotline and everyone left. I just text my kids dad a HUGE paragraph telling him how badly i am struggling and today has been really hard im needing help and literally he responded to my whole message with only 4 words- “are the kids okay??” Like why does nobody ever ask if IM okay? My kids are fine I am the one who needs checked on im the one begging everyone for some help and support and nobody has any to offer. Im glad that people love my kids and want to check on my kids but what about me? Did anyone else go through this?
