Thanks for your help

Are you being treated for the PPD? That is not going to go away without treatment and medication. It is really, really important to get treatment from someone who is specifically qualified to help with PPD.

Get a jogging stroller and hit the road with the baby OR you can get a bike trailer and tow him behind you OR you can get a baby seat and have him on your bike. But there are some options even if you don't have care for him when you have time to get exercise in.

I had my first child 15 years ago, I too had post partum, it was awful.  I dealt with it for 8 months until I finally told my doctor, he put me on celexa, it helped me so much.  It isn't addicting, and it puts you back in your normal mood.  I would highly recommend talking to your doctor.  Good luck.
