Coma, you mentioned you just had a baby, did the symptoms you describe start then? It may be related to (Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor) postpartum depression/anxiety, which is quite common. Like previous posters said above, absolutely consult a professional right away! There’s no shame in asking for help.
Also, if you haven’t already, let friends and family know you’re just going through a tough time and need some space. I’m sure they’re worried about you! When you’re up to it, and ready to see them, don’t be shy in saying, “hey, I can’t do (insert activity name here), but I’d love to schedule a phone date (or whatever you’re comfortable doing). Depending on how close you are with them, I bet they’d be willing to help with housework, bring you a meal, or watch your newborn while you get caught up on stuff.
Sending much love and light your way!
