Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
You are not alone. Many of us experience these problems. There's loss of your career which leads to a feeling of lost identity. There is the stress of a difficult marriage. Even the joy of parenting a 2 1/2 year old is physically and emotionally draining. Know that this is not unfixable.
First, you need to see a physician and tell him/her what you said here. S/he can do bloodwork to make sure you don't have a low thyroid level or diabetes. Second, you may wish to look into a Mom's Day Out program to give yourself time alone. Third, please check out this organization: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) They have helped me more than I can mention. I'm also a stay-at-home Mom. Fourth, you may wish to see about getting a part-time job, if it's possible. That may give you time away from a stessful situation at home, more confidence in yourself, and a renewed sense of worth. I agree with the previous advice-giver that you sound as if you're depressed. Your doctor can probably help you. Good luck and take one day at a time.

I am not a professional but it sounds to me like you may be suffering from mild depression. The best advice I can offer you is to pop along to your doctors and ask for some help. If that is not possible, join a young mums group and talk to them about how you are feeling - I am sure there will be other mums feeling exactly how you are.
Motivation will be a bit of a problem because of how you are feeling, but if you can find some energy from somewhere, it will do you the world of good just to take your daughter for a walk.
As another suggestion, try telling yourself you are a worthy person, a good mother, a good wife and you have oodles of energy. The more you say it the more you will believe it. Good luck and stay motivated.
