Farmgirl. It is really tough to admit to ourselves (never mind others) that we don't feel that we're coping too well. Having other things going on as well can only make things that much worse.

It's a huge life change so give yourself time.

Some days I also counted hanging out washing as getting out...

As for achieving things, I felt the same in the early weeks, but I found over time as I saw DS grow and develop that everything I did with him - feed him, change him, whatever - was achieving something. Once I emerged from those first few months and found my feet a little I gained some perspective that really helped.

Gotta go, must attempt nap time now
