My wife (28f) and I (27m) just had our first child. My wife is now refusing to feed her, relies on me for everything, and is still constantly mean to me

I’m the primary income. I am feeling so burnt out. Not only is it exhausting to take care of a new child, but I am feeling overwhelmed with needing to work and survive my wife. I need to go back to work soon and idk how we will survive. My wife is the hardest part of this whole thing.

She randomly breaks down crying all the time after she briefly holds the baby or sees the baby happy with me. She doesn’t help at night. She doesn’t help much during the day. She is always hostile to me and any family that reaches out. I can’t handle dealing with a severely depressed person while also dealing with a new child that is constantly hungry and fussy.

I’m gaining weight and not sleeping. She won’t even let me go outside alone ever. She refuses to watch the baby. She doesn’t take care of the baby at night at all.

Tl:dr I feel like I’m an only parent, but with a toxic person around me making everything even harder. How do I fix this before I have to go back to work??
