B2,
It isn't unfair to "use" her to keep fighting back. She is part of the value of your life. Feeling states change but your love for her doesn't. This bad place will pass and she and you will be glad that this love helped keep you safe. It is a gift -- not a burden. If she were older and you were telling her, "you must keep mommy safe" that is a whole different scene. But knowing she needs you is the perfect anchor.
Call you therapist, please. PPD is hard to fight by yourself. Have you read "Down came the Rain " by Brooke Shields? It is actually really good. She writes about being depressed as a new mom and how hard it all was.
I'm glad you could post. Hang in there.
