Stress after birth

People are being insensitive. I just gave birth and I’m struggling. I still can’t walk or sit properly and my in laws are saying I’m not doing much compared to others. They’re also saying the other in laws took only 3 days and they’re doing chores. Mil even said she wasn’t this weak then. I get 2 hours of sleep Everyday and no one is helping. I feel like I’m on my own and I’m breaking down. My husband is not being there for me as much as I want to. Am I being too sensitive? Am i taking Too Long to recover?
