Depression: Depression is a multilayered problem. Yes, getting on the right antidepressants is definitely a step in the right direction, but getting in with a good therapist is an essential component to changing things. See your primary care doc to make sure that your feelings don't have a hormonal component (i.e. thyroid) to them. Don't isolate yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help!

Talk to your doctor: Please see your doctor as soon as possible for an assessment. I am worried for you and your beautiful children.
