Depression and Anxiety together

Hi everyone-
2 months ago I started into a deep depression and then a month ago my bf's dad died who I was very close to. I was depressed real bad before he died then it got worse. I was on Wellbutrin for my depression but it wasn't working anymore and I knew my meds needed changed. I finally talked my pdoc into changing me to Cymbalta(a new anti-depressent). I am feeling a little better but I am still feeling insecure with anxiety. It seems as though since my bf's dad died I don't feel right. I feel lost. He was sick before he died and we took care of him and now that he is gone I feel like what do we do now with our time. This is making me depressed. I want to get motivated into doing more around my house and all but since 2 months ago I haven't had the motivation and it still isn't coming back. I don't even feel like putting up my Christmas tree. It is so close to Christmas and I have a teen age dd and she wants the tree up. I need to push myself I guess. I don't know what to do to get motivated and move on and do things. I feel so LAZY. How do I get through this and move on from being depressed and do things I need to do? I go to my appointments but when it comes to cleaning or anything like that...anything I don't NEED to do I don't do it. I want to be happier and live a more active life instead of this boring non functioning one. Anyone have any suggestions. How have you gotten through tough times?
