I need help. I think I am suffering from depression, but I'm not sure. I have researched depression and I have all of the classic symptoms: fatigue; not looking forward to anything; I have no desire to clean my house; I just want to sleep all the time; when I get home from work I can't do anything but just lie around; I feel like I am ignoring my kids; nothing seems worth the effort; I don't want to interact with people; I just want to be alone.
I don't know what to do. My poor husband and kids are great and they don't deserve to have a wife/mother who doesn't enjoy life, but I don't. I guess that's the best way to describe it. I don't have any suicidal thoughts; I don't think I could put my family through that, no matter how depressed I felt. Somebody please help me.

I'm sorry. I think I posted this message in the wrong category. I'm new to the site so you'll have to excuse my mistakes as I learn to navigate. I would appreciate any replies.
