too many stressors

I am new to this board and have just about reached the end of my rope. I am 41 - married 15 years and have 3 boys - ages 8, 11, 12. My father died 2 years ago - my brother died 1 year ago and my mother just fell at my christmas party and broke her shoulder. she is now in a nursing home for rehab and will come home in a month or so. I am fried. I am depressed and feel like I have very few friends. My husband helps me alot and listens and I hate to continuously drone on and on about all the same things. I have another brother who does hardly anything. I have to do all of the work and I'm tired of it.  But, beyond this, I am tired of dealing with this dreaded depression. I am functioning - but, barely. I have been on wellbutrin xl for sever years - who even knows if it's doing anything anymore anyway. I'm looking for support - kind of sad that I am turning to perfect strangers. this is what my life has become.
thanks for reading
