I think I might be depressed but I don't know where to start or if a doctor could help. I seem to have lost control in life and I don't seem to be able to keep the house tidy or keep on top of the children's activities/school homework etc. Everything seems to take a long time for me to do and I keep wondering how other people manage to keep a tidy house etc. I had two miscarriages last year - the last one in December. They were both very early, but still made me sad as I am already 41. So maybe it's just passing feelings, but I'm worried I've been so low for so long since last summer. I have two children 5 and 3 so I should be happy, but I keep thinking about my DS going to school in September and how the preschool years will be gone. I've put on quite a bit of weight as well, but somehow can't work out how to get rid of it and do some exercise. I know life would be much easier and satisfying if I planned activities each day for the children, and I used to do this, but now I don't even seem to be able to keep enough food in the house. I also broke my wrist in January so it's been difficult with that. I work part time but from home so it's a bit hard to keep perspective on my work as I often get disproportionately upset when I have made a mistake - I think that wouldn't happen if I was in the office, but we can't move to where my office is and I wouldn't be able to find another job like this as it's very specialist. My husband works away for 20 days a month, so there's not much scope for me to slack, but I seem to anyway. What makes me worried about finding help is that DH had a very difficult childhood losing his whole family in an accident, but has come through and got on with his life. It seems a bit pathetic in comparison if I can't cope with the ups and downs of normal life. Would this be the type of thing a doctor can help with or maybe when it's spring life will seem easier?
