I'm struggling and feel like I can't ask for help

Hi, I'm looking for some advice I think. I have a very smart 3yo girl and a beautiful 5 and a half month old girl and they are both amazing and lovely but for a few months now I have been really struggling. I can't seem to muster any energy to do anything. Some mornings I can't even get out of bed which then makes me feel worse because it means my daughter doesn't go to nursery. I have tried talking to my doctor but the look on his face really scared me so I didn't follow up the self referral he suggested. I spoke to the health visitor but she said it was normal and made a point of telling me that she was a pnd specialist. I've tried speaking to my mum who suffered with pnd after my sister but she seemed to think I was making a mountain out of molehill. My husband has been amazing and does what he can but he suffers with a chronic pain condition and struggles with everyday tasks so he can't do much around the house and considering he also works a full time job I think he probably shouldn't have to (I'm at home full time at present). My in-laws are quite judgey and have been over a few times and I can seem from their faces that they are disgusted with the state of my house ( not dirty but definitely messy) I'm terrified someone is going to take my girls away because I'm not a good enough mum. I need to be better but I don't know how to get there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated but please no judgements xx
