I don’t know if I’m depressed

I’ll keep this short but start off by saying I’ve never been the most patient person in the world. I’ve also felt like I’m a very emotional person… not in the sense that I cry often (I don’t) or that I can’t have a laugh because that certainly isn’t the case, just that I feel things strongly. I also had a baby almost 1 year ago and it’s the best thing ever

however within the last 3 years since a parent passed away and I took on extra stresses in life, I have pretty much lost all patience I ever had. Big things don’t tend to annoy me but the tiniest things? Infuriates me

ive also become really sensitive I guess. I feel it’s starting to impact my relationship, he is an incredible guy and I really don’t want to lose him.

do I sound depressed? It’s exhausting and I’ve felt like calling the dr’s today - I don’t have any issue going onto anti depressants if I need them but my main worry is taking them if I’m not actually depressed.

It sounds more like burn out than depression. I don't think antidepressants would really help you, what it sounds like you need is to reduce your stress.
