Feel so down

I’m 27 weeks. Not my first pregnancy. I don’t want to leave the house. I’d happily stay in bed all day if I could, hiding. Don’t live with my partner although we are together. I’m ok with this.
Trying to cut down on the antidepressants I’ve been taking for many years but I don’t think I should as this won’t help at all. I’ve been crying in and off for the past week. I just feel irritated by everyone and everything. I can’t be bothered to eat, let alone cook. I’m struggling for money too. Hating the thought of Christmas as I won’t have all my DC with me as much as I’d like. Saying that, I’m a rubbish mum when they are with me as I haven’t got the inclination to do anything with them.
Not sure why I’m posting here, just letting off steam I guess
