Feeling at the end

Ok, so me and husband have really started to struggle through the covid19. Been around each other more and with a child with autism has caused a lot of stress. I love him and I'm sure he loves me but I also really dislike him if that makes sense. He's suffering with depression for 5 years now and although I do too . Im luckily able to respond to meds where as he has not responded. Over these last few months it arguing, and he's got really lazy. I'm not going back to work for a few months yet due to my child with autism but he's really annoying me, with his silly arguments, not going to bed at night and not yet to g up in the morning( I understand this could be his depression) but I'm at my wits end now. I've been feeling alone for some years now, and like a single parent..I just don't know how to cope any more and looking for advice. If I suggested counselling he'd feel that I've lost interest in him.
I feel like I'm not living just existing now and I want to have the old man that I married back😭 . Advice...

If meds haven't helped him (he should go back and try different ones BTW, there are loads of options and eventually they'll hit on something that helps) he could try individual therapy/counselling, and again, if he's had that he could try someone/something new.

If he isn't arsed trying any new med or therapy, you could ask him to do it for you if he won't for himself.

As to the other stuff- have you tried letting him know what you want him to change? How does he respond?

He has tried different meds but he doesn't feel any different on them . If I tell him what I'd like him to change he will try but it always goes back to the same way..and then he feels really bad if I tell him what he's doing wrong so he's feeling worse again so I just tend to ignore as much as I can now
