Tired and fatigued...

I am really new to this board, let alone feelings of depression.  I am a mother of 2 young kids.  My husband and I have had issues for sometime now, you know the everyday stuff until last December when our lives feel apart.  Since then he is doing everything he can to help himself feel better and now I just feel tired!  I am short with the kids and my husband, I have not energy to do anything that I usually enjoy doing.  In the past I have always been able to shrug all of these feelings off but I just can't seem to shake them this time.  I have talked to my Doctor and he has written me off work for 2 weeks, I have talked to a cousellor and I actually go back tomorrow.  I don't know how to turn myself back around and start to feel better, stronger.  I just want to shake all of these feelings off!

sk8, you've got quite a bit on your plate hun. IMHO you need to set up some "me time" take a long soak with candle fragrance filling the air. That's my favorite. I carry my hot tea, my book (if I wanna read) into the bathroom with me. I've got a small radio in there so I can tune out the world and just be. Now I understand sometimes that's difficult with little ones but you really need to find some time for you.
Did your dr think you needed AD? or just time off work? The counselor should help and suggest some things you can try to relax.
