What's the deal with depression?

Can you guys fix me? Seriously...I'm extremely depressed...don't want to do anything, go anywhere...can't get anything done...and I have an almost 2 year old...  I've never been like this but it's bad.  Don't know what to do or why I am in such a fog.  Anyone else?

Are you normally prone to depression?  Or are you talking about the 'i feel like total sh*t and am so overwhelmed with the things I'm not getting done and feel like the worst wife/mother ever!' feeling?  

If it's the 2nd thing, I don't know, but I'm there too.  I don't remember it as much from my first pregnancy, but I didn't have a 22 month old then and it wasn't really a big deal if I didn't cook or clean or play all day.  It's just so frustrating to feel like crap day after day and feel so behind on cooking and cleaning and everything else.  I know I loved being pregnant the first time around so I just keep telling myself it WILL get better.

Yeah it could be what you're talking about...I'm definitely all those things...blah.  I had no issues with the first pregnancy but with this one I've been really nauseous the whole time...so guess it could be that but it's like I don't even want to think about the pregnancy it makes me sick

I'm right there with you.  My first pregnancy was a breeze.  Now, I have a 4 year old who always wants to play light sabers and I can barely get my ass off the couch.  Plus, my husband works nights, so he can't even be here to pick up the slack most evenings.  It SUCKS.  I just want to lay on the couch and do nothing because I'm tired and feel like ass ALL THE TIME.  It's just not an option most nights, though.  I'm hoping I'll get some energy back in the 2nd tri and then I can be the mommy I should be!
