Depression is not something you can snap out of. It is a medical condition that involves chemicals and nerves in the brain.
You are not waste, you are not a bad mom. Being depressed is not a matter of deserving it or not.

As for bothering your OH, does that mean other half? Do you have a sofa or easy chair where you can sleep? I do that when I have a cold, that way when I cough or get up to get something to drink, it doesn't disturb my husband. I miss him when I do that. I usually wake up earlier than he does so when I've spent the night on the sofa, I crawl in with him and snuggle for a bit.

You're not bad. You just have the disease of Clinical Depression.

Hugs.

	My husband is my best friend. In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
