Psychiatrist 's  Response
These are seemingly symptoms of depression.

Management of such state:

1. Consulting a psychiatrist for thorough assessment

2. Improving your situation (finding some alternative that you and husband can stay together, sharing the responsibility of office work and house hold work etc.)

3. Sharing your distress with someone

4. Taking break from your monotonos work off and on
