Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

These are all symptoms of depression. Depression can affect anyone and you can overcome it completely. This is a phase and it will go. Once you improve you will be able to handle this situation easily. Share these feelings with your husband.

Consult a nearby psychiatric clinic. You can contact me for any further help. Make sure not to be alone and trying to be with someone close to you, share your thoughts, sleep for an adequate time, have healthy meals on time, involved in activities you used to enjoy earlier.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohit Kothari
