One of my biggest problems was being lonely and too kind to anyone. I would bye friends half the time because I didn't enjoy being alone. As I got older learning that I had a mental sickness as far as having friends became a harder issue to deal with, but since then I grew up. I enjoy more days of being alone and some days it can become depressing. But its just me I have to deal with other than being in a relationship or with family. I think that its a beautiful thing to have more than just you (your two kids). Though, sometimes it can be frustrating because there kids. My only solution is to take your time before you don't enjoy the fact of being alone because I rather be alone than to be surrounded by fake people who is not really for me anyway. I mean I'm a good person that just has issues but I'm home most of the time. You can chat with me as often as you need and even if I don't know what to say we can share experiences. Find a hobby like me. My hobby is music and writing. Then plan an event but first think about who you really can call a friend and set up babysitting or whats necessary to go out. Write a list of your goals or things that you want to do so when you find therapy they can help to assist you to do those things and like I said I'm free to chat and is up most of the time so use me. Good luck. Remember there are answers as well as good people still left in this messed up world. Hay, you never know what good of an outcome it just might be.

It sounds to me like you're just too isolated. Anybody can get depressed if they're stuck at home with no adult contact day in and day out. Trust me, I've been there. I think you will feel tons better if you start getting out of the house more and make some friends. Start checking into some play groups where you can bring your children to play with other children while you get to visit with the moms. Church groups are good and usually free. MOP's (Mother's of Preschoolers) is one I can think of. I do think there's a yearly membership, but I don't think it's much, like $25 or something. And the kids do crafts and things and you get to meet and talk with the moms.
It's also a good idea for you to have some "you time" where you can get away from the kids from time to time. If you can afford it, get a baby sitter like once a week or so, and go shopping, get your nails done or whatever you want to do. Also make sure that you and your husband are having some couple time, just the two of you. You guys should go out at least once a month without the kids.
Another way to meet other moms is to join a women's group where they have childcare offered. I made some of my best friends through these women's groups in the churches I've gone to.
Try some or all of this and I think you'll start feeling a lot better. Best wishes.
