Is it Depression
ok so i was just married in june 2006. And i have the greatest husband.. treats me very well and takes care of me.. i work about 40-50 hrs a week-mostly evening shifts. When i get off work i am very tired-but for some reason i can never go sleep right away. I try to get up early so that my new hubby and i can go to the store, clean the house, and just get up to spend time with him. I Can't hardly ever get up.When i dont get up im really very crabby and fight with him for not waking me up-Like it's his job or something... or i'll just start picking at him for something stupid and i dont know why... I always regret it and I cry afterwards most of the time. I need to get out and DO things.. like fishing..going out with friends... or even going to visit with relatives... but i just dont... i want to...my husband is a great guy and does not deserve this.... what can I do to make myself better?
Answer:Honestly, it appears you do not have depression, but sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can have the same symptoms as depression, such as being irritable, cranky, and restless. It's not your fault you feel this way. You describe insomnia early in your question. Your doctor can give you medication to help you sleep better and longer. You must have 8-9 hours of sleep per night to have optimal mental health. Sleep deprivation can lead to depression over time because the brain is not given a chance to rest if you are not sleeping enough hours. Try getting 8-9 hours of sleep per night for 1 week and re-evaluate your symptoms. You might find they have lessened. If not, see your doctor for a full exam and depression screening. Also, try to relax about being a good wife. Your husband will understand if you sleep in. Both of you can do things like clean and shop together after you get your sleep. If he is a good man like you say he is, he will mostly definitely give you the time to sleep and take care of yourself. If he is an early riser, take the time to talk with him about your insomnia and need for extra sleep at this time. Let him know about how stressed you are about getting up early with him, working long hours, etc. so he can help you relax. Once you being sleeping normally and for enough hours, I bet you feel better and will once again feel like doing the activities you want to. Good luck!

No this is not depression it is very natural in your case if possible make children as quick as possible,
You're rushing your body into motion before getting sufficient rest. Once your body relaxes enough to sleep, you should let the sleep occur for however long is needed to fully relax.
