Am I depressed and should I go on antidepressants?

I feel down probably 80% of the time. I feel anxious and down about so many things in my life. I want to be happy, but I can't help how I feel. Some of it is my circumstances, but I am wondering if I should go on an antidepressant. I feel fine when I am around people or doing things, but when I am home with my daughter by myself I can hardly stand it. Do I sound depressed?

    See a psychologist. The fact that you feel depressed when your home is sad for you and your daughter. But you can definitely change it. I have depression, therapy helps and so does medication. Wish you the best.
