Serious depression after moving?

My husband and I wanted to move for years and finally we became able to do so.We moved to a brick house a few weeks ago.I love the house and yard,and wanted this for so long but now I am depressed.I lived at my other property fo rover 30 years.Not to mention the fact that a few days after we moved in the new place we were verbally attacked by two teen boys who threatened us,then someone vandalized my vehicle.I keep telling myself it will get better,but it seems like I wake up sick every morning.Just a deep sick feeling in my stomach.I catch myself crying through the day and hiding so my kids won't see.The kids seem happy,and have settled in fine.I feel so alone and sad.I want to be happy but feel sick on the inside.Has anyone else felt this way after moving and how long did it take you to start being happy?

Update:

I appreciate the answers,but honestly I do not want to start pills for this.I just want to hear from others who have felt this way and hear how long it took them to feel better.

    Sounds like you need to talk to a counselor. They can help you work through those feelings you are having. Or talk to your regular doctor, they might be able to prescribe you something to help you feel better. Or a psychiatrist. Best of luck to you!

    I would go see a Dr, you may need some meds to get you though the next few weeks while you get settled. Moving is like number 3 in the list of what causes stress and can cause you to feel depressed. There is so much to unpack, organize, schedules are mixed up, and that's not counting the run ins you've had already. You may be regretting the move now and feel trapped.
