Lost

My magnet works, I haven't been suicidally depressed for a month.  But I am feeling very lost. I have no purpose, no job, no interest in making my house perfect, or even tidy or even mothering any better right now.  Does that mean I am still depressed?  I am tired & right now I have a sore throat & headache.  But there is just always something.  My husbands job is 24/7 right down to him getting a call at 4am on a Saturday recently which happened to be my birthday, I didn't properly get back to sleep either :-(  It just takes over our lives, it has meant I have tended to put kids to bed & do all morning stuff, in varying degrees of success as my limits dictated.  So now they reject him doing it, only really being ok if I am out of the house.  And there is no pattern, no clear routine.  And I have no energy to create one.  Makes me want to run away.

What other paths might I have trodden if I hadn't walked this one?  What paths do I want to take on the road ahead?  I can't recall how I used to get excited about stuff & do things, shit, I must still be depressed.  I guess there are varying degrees.  I have been looking backwards at my life, trying to find the bits where I seriously had my "mojo" and trying to recapture that.  I feel a bit stuck though.  Partly it was freedom, no mortgage, no kids, no committments.  How do I recapture that and not blow apart my life?  Do I want to blow apart my life?  I feel trapped.
