Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First of all please give yourself a lot of credit as you are doing everything in your capacity. Secondly your symptoms do sound of low moods/depression. I suggest you start focusing on your nutrition first. Secondly please start some form of home exercises/deep breathing exercises/yoga, which will further help you to combat these low moods. And thirdly, only when you are fit and healthy and happy can you make everyone around you especially your son happy and look after him well. I suggest you kindly visit your concerned doctor to get yourself thoroughly evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
