It was your decision to stay at home and to be a home maker. You have to quit your job for that. I want to tell you that home making is as important as doing a job. You should feel proud for that because for your family you have made a significant sacrifice. The feeling like you dont want to deal with day to day duties can be due to feeling that you have made wrong decision. I would like to tell you that you should not feel low because you have done a good job. Try to do relaxation exercises for motivation. Exercises like Breathing Exercises, Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises, Meditation etc help in improving confidence.
Hope this helps you, thanks
