Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. Persistent family problems, issues with husband, lack of understanding with in-laws, remaining alone etc all factors have probably resulted in precipitation of your depressive symptoms. These depressive symptoms are further aggravating the issues of family and this has resulted in a vicious cycles of depression-family problems-depression. To come out of this depression you have to break this cycle. Feeling like dying can be a main symptom of severe depression. I will advise you to get yourself evaluated from a psychiatrist for treatment.

Also visit a relationship counsellor along with your husband for solving the issues. For depressive symptoms cognitive therapy can help to improve the symptoms. Medicines like SSRIs or SNRIs can be used for treatment if needed. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
