Exercise
Yes, it is very difficult when you feel like this, but exercise has been shown to have real benefits for depression. Exercise reIeases endorphins often known as "happy hormones" which lift your mood in the short term and help to reset your brain patterns in the longer term. A brisk walk with the pram would be a good start.
If you find it difficult to do anything and just feel like sitting on the sofa all day (when the children allow it), try also doing one task each day. The challenges you set yourself may be as simple as walking to the post office, making a phone call, writing a shopping list, or dusting the lounge. Choose everyday simple things... however mundane it seems, just achieving one thing each day is a really positive step forward.
