Hi ~ Bless your heart ~ Depression is awful, and like you I've had it since I was a child. With the right medication, you CAN feel great. I'm on Cymbalta 60mg twice a day and Abilify 2mg once a day and I feel wonderful. I imagine I feel normal -- I don't know what normal is supposed to feel like, but I think this is it ! LOL
Your husband is an abusive jerk. Calling you fat, and threatening you is nothing short of abuse. I wonder what would happen if YOU had said the same thing to HIM?? He probably would have just walked out the door.  I feel sorry for him because he has NO compassion or caring. He's just not a nice guy. You'd be better off with getting a dog. 
First I think you need to get your depression under control -- see your medical doc and get some medication started. The meds usually take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks to take affect, so you have to be patient. They WILL work -- just hold on. Secondly, I do agree that you need to speak to a therapist -- about your husband AND about the depression and possible causes. Sometimes it goes deeper than we could possibly imagine. So please make both those appointments.
Best of luck to you dearheart. My prayers are with you. God bless and keep us posted on your progress. Hugs, Lee
