Oh sweetie. I feel like you & me could get along quite well. I'm 23. I have anxiety & depression. My boyfriend doesn't quite understand. He tells me things like "You're over reacting" too. It hurts to hear that. Try explaining it to him. That's what I did with my boyfriend, I sat him down & told him, there's a huge difference between being "sad" & being "depressed". Tell him exactly how you feel, even if it's hard to explain. He's your husband, he married you, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.
As for your Mom, there are times that you have to put yourself first. Your Mom will understand. The nurses are there for her care. It doesn't mean you can't still help take care of her, but don't put it ALL on yourself.
If you ever need to talk, please feel free to PM me. Best of luck to you & your Mother.
