*my inability to concentrate
*it's hard for me to accomplish anything
*feeling like a failure as a mother, worker, and girlfriend
*everyday i feel like i haven't slept in days when i sleep
7-10 hours a night depending on when my son goes to
bed and when he wakes up
no matter how many times i bring it up they say it's the depression. Is there something else i should have them look into?

Yes, I would ask your MD to check for problems like hypothyroidism that could explain being sleepy all the time or depression in general. There are actually quite a few things to check for. I have a partial list here

along with many healthy safe things for you to try that have quite a good chance of working for you.
