blankgirl....I personally understand the battles that rage when one is faced with depression atop of everyday priorities. The first thing which you must do is prioritize your task.
First and foremost, please be sure that you put God first. Pray, and seek His guidance. I know that it is not easy to pray and talk with God when depressed, but I can assure you that it can be done and that it is the only thing that will lead guidance to your situation.
Next, found your bible and read and study. God will lead you to the passages that will have much meaning and pertain to your situation.
Below, is a list of YOU SAY, GOD SAYS, verse references that I think will be of some help:

Just remember, that as Christians, God is always by our side, and that when we become weary and feel that we can no longer move on, He will carry us.
