Losing myself
For the last 6 years I truly lost myself with everything going on in my life. I feel like I neglected my 2 kids. I'm more prone to going off in simple situations and making them bigger than what they are. I'm scared of going deeper into my depression than what it is now. I've cried more times than I counted on my fingers. So now I've come here for the help I needed.

Sounds like you are dealing with a lot of stress, which can often sabotage your sleep and food
If you have no energy, then depression can feel a lot worse, while in reality a big part of the pain was just the lack of your basic needs having 0 energy to deal with things.
Another tip is not only focussing on trying to fix negative stuff. While this seems very logical sometimes trying to have less things to deal with can backfire.
i.e. if you got 2 good things and 8 bad things, you feel 20% good 80% bad
but if you can remove 2 good things and 6 bad things(which seems good cause 6 less bad things!!)
you end up with 0 good things and 2 bad things, you feel 0% good 100% bad, does that make sense?
So try to work it both ways! Not just reduce the bad things that give you stress
But also focus on adding good things!!!
1 extra good thing might get you up a lot faster then removing 2 more bad things
1) get your energy back up with food and sleep
2) use the temporary spike in energy to add something good
3) repeat
