it feels like it has no ending, not even a beginning. It feels like maybe you always felt this way because you can't remember how it feels to feel good. Sound familiar? a lot of us understand, probly most of us.
Muffy's advice about talking to your kids is a good idea i think. My mom went through some hormonal issues but was too embarrassed to ask a doc...so the result was a depressed and angry person. It was confusing. i didn't feel mad at her or anything but it would have helped if i could have known what was happening.
do nice things for yourself, indulge a bit. Watch out for sugary foods and such though as they tend to increase the heavy, slow feeling. Have you tried guided visualization? It won't lift the depression per se, but it can help soothe and relax you. Getting through depression is like getting through any other medical problem... nurture.
people love you, remember that and anchor yourself to it. The sky may not look as blue, or the flowers as bright, but they will again.. the colour is still there. Life is as good and as sweet as it ever was in the best of moments...how you view it has changed.
