Lifes Journey through depression

Well I am 29 years old and I have suffered from anxiety and depression for about 7 years. 
 
I didnt really know that I had depression until I had a breakdown 18 months ago. Me and my husband own a small business and we are very busy people working 7 days a week and looking after 2 children as well.
 
After my first child was born I felt really sad and hopeless, tired and confused, this passed after 3 weeks but I then developed anxiety which never really went away. 
 
When my first child was 4 I had another baby and felt exactly the same, but the anxiety got worse over time. When my second child was 2 I ran away with my eldest child. I was never coming back, I didnt tell anyone I just hopped on a plane and went, not thinking of anyone but myself.
 
I still didnt realise that I had depression. Luckily with the support of my family and my wonderful husband I came back after only 1 night. After I came back I had a lot to answer and resolve.
 
My GP put me on cipramil for 12 months which I havent long been off. I am still suffering everyday but I am trying so hard to work this thing out. I have to get through this for myself and my family.
 
I am seeing a psychologist, she is helping but I think I need to get through this with lots of positive thinking. Because I really believe you have to help yourself as much as you can.
