Hey,
sorry to hear that you're not doing well, but remember that you're not alone. many on PB have been there before; i remember feeling what you're feeling now a year ago at age 26, previously at age 23, and once at 18, and earlier at 15. almost every time medication helped. and every time i forget what it was like until it returns. and that's the beauty; in a few short months, you will feel better and this feeling of sorrow won't be so heavy on you.
if you feel that your career is forced right now or that you're a bad mother, it's probably that depression does make you feel like you do not want to do anything. you are forcing things in a sense, because you are until the joy of life returns to you.
hang in there. maybe you can try Cymbalta or another med instead of wellbutrin, or give it a few more weeks. you can hang in there; think of how far you've come.
