If I were you I would try not to react to your son's temper with anger of your own. My daughter could be terribly provocative. When she was 2 she upended the ice cream on her tray and ground it round with the palm of her hand and looked at us challenging us. My sister was visiting and remembers it. I don't. I am bad with that sort of thing. It is always best to avoid a conflict of wills. Our society is already way too willful.
My depression is not nearly so serious as yours. I never had to call it MI. I just bitched about everything, and we talked and talked, and those who didn't want to talk were free not to.
Sadness is lovely in its way. Anger and depression are not.
The way you manage your depression with your son can either be done well or be done badly.
You can find a way to do it as well as possible.
