Kelly,
Go to the hospital for yourself. It is the only safe place right now and you will get much more intense help than you could if you stayed home.
While you're there ask one of the therapists to sit down with you and your husband to explain what you have been going through. They can make him understand that it's not something that you just snap out of or tough it out. Depression is a very serious disease and needs to be treated that way.
Also most Psych hospitals will give you programs to help you better deal with your depression and anxiety.
I haven't been hospitalized in the last 3 years but when I was there it was the safest place I could be. I also met my current pdoc when I was in the last time and he has helped me a great deal.
You need the help and the rest now. Please go so that we will know that you are safe.
Chris
