Lies (trigger warning childhood abuse)

Please don't judge. I am just here for some assistance. I have just been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety as well as asthma. It has been misdiagnosed for approximately 2 years according to the health professions. I also deal with a child who has ptsd who refuses to see a councellor. Short version is we have fought the court system for 5 years. This has taken a toll on me and I didn't realise I had depression until just recent. Is it possible to not know you are drowning until you hit rock bottom? Has anyone lied during depression before to get extensions on university assignments? Is this normal when you have depression?

Can I also add that I too was molestered as a child and this has bought all the feelings and emotions of that back so I have been in utter turmoil but just thought that was part and parcel of being a parent, uni and working. I just feel like life is in a mess and I don't know how to escape from it.
