Depression making it hard to be dad

I'm on day 4 of barely getting out of bed. My wife is handling most of the kids stuff but I feel terrible about it. The kids keep asking me to play or help with homework and I just don't have the energy. Medication isn't working like it used to. Therapy appointment isn't until next month. Anyone been through this and found ways to still show up for their kids even when mentally you're not there?

I've been there and it's hard to accept help when you feel like you should be doing it all. But your kids need a dad who's getting better more than they need a dad who's burnt out trying to push through. Talk to someone if you haven't already, and be patient with yourself.
