I just want you to know you aren't alone. I went through this also! I wish I could tell you exactly when it feels better...but it is different for everyone. We've been home over 2 years and I still have tough days. Give yourself some alone time. Being a mom does not mean spending every waking second taking care of their needs. Do what you can - as others have said, Fake it until you make it! That is tough advice right now. I think that you are in a totally normal place for being home such a short time. Relax...try to watch them play - what things do you see that you were hoping for? A smile? A word? (I don't know how old they are)...find one thing each day that is good and mull it over before you go to sleep. Don't focus on the negative. You will wake up one day and feel better. Going to see a doc is a great idea - but don't be shocked if most docs have not heard of PADS. It just isn't that discussed!
