Do you think it's best for me to be stay at home, as i'm a single parent, or leave my kids with a babysitter and have myself checked in?

If you feel you are a danger to your children definately check yourself in. If you think you can ride out the storm, stay out and enjoy your children. Remember that they learn from you, if they see you are strong and that nothing cant stop you they will learn from you that life doesn't stop for no one and they must fight to make it in life.

If it's that severe the best thing you can do for you and your family is to get help before things get worse. Severe depression can lead to suicide (not necessarily but if things get rough enough maybe). You're no good to anyone when you are no good to yourself. So I think finding a babysitter or a relative to take your kids so that you can go to the hospital is not the only option but the best. you'll recover faster than you think and you'll leave with coping skills and a better outlook on life. Plus if you check yourself in and can't bear to stay then you can check yourself out.

The best way to deal with depression is never let it win. Make a booklet of good and bad and see if you can isolate the depression. Like when did it start. Is it worse during certain times of the year. and so on. Myself I keep depression at bay by keeping my mind away from me. Knitting, walking, baking and with you children are a great joy and should not cause the stress leading to depression. Good luck and if I can help by lending an eye please e-mail me at ambivilantone@yahoo.com

Go get help! Make sure your children are with someone who is responsible and willing and able to provide good care for your kids while you're away. Explain to your kids that you're sick and need to get help and then go!
It takes a lot of courage to admit than you need help. I commend you on that. Please follow through and and get the help you need. Your children will be better off and so will you.
Good luck to you!
