if you feel this is serious enough then i recommend seeing a psychiatrist and getting their opinion.. they may be able to suggest medications if needed or alternatives to medications if your would like.. and talk therapy is very beneficial.. the best thing about a therapist is that they don't know you.. therefore they don't have any personal opinions towards you.. so you get honest, unbiased help..

the best depression/anxiety reliever i can recommend is exercise.. it takes your focus off what's bothering you and hey it's just good in general.. exercise also releases serotonin, dopamine and a few other nuerotransmitters in your brain.. serotonin helps you sleep and dopamine is related to pleasure and happiness.. those chemicals i just mentioned are the ones that your brain lacks when depressed.. exercise helps to balance them.. this has been clinically proven to work faster and longer than medication.. simply taking a twenty minute walk each day could really help..

exercise also releases endorphins.. the body's natural pain killers.. this is related to "runner's high"..

other than exercise you could try deep breathing, muscle relaxation techniques, meditation, yoga, listening to music, writing in a journal, or talking to a friend about it.. i also drink ungodly amounts of tea.. haha..

get a good social support network.. talk to a friend or family member about how you feel..

take time out for yourself each day.. to just reflect, relax, and settle your thoughts.. do things that relax you and that you enjoy..

warm milk also helps to produce serotonin.. so maybe drinking a glass before you go to sleep may help..

try to get at least an hour of sunlight each day.. this also helps to balance your brain chemistry and produces serotonin..

eat a healthy diet.. and drink lots of water..

just try to make the best of things.. it may be hard, but it's essential to survive..

i really hope this helps.. and best of luck

To me, it sounds like you are having a reaction to strong emotional stress. One of the features of late-stage stress adaptation is a loss of the ability to "not react" when something upsets you.
You may also be feeling the need to isolate yourself from things that bother/frustrate you - maybe you find that you are spending more time alone, or engaged in solitary activities. At a guess, I'd also say that you've noticed your emotions seem to be "all over the place" lately - sudden extreme feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety.
If this is the case, you need _rest_, right now. You need (somehow) to let the people around you know that you are not coping; and that you need both time, and physical/emotional space to recover your strength.

You should probably see a psychiatrist & a Counselor. Medication can help with the outbursts and talking to someone outside the family may help you sort out your feelings and give you a new perspective on things.

What did your husband do when they said these things, did he just stand there and do nothing?

Why couldn't you have said something, even with him standing there?

You don't need to see a doctor, you are angry with good reason! Good for you that you are not keeping that anger in any longer.

You let your husband know that his parents owe your parents and you a formal apology, immediately! If I were you, I would never go to see them until they do this.

Sounds to me like it is your in-laws that need to see a doctor.
