Read your post above. Totally empathize with your struggle and not wanting to go on. Even though I think are symptoms may be a bit different (I primarily struggle with anxiety), I rarely have the energy to do anything each day. Kudos to you for taking care of your kids, though.
In regards to the Vitamin D thing, mine has tested low five years in a row (it's always in the 20s), and I am outside a lot in sunny southern California. The only thing my doctor suggests is to take D3 supplements, which, to my knowledge, do not seem to help very much. Maybe the genetic testing is a good idea. I found this article on WebMD that suggested certain gene variants naturally lead to vitamin D insufficiency in some people. I certainly feel sh*tty enough that I want my state of shiftiness linked to some palpable cause in my body. Anyway, good luck.
Chris
