When I nap in the afternoon, I get confused and depressed. I feel anxiety and obsess about death. The same thing happens after a night out, which has led to me not drinking too often anymore. Its the worst feeling. Wonder why this happens? I can understand the confusion but not the depression and death or losing someone I love fear. As I have a new baby, I often nap during the day, but afternoon naps make me like this and I just wish it would stop.

It sounds very much like Post Partum Depression , after having a baby.

Please look into PPD (postpartum depression). The worries about death, depression, and anxiety are symptoms of that, with a new baby in the equation.
i hadn't thought of it has postpartum depression, but now my whole world is crumbling.. in the new baby haze i have discovered my husband has feelings for an 18 year old girl who works for him. he claims nothing has happened other than a couple texts and phonecalls which i actually saw. it has thrown me, i cannot cope with anything.. the anxiety is 100 times worse. we have addressed the problems in our marriage and will work at it.. but i cannot shake the fear that he is just going to run off. i cannot sleep, when i do try, my heart pounds so badly i feel like i am having a heart attack. i also cannot eat or do anything.. even making food and cleaning the house are beyond me.. caring for my kids is an effort. he has asked i go stay with my family for a couple days while he sorts through his feelings, and has the space to miss me and focus soley on us.. and i can get some more support instead of sitting on my own at home all day.. why do i feel he is just trying to get rid of me.. why do i feel like this is ending when he so sincerely tells me how he will do anything to keep our marriage alive.. that he loves me so dearly.. i go through the motions of livening it up, rekindlling all the things that had gone for our relationship.. but i just feel i am fighting a losing battle, despite his reassurance, and feel that this will end us.. how do i look at this.. i will not leave my marriage without having given it every shot.. but how do i get the strength and resolve to do this without driving him further away with my neurotic behaviour.. how to i get passed the depression to focus on the situation i am in and deal with it the right way..
sorry this has gone completely off topic,but am desperate for advice.
Why wouldn't you get that much. All you have to do is go to bed. Unless, of course, you have insomnia.

Just saw you asked me this months ago. Just never have slept that much, 6 hours is usually my max. I also wake up a lot at night. Dr. has suggested, without much enthusiasm, a sleeping pill but neither she nor I really want to go down that road.
I do power nap.
Funny story. When I was in USN OCS we got scheduled for 7 1/2 hours (2200-0530) and I didn't know what to do, I wasn't used to that much sleep.

Please, please go see a doctor. Your symptoms sound very much like those of a friend of mine who was suffering from post-partum depression. You will never be able to work on your marriage until you deal with this condition. It's not your fault, but your brain is going haywire right now. You need to speak to a professional who can help you get it back in balance. My heart really goes out to you.

Ditto.
But, also, do NOT let your dh pin this on you. Whether or not your behavior is "neurotic" is not relevant in ANY way as far as how he feels about someone else and acts on those feelings (personal phone calls and texts count). That is 100% on him, no matter how he tries to convince you otherwise.
He needs to give your marriage every shot, too.
