I posted this somewhere else not too long ago. I'll repost it here. Don't know if it will help you at all but if it does, I'm happy. If it doesn't, just let it slide.
In the movie Castaway, Tom Hanks' character had to have four things to survive on the island four years in order to make it until someone rescued him. These are the four things:
1) A goal - to get off the island and marry his girlfriend
2) A purpose - to deliver the packages once he got off the island
3) Something to do - build things, gather food, learn to make fire, etc.
4) Something to care about - Wilson
Sociologists tell us we can create meaning in our lives with these things. I have found also that my relationship with my Higher Power helps me because I don't have to carry my burden alone, whatever that is at the time. I cannot overemphasize how much this has helped me in my life. I turn very troubling things over to Him when I don't have answers.
I also agree with AAAAA, there are times when we need some help with our troubles and our doctors can help us with meds temporarily.
