Yack, please don't despair. I know, it's easier said than done.

While I haven't been in your exact circumstances, I know the feeling of having several massive things happen all at once, and how much of a toll it is on your health. It's difficult to see any light.

Earlier, I was thinking along the exact same lines you are, and I found myself wondering how much of a bad slant was coming from my depressed state of mind. I had a totally random good thought, which I've just sat here for the last hour trying to remember, but it escapes me now. It was something really stupid, yet true. Like feeling better because at least I can still tie my shoelaces.

The point is, we're resilient. The good things will come back, because no matter what it does, your depression can't keep it up forever. Bad things can't keep happening forever, and so you won't always be held down by them.

Keep going, keep plodding on. Eventually it will ease. This place is wonderful for helping while you're struggling.
