That is kind of where I am too right now... Things are happening, some good progress... but I still get bogged down with feeling depressed and hopeless, and sometimes anxiety ridden.

Why? Its just the depression. That's what it is, that's what it does.

Try anything you can to get it to stop... you just have to get through the weekend (I know it probably seems a long way away right now). Remember to ask the doctor and in sessions in the hospital for some specific ideas for coping skills for when you feel this way. Writing them down... going out for a walk for some fresh air and excersize... gardening... reading... are some things to try. Reading never works for me because my mind races so much I can't concentrate. But there are huge lists of things for people to try. You can find some that work for you and that will be a good goal for you. I find that when my mind is racing I can shake my head and say "STOP" sometimes I say it out loud and that helps. Sometimes only for a little while but it helps.
