Like Zinco, I understand...it's been several years for me...what worked for me was having a job in a position that I truly enjoyed...when I had that, I used exercise, daily prayer, good diet and exercise...lost the job - sprung back into depression...not doing all the things I was. Hoping for it to get better soon. As for the silver lining...I have heard that there is, and I believe it...this is what I heard: "nothing lasts forever, not even depression."
