Hi WallTennis,

My advice is to live in your senses for a while and live in the present moment. Seek out and concentrate on purely sensory experiences. Go for a walk, see, hear, taste, smell and touch richly. Your senses are your friends. They are trying to heal you.

When you are depressed, you can be not only afraid all the time, but also afraid of your own feelings and afraid of situations that might make you afraid. See these notes and see if they explain what's going on. You will find a thing to do in the notes that may break the spell if you practice it a bit:
