Hang in there. Things will get better. This might sound crazy and maybe too personal but depression is a disease too, so if you havent been treated already please think about it.It was helpful for me when I thought I was in fear and depressed, along with a self help program I did called ,Attacking fear and anxiety, through the Midwest Center. It helped me understand where the depression was coming from if it was from my symptoms (meniers)or my way of thinking. I found that it was both for me. My prayer are with you. Peace and Blessings
