Make tiny steps every day, eventually you will climb out of it. Remind yourself what the truth is all the time so your overwhelming feelings don't lead you to bad decisions. Pay attention to how your mood and actions affects others negatively, use this to motivate yourself to do something, anything, to make permanent change in your life. Many of us here have dealt with this, you are not alone. Resist the urge to feel bad for yourself, it's a vicious cycle. Find someone else to take care of or help, it will give you a little boost and remind you to not slip back into despair. And be careful about talking with others that are depressed about your experiences, as I felt like it was two drowning people holding onto eachother while they sank lower. (my personal experience, yours may vary if you are both fighting it together) Find things to smile about, think about good things to look forward to, fight against this.
