Well, if you're feeling depressed, I can only tell you about something that helped me: Dr. Martin Seligman's book "Learned Optimism." I wrote a little about my perspective on it about a year ago:

I'm sorry that isn't a grand, unified answer to everything, but if it helps you even a little I would be delighted.

Dr. Martin Seligman's book "Learned Optimism."

Very useful, a suggestion well worth following up on.

Added to my wishlist on Amazon, sounds great.

Seems similar to 'What to Say When You Talk to Yourself' which I just finished. Probably one of the best books on personal development I've read.
