When you're in the hole, the hardest thing to realize is that you're there, so you've already made a huge step forward.

I know it sounds cliche, but have you sought professional help? Therapy and/or a combination of the right medication can go a long way make at least some of the immediate symptoms manageable overnight...

Thanks for the "step forward" comment. I want to get better. I haven't put serious effort into professional help, so that's on my NY resolution list for next week. I have a mental health program available to me from my employer, so I want to try that out and see what it might bring for me.
