I used to think that depressed people should just "get over it and think happy thoughts," until I became one of those people who can't "just get over it."
It sucks to be consumed by sadness and not be able to make it go away.
Sometimes it helps to share how I'm feeling with someone who cares...like posting in this thread.

I can't imagine sadness being an enemy that I cannot defeat. You've got to decide sooner than later that you are stronger than your circumstance. Don't think me unempathic to your situation, but as long as you are able to make choices, make positive choices.
If you live at an apartment complex, the laundry room is a good place to meet neighbors and potential friends or allies.
Here's a dumb trucking metaphor: If I end up getting on the wrong road, I'll never make it to my destination until I get on the right road.
