Mrs. C,
You're doing a good job of keeping tabs on your feelings. It's much better to have anxiety and to be aware of it, than not to be tuned in.
There's a book I've been reading which I wonder whether you might not find some comfort in. It's by Tara Brach and it's entitled, "Radical Acceptance." I've found her suggestions about dealing with feelings of anxiety, inadequacy, etc. to be gentle, wise, and effective. Perhaps you will too.
Keep in mind that you're already all right. It's not as though when you shake the depression that you'll suddenly be okay. You're already someone who's okay, who happens to have depression.
May comfort and peace be frequent companions of yours.
