Hey Scott -Hang in there! You may not be able to ignore the darkness (hell... if we could I guess this whole depression thing wouldn't really be an issue) but you can keep in mind with all your previous trial experience that nothing lasts forever. Every phase we go through waxes and wanes. Not the most consoling thing I realize, but it has gotten me through some horrific episodes.
