DP, I would suggest seeking some sort of help, be it therapist or psychiatrist. You are correct that they cannot change reality, which appears to be your main problem, however, they can help you cope with it better. Reality is beyond our control, but how we react to it is not.
If you are not proactive in deterring the depression it can slowly eat at you day by day until you suddenly you notice that you are feeling way worse than you ever could have imagined. It's kind of like a drug addiction in regards that it's better to get help before it's a full blown problem.
Not trying to preach to you or tell you what to do, but I just wanted you to hear from someone who's been there and has also seen his loved ones go down that dark road. Hope you feel better, and feel free to pm me if you ever feel like shit and want to talk. I am always willing to listen to anyone dealing with these issues.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
