I know the feeling, and it does get better... then it gets worse again... then it gets better. Sometimes, it even seems to disappear, at least for a little while.
I've battled with depression throughout my life, and have been in a long-standing remission for quite some time now. However, I know that it may return at any time, and that it will cast my world into darkness once again.
Keeping myself busy, finding new hobbies, and generally doing things that are outside the realm of my own normality are what keep me sane. I also like to help others and now I work with kids who struggled with some of the same things that I did when i was younger; that helps me immensely.
I wrote a poem recently about similar feelings that you might be able to relate to. Maybe you can find some comfort in it, or at least relate in some ways.
"Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you." - George Whitfield
What beautiful words, transmit a very beautiful feeling to my person. It's really incredible how human beings work. We are a dissonant existence of which every day I am terrified and at the same time I feel comforted with the things that happen and make us grow and experience. Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to read these words. I will be happy to go through your content.

Thank you for the response, I appreciate it. Existence can be terrifying, but how about the thought of never having experienced an existence? True horror, regardless of what I have seen in life... We would be giving up all opportunities to help one another if we were ignorant to such things. I wish you well on your journey through our unknown world. May we both greet it with perseverance and compassion.
