Try to spend some time each day just for you to do what you enjoy doing. It might be listening to some music; or watching a funny movie; it might be reading an uplifting book ... or reading a magazine if a book is beyond you. It might be phoning a friend or family member and having a long talk with them about good memories etc. Try to keep away from touchy/depressing subjects. Come to SP and go to the message boards. There are a lot of 'game-type' ones in various teams as well as in the "SparkPeople Game Room" in the Community Message Boards.
Are you able to go for a walk? That will often help because you see and smell different things, and it gives you a chance to clear your mind.
You mention that you have friends who are psychiatrists .... perhaps you could use them as a sounding board????
AND, above all, TALK WITH YOUR DR!!!! Explain the family history and how you are feeling.
Here is a link for you to look through. There may be something in there which is helpful:
