u/Darstradamus makes a good point: helping others is a strong antidote to depression.
If it feels like too much, consider adopting a dog or other animal, or volunteering at a shelter or the like. Interaction with animals is often easier and less complicated than with other humans, and interaction with a pet, for instance, is known (and has been shown in studies) to improve mood and reduce tension.
There is a world of love and goodness right here on Earth, today, despite the battle now raging between good and evil. Immerse yourself in some of the goodness; give and receive some of the love, and your mood will change for the better. Love is what we are made for -- in THIS life.

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of Dogs Never Lie About Love: Reflections on the Emotional World of Dogs, calls love "the master emotion of dogs."
Primatologist Frans De Waal, author of In The Age of Empathy: Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society, shows that human nature is fundamentally kind, cooperative, and empathic, with a strong sense of fairness and concern for others.
