Dogs are wonderful, beautiful, receptive creatures who love you no matter what. Let her lick your tears. Let her wind herself around your feet. Let her jump up on you and wag her tail to show you how much you mean to her.
Sweetie, I don't know you (at all), but what I do know is that, if you can bring yourself to look for happiness in the smallest of things, you will find it... and then some. Try not to rely so much on what your meds will do for you. Look at what's outside your window.
What I do is this:
Open door. Sit on steps. Find one thing that appeals to my sense of aesthetics. Approach said item. Indulge. At worst, I've wasted ten minutes staring at a flower. At best, I've found inspiration for another painting or poem.
If that's as far as the day's adventure takes you, so be it. If you can find more beauty past that one thing, go and appreciate it. If nothing else, you'll find that, at the end of the day, you can say you've found one more reason to appreciate that day.
