I know that's way easier said than done but it's what you're going to have to do to be close with your daughter. Sitting around doing nothing and letting your depression consume you only makes it worse.

If you're doing all of that and you still feel that badly, get to a doctor or psychologist and get professional help. Nothing to be ashamed of, but you've got to do something different, because what you're currently doing clearly isn't working.

I've been getting waves of anxiety alternating with these crushing lows where I get absolutely overwhelmed...but you're 100% accurate in your assessment.

I went to the doctor, we tried Effexor (?) & Klonipin when I quit smoking pot, but it was absolutely impossible to get a follow up in a timely fashion; when I did, I just told him I was 'doing better' and didn't need the meds...

I mean, I lied, I'm not better at all...but I'm afraid if I told them the truth they'd lock me up.

Shit gets real.
