Not to get all religous, but when I had a short, bad spell in my life (nothing too bad, just enough to feel pretty low for a week or too) I was reading the New Testament. Really helped.
I look at it this way, no matter how bad things can get, think of how bad Jesus had it around Passover 33 A.D. He got to take the entire world's sins on his shoulder and was crucified to death.

He had a hard life here on earth. I believe one reason the age 12 to age 30 years are "covered" is because they were so horrific. It would hurt us to know about them - and His enemies would mock. I sometimes say to myself "If the Lord God is strong enough in His desires to work out His Kingdom's purposes that He gave His First-Born Son some pain and trouble - is He strong enough to give some to me?
