Neuropathy pain and depression: Anyone find help and enjoy life again?

I don’t know what is worse - the pain or the ensuing depression. I am taking Gabapentin and amitriptyline for the pain and the latter is supposed to help with depression but it doesn’t. I have panic and crying jags every day that go on for an hour or sometimes two. A small dose of Ativan is sometimes needed for that to stop. I’m scheduled to see a psychologist in a couple weeks but right now this sense of hopelessness is overwhelming me. I try to get interested in my hobbies to distract me but nothing is working. I have a wonderful support system and that helps tremendously yet I feel very alone in my suffering. I wish there was some kind of support group in my area but there is not. Does anyone have any suggestions, something that has helped them in respect to this? Has anyone ever been this low, come out the other side and is enjoying life again?
