Struggle

I have been struggling emotionally lately. I have been doing my best to keep busy, be around people, think  positively, stay active and all of the other usual suggestions. I've gone to the doctor on several occasions. As a matter of fact I have another appointment tomorrow. I feel like I'm doing everything "right" and getting nowhere. It makes me feel a little hopeless. It makes me feel like I should just give up and fake my way through it until something gets better. Is that what everyone else does?!
