Seems like you've already prepared your list, OP.
Number 1 thing is just to accept your feelings. They're reasonable, expected feelings given your position. But by continuing your work, working to better your position, you have the antidote: hope. The depression is just a signal. You expect it to be there, and you know it will pass. Whenever you feel it, accept it, continue to think of your work, which will give you hope, and wait for the depression episode to wash out.
Continue your work. It is all any of us ever have.
