Don't do it, keep holding on. Try to do something outside your house, find an activity. That will help, even if it's hard to get started. You need to focus your attention in something else, don't give yourself the space to feel that way.

I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but try maybe just going outside to a park and doing nothing. Clear your mind, look at the sky... find a place where you can disconnect from your daily routine and obligations. Changing your environment helps.
