It's so awesome that you're using exercise and resulting pump of endorphins to counter the onslaught of the blues. One thing I find helpful is to use exercise more as a preventative activity than remediation. Doing some aerobic exercise in the morning before work really helps regulate my emotions throughout the work day. In the evening, when the endorphins run out, I'll either go ride my motorcycle for a bit or hit the weights.
You did such a great job yesterday, and I think you're well on your way to dropping the rope. I think if you up the socializing a bit more (because everyone needs positive human contact), your world will just expand exponentially.
Baby steps....celebrate every inch of progress gained as if it were a mile.
Now get busy getting busy!
