Sounds like you are making a really good start. Having lived with somone who has suffered from depression what Oldwelshguy says rings very true. "Walks work wonders" is a good mantra to hang onto if you are having a bad time in the office. A 30 min brisk march at lunchtime can clear the head wonderfully.
It sounds like you have a decent sized business as you have staff so one person I would certainly ring is your bean counter. I often have to hand hold in these sorts of situations, and I imagine yours will have done too, and if they have got any sense wont try and whack you with a big bill for the privilege (obviously ask first). I know I act as "agony uncle" for clients on quite a regular basis whether they have debt issues, business going down the pan and often personal ones two. I view it as building a close relationship and those clients tend to end up being very loyal in the longer term, although sometimes I do have to tell people to get out and close down although those are rarely the ones who are thinking about it - those clients are normally the ones who think they have a fantastic business when its not - the ones who think its duff tend be the the ones who are thinking hard about everything and so worry themselves enough to actually survive!
Dont think about things too much, pick up the phone and do them.
