There isn't a quick fix. Depression and a failing marriage can only be aided by a therapist/counselor.

Find something to do that you enjoy and that takes your mind off of what is happening.
If you are trying to save your marriage, buy a book, "The proper care and feeding of a marriage" would be a good one to use.
If it's too late for that get excited about your new life and don't let anything your ex says bother you. You need all the self-respect and confidence you can get right now. Hang around people who are going to lift you up and be supportive, and definitely stay away from those who put you down. I sure hope that helps, and good luck on your new life. There are great and exciting things to come if you keep on keeping on.

You say your marriage is failing not over. Okay, ask yourself is it salvagable? Who is wanting it over, you or your spouse?
Are the two of you willing to go into marriage guidance counselling? Long lasting marriages do not just happen they are worked at with a common goal, for both partners to reap the benefits of being happy inside and outside. Often so much energy is expended on trying to get yourselves established with house, work, children, etc., you lose sight of each other.
If you feel it is worth the effort start organising a 'date' once a month, week whatever suits. This date is to be about you both where you don't talk of bills, relatives the broken gate etc. This is where you re-establish what attracted you to each other in the first place. Go ice-skating to an amusement park have fun and laughter with each other. It does not have to cost a lot of money if that is one of the major factors here. Remember there are plenty of happy couples who live on a shoe-string budget.
Arrange a picnic at one of your favourite places, park, even just a cup of coffee in a coffee shop.
Talk to each other with interest in what is being said, remember your conversations of when you were first married, hopes and dreams, to be happy with each other?
At the end of the day if you both think none of the above will work, go to counselling for seperation counselling so you can cope with being 'single' again.
Good luck and I hope it works out for the best for you both.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface. This website will show you how to save a marriage and avoid divorce, even if you're the only one trying https://tr.im/Bjq5J

The first thing you must know is if you want to save your marriage and if you find yourself alone in this desire, waiting for the other spouse to make the first move is the beginning of the end. Learn here https://tinyurl.im/aHL2J If you are looking for someone to blame or someone else to put the emotional and physical work into saving the marriage, again, it's going to fail.

You don't state what the problem is that's causing your marriage to fail. One of you must be unhappy? You and your wife should sit down and talk it through.

you really overall, have to look deep within yourself and find what really is bothering you about your failing marriage. if you find it fix it as soon as possible and your marriage probably won't fail. and then of course you won't be depressed.
