Unfortunately not all darkness can easily be pushed away by rationale thought or action.

for me the reminding myself I have stupid hobbies I can afford, live in paradise, and I am reasonably healthy means I truly have it better then most.

when it’s the darkest I find volunteering makes me feel better.

Unfortunately, those things really don't mean shit when you're deep in a hole. 🙁
I think the volunteering is good advise, assuming "you" have "it" in you.
Helping people makes me feel better. Good. Happy.
Knowing that I've made a positive impact on someone else's life in some way is enough to give me a sense of purpose, which in turn gives me a bit of a boost.
Sure, there are other things that help me. But that's just an example...

I also struggle with depression and anxiety.

So I get that, I was just sharing what I have to do to stay level.
