Those moments of bliss are nice, but they are fleeting. I'm also guessing that they really put the rest of your life into a dark contrast, in a state of "why can't I be like that all the time?"
There's something to try though. If you were depressed for the rest of your life, and even though you had fleeting moments of happiness most of your days are filled with drearyness and lackluster, what then? This isn't about what you would do to get out of it, because you can't. You are stuck in depression and you can't commit suicide or harm yourself either. Imagine that all the rest of your days were filled the same, what would you then do?
I think this is a powerful visualisation exercise, try it and tell me what insights you see.
