For me, dealing with reeds was sort of like learning to ski. Infinitely frustrating for a while, but all of a sudden I had an epiphany and just "got it". Since then, no big deal. While the suggestions to use synthetic reeds are very good, I wouldn't necessarily give up on cane.

For instant depression relief, consider how much better off you are than those poor oboists and bassoonists --- whose reeds do double-duty as their mouthpiece, thus combining the two most problematic items of woodwind equipment into one small piece of fragile and highly variable organic randomness!
