( I sure wish I could type better. My thoughts get ahead of my fingers and I can't type well and my proofreading sux.  ) OK. Here's one more comment. Although, as Billie mentioned, getting out among people won't cure your depression, most professionals recommend it as important in helping the symptoms of depression. Isolation promotes depression or, at the least, seems to make it worse. This forum helps somewhat.
However, if you could perhaps seek out some people socially that might help you. I know you said that your best friend now lives two hours away. I went through that, too. My best friend lived two hours away for several years. I'm not good at socializing and I never was one to go out specifically looking for ways to meet people. But, having said that, if there was a way for you to get out of the house and meet people, other than work, that would possibly provide a way to lessen your depression and you might meet someone that you "clicked" with and who you could become friends with and eventually share information about your illness. This is a lot of suppositions, I know, but it's simply a thought. At least it would get you out of the house.
