I've not quite the same problem but similar. At best, my meds take the edge off my depression and limit the times I sink lowest. Years of meds and moderate therapy did not prevent my fall out of the workforce and entrance into disability. Nevertheless, adherence to my "regimen" and knowledge of what triggers me allows me an existence not totally devoid of interest.

This might not cure your dysthymia, but it certainly could go far to increase your quality of life. Given the duration and intractability of your illness, you may qualify for public programs to assist you to find such work. At least it's worth talking to an expert in such issues.
I wish you the best. I suspect you've got a lot more on your mind; here's a safe place to let things out.
