I do not enjoy my job at all, one of the reasons a BP diagnosis is so important since it will allow me to get out of it. And yes, during my depression I was on several different anti-d's (Celexa at first, then something else cant remember, and finally Zoloft). I was up to just about max dosage on Zoloft, but nothing seemed to be helping then that's when I started seeing the psychiatrist. Prior to seeing the psychiatrist my primary care doc was the one prescribing the anti depressants.

As for the shift work triggering, not really sure. It is a good possibility, but considering the alternatives at this point in time shift work is the lesser of the evils. At least on shift I have plenty of time to do homework.
