Have you tried mood stabilisers? They are often used for treatment-resistant depression, and the fact that antidepressants poop out on you indicates that these type of meds may be the way to go. Check out psycheducation.org for more info if you're interested. It explains about all the different mood stabilisers and the soft signs that mood stabilisers may be the way to go medication-wise.
Other than that
I know how hard it is to be depressed and trying meds and therapies and being dumped by therapists who get frustrated they can't help and make it all the client's fault *sigh* I second taking your post to your next session and trying to work through this, but also think about the meds thing if you haven't tried mood stabilisers before (without antidepressants).
All the best,
