Hi ~ I'm sorry you're feeling like this again. BUT -- there are some of us that just HAVE to be on antidepressants. Unfortunately that's me. I've been depressed since childhood, that even tho I was in therapy for years, I still need antidepressants.  I don't know if you call that "clinical depression" or what. I think that's what it's called. 
There ARE AD's that DON'T make you gain alot of weight. Do some research online about it. Just put "prescription drugs" into your search engine or "antidepressants" in the search engine and see what comes up. Then you can research them and see which ones cause weight gain. Then talk to your doctor about it. But it sounds like you need to be on an AD again. Remember that it takes generally 3-6 weeks for them to take effect!  I've been on Prozac and that did NOT make me gain weight. I'm now on Cymbalta and that didn't make me gain either. But it could be different for each person.
I wish you the very best. Again, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad -- I truly understand! God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
