Sorry you are struggling.  I can relate! 
This is but the smallest of tools, but try visiting http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp. It is basically categorizes your personality. Once you determine your personality type, you can Google various websites that pair up career paths with personalities. I had a professional assessment and it told me what I already knew...I was in the wrong profession (very stressful). I am now considering changing careers even though I’m no spring chicken. When choosing a new career path, I will consider job stress, my own personality as well as other variables which may impact my depression.
Being depressed certainly makes any job more difficult. I personally decided that my mental health is better off having a job. It’s not so much a need to be around others as wanting some kind of mental stimulation. Hope this helps. Best of luck with the job search!
