I do not doubt you have been a strong person and may eventually return to a confident stability. Depression, however, can have cumulative effects over time. It can erode our basic resilience such that it takes less and less stress to push us back into a depressive episode.
Perhaps "just functioning" is what you currently need to recover. Now is the time to minimize stresses and "insults" to your system.
You have been on hormones and are seeking to restart them, yes? It is possible there may be a complex relationship between the hormones -- starting and/or stopping them -- and your depression. A pharmacologist or a psychopharmacologist might be able to counsel you on that issue.
Again, welcome, and please keep posting.
