When you say mostly, I immediately wonder what it is he has suggested that you are not doing? If what you are doing is not working, and clearly it's not because you feel terrible about yourself, then you need to do something else.
Depression and eating disorders CAN be overcome. But the most critical thing to do is also the hardest: change your thinking. You say such terrible things about yourself - things I'm sure you would never say to another living person. Since you quoted the Bible, I'm going to cite Romans 10:17, So faith comes from hearing.... Both positive and negative things come from hearing, and what you're hearing is awful. That's the message you're sending yourself day in and day out, so it's no wonder you're depressed. It becomes a vicious circle.
You've said you have a therapist, but what kind of therapy are you doing? It sounds like either CBT or DBT would help you get over this hump. Both help with brain retraining, which IMO is essential to recovery.
