I guess the quality of everyone's depressive phase is hard to define. I know you work now, so although you're in a depressed mood, it sounds like you're high functioning. Just a guess/observation. I'm self-employed and have a low caseload as an attorney right now. There's no way I could be employed full time by a law firm right now. Maybe part time doing something else if our financial situation required it.
I really hope you'll find a med soon that helps you get out of the phase. The suffering and angst of being in a depression is hard in a way that someone who's never been in a clinical depression would never understand.
