But I just don't know what to do with myself as I am feeling worse and nobody is helping me.
I am not lazy and I tend to believe that depression fluctuates from having and bad days so I don't see this "recovery" I just feel the same everyday nothing changes, I keep active, I keep busy but nothing satisfies me.

I can understand the difficulty working or doing anything really during a depressive episode. I work one full-time job and one part-time job and when the depression starts, I have to cut back on hours and work. This does not make me the best employee, but I do enough to keep my job. When the episode ends, sometimes I can resume my work level but sometimes I am just not motivated either. Perhaps you should try to volunteer somewhere once a week. I am not sure what you like to do in your spare time, but I like playing with babies and reading, so if I had time to volunteer, I might volunteer once a week at a day care center or at the local library. These things don't require a lot of energy and I get out of the house and into the sunshine if only for 2 hours. Good luck!
