And now RS will be home in about 45-60 minutes and I will not harm myself while he is here so it is a win!
Ugh. Hope my pdoc has some sort of solution.

So sorry you are struggling with all this. Back in my massive depression days, I found Cymbalta pretty darn useful when almost nothing else worked. The only 2 ADs that have ever done a thing for me are that and Wellbutrin. Emsam did nothing except drain my account of cash. Lithium has helped my depression a ton over the years and I also think Depakote at 1500 has been useful.
Aerobic exercise is probably very helpful for me, too. Maybe as important as medication, possibly. Just a few random thoughts.
Have you explored ketamine? It does work for some people. I found a relative of it to be very helpful but it had very dangerous side effects, sadly.
