No, don't have much advice -- sounds like you need someone on your side, like a friend who knows you, who you can vent to, and use as a sounding board to bounce ideas off. Maybe trying something new, read the paper for ideas on less stressful jobs, maybe go to one of those temp-agencies and do some temp work while you are searching for new career opportunities. They don't expect you to do perfect work as a temp; just someone willing to 'try' till the regular person gets back.
I like volunteering for trash pick-up, filling food bank boxes for the poor and elderly shut-ins or help them do inventory, anything I can do on my own, but still feel as if I'm helping the community in some way. These kinds of things will get you 'out there' and maybe you'll bump into someone along the way willing to help you. Indirect roads to finding a way around in the world can feel almost like fate -- but fate can't find you if you sit in the only place you can't bump into it (at home). I don't really believe in fate, but it can put a little whimsy in your day if you pretend to believe.
You need to be in the world to find your way around. It won't come to you at home. We deal with symptoms of the illness, and depression can be a huge hurtle. B-complex vitamin might give you an initial boost ... not all the way, but can shove you out the door. There are herbal 'thing' in alternative medicine that can also assist; and getting your blood flowing, don't stay sedentary. A brisk walk (after taking the other stuff I mentioned) can add to their effect.
You'll need to utilize other tools once you are in the concrete jungle. It sounds harsh to say take control of your life -- it is harsh, and I'd be upset at anyone who told me that. But no one can know or understand how hard I work to stay functioning -- and maybe they shouldn't. My life is my life, and if I can't find help I have to find a piece of me that is healthy and get that piece to grow large enough to help myself. There was a long stretch where I did have "help" but it was the wrong kind. There were some benefits, but sometimes it just made it worse. I would choose nothing over wrong help any day.
I could explain about the personality type test, but I think I've posted enough in several places to easily find in the search box. This may not be important for those who are in the middle of the extrovert/introvert scale -- most therapists use tools for the middle people. They don't think to check first where you are before they start. It was only my last inpatient stay as a kid that they gave me the long version of the test.
There are free ones online, but they are shortened -- they can give you a general idea and is a good place to start. The online versions are not accurate to a T, but you can read them and decide; or go to a career counseling center and ask to take the long version. Taking that type test was the start of really figuring out, not only theraputic needs, but also things that would best suit me for career, living environment, how to best interact with others, and other 'life' things that I wouldn't have thought of before.
