Did you ever look into disability? I truly feel that saved my life. Money problems can depress anyone, and those of us who have depressive episodes, well it just makes it so much worse. I feel so strongly about paying into the system (social security) and being able to use it when you need to. I think that's probably where you are now- if so, let me know if you want help on how to apply, etc. Since you have an extensive history of depression it shouldn't take that long (2-3 months?) and you do get that lump sum check for me it was a year's payment.
Now I don't recommend this for everyone, but as a stop-gap measure I have used credit cards to buy time- is that something you can do until you get disability (if that's what you decide?) You can always pay back what you've used with the lump sum check.
I wish I could write something that helps you, but please know you are in my thoughts and I hope you feel better soon.
take care, judy
