Hey Don,
Its an ugly feeling isnt it, I also was fighting it daily the overwhelming feeling of there being no hope ! Then I went on Citalopram 20mg for almost a year at first there were side effects but I started feeling good again like things were gonna get better.
There are other options depending on how bad the depression is like Coginitive Behaviour Therapy I couldnt get by on just alone however there are some great thinking strageries. Good luck in your journey my friend! Remember you will find a balance hang in there keep positive

Hi Don
A bad night's sleep has a knock on effect on your mood and if you remember the mornings your mood can be at its lowest...
You cannot go out at the minute and your beating yourself up. Isolation is part of depression and wanting to hide away from the world. Its not forever and with small steps the joy of life will return..
You are not a failure your going through a very difficult time at the minute and all the symptoms you are going through are part of it. You know deep down this is not who you are and not what your about.. You have just lost the real you ate the minute..
