I don't know whether I can be of any help. I have been depressed (or worse) for many many years. Decades. All I can say is that sometimes we fall in love with our misery. Every time we believe we can be free, somehow we jump back into the cesspool, the darkness, the discomfort all the more.
I'm not sure about citalopram. Drugs never really helped me. They just made me feel stupid. I'm not a pretty man. I'm not a giant. I'm not the guy that others stand on to be great. I'm just here. All I have are my wits, and having them dulled made me feel worse than miserable. So I stopped taking them.
Don't fall in love, or in hate, with your depression. You aren't powerless. Think on this: at least you aren't where I am. I am numb and emotionless. Better to be sad, angry, angsty, furious, hateful, lonely. Better to feel anything at all. Hold onto that. Right now you are looking up out of the well. Don't stop.
