I can relate to a great of deal of what you are saying: I came down with a severe case of panic disorder - swiftly followed by major depression - when I was 21. I am now 35 (w/med induced sexual problems, single..) and my condition has never remitted.
I know it seems like a form of 'surrender', but maybe you should go on welfare for a while until you feel a bit better or find another job? Sorry if you find the suggestion offensive - it's not meant to be. Unfortunately I am well aware of what it means to underperform at work due to my illness and the pain it brings. Sounds like you need a bit of a break.
Before you consider bailing, let me say that your posts are intelligent and coherent, and someone like that has potential, even if it hasn't been realized...*yet*.
Best of luck.
