g_unit, if you are spending a month in bed, that is effing depression no matter what your psychologist says.
Last summer, I hardly left the house because of my anxiety & agoraphobia & fear of driving. Fortunately for me once I began taking meds I started to get better. Sounds to me like you still need to find the right medication -- then, added to all those things you're already doing, you can start to climb out of the hole.
Also, thinking about what you've said here, I still wonder whether you might respond to stims. Our symptoms are not the same since my problems begin, I think, on the anxiety side of the spectrum and move toward depression, while yours seem to go the other way. Still anxiety / depression can both be the result of ADHD or other learning difficulties.
