First of all, I'm glad your depression is improving. It sounds like a well-deserved payoff for perservering through so many treatment plans. I hope it continues and improves for you. As for the self-blame, I try to check the judgment of myself against that of others. Would I judge another person in my shoes? The answer is no, I would feel compassion. So, I try (keyword: try) to show that same compassion toward myself.
I'm sure you've heard this mantra before, but you have to take care of yourself first before you can be of true benefit to anyone else.
