I,too, have been following your posts for years, although you've been more absent than present for awhile.
It is hard to know what to say, I guess because those of us who have been where you are, know how inadequate words are and how hollow messages of hope sound. I think you need to try to grab onto memories of times when you didn't feel so much despair. I sort of operate on the theory that if I felt good in the past, I can maybe feel good again - depressive feelings are so insidious because they rarely persist, but generally seem so permanent.
i know things seem overwelming and you don't think you have the energy to work yourself out of this state. Lots of us have felt that way, but sometimes things do change - with us or with our circumstances, and what seems like so much effort, just sort of evolves.
Please do hold on.
