Frodo, and anyone else struggling with depression, may I suggest a really awesome place to go and discuss your issues and get help from people who've been there:

Depression Forums

It's a great place, full of supportive people. There are forums for people having crises, for misc. depression issues, for various meds, for some of the more common depressive illnesses, and other things. I highly recommend this place -- come as a guest and check it out; you might end up staying!
