This might sound crazy, but have you thought of a total life change or something? Maybe just being in a different environment would help.
It sounds to me like you have the perfect life if it weren't for the depression. My life is a mess. I'll be 30 in about a month and I still live with my parents and make a minimum wage. But, guess what? I'm happy!
I think the thing that helped me most was finding my crappy minimum wage job. I was a student before and wasn't working, but even though my job sucks (doing surveys over the phone with people), just having this job makes me feel good about myself. I feel like I'm being productive. I have friends there now. I get to socialize now.
Maybe you could do something productive, like volunteer or something if you don't need the money. Just knowing that others depend on me changes my perspective. Maybe try helping other people. I think depression is a very selfish illness. Maybe focusing on other people will help!
I would recommend helping other people who are less fortunate. Then you can truly appreciate how great your life is.
