Worst Episode of My Life

[Dru21]

This is my first post in such a forum so forgive me if I run afoul of any norms.

I've struggled with depression all my life. I'm mid-40s and been on medication for 20 years. My current episode is now a year long. I've stopped working. I've lost interest in everything, including my wife and young kids. I dread waking up in the morning and just struggle to make it through each day. Sleep is my only respite.

I have seen many doctors and been on many medications. Also have tried EMDR, hypnosis and TMS (magnet therapy). Nothing seems to work and I feel more hopeless than ever. Wife is very supportive but even she is losing patience. Anybody out there been in my shoes?
