I was going to suggest this too. I felt pretty close to where you are at one time and had the Fibro dx. I tell you I hate that dx because it makes it easy for doctors to blame everything that happens on it. I was so depressed, so sore and achy, fatigued did not begine to explain how tired, and so many little physical things.... After a few years of trying to find answers, it turned out my thyroid had bottomed out. The first test they did was only mildly low so no one tested again for years. By the time they did it was obvious what my problem was. Once I was on full replacement thyroid meds it made a world of difference. Most depression is just that, but there is a pretty good sized percentage that is the result of an underlying physical condition. Just be sure they have checked everything well.
I wish you well whatever the cause may be. Sounds like you have done a lot of self talk. The answers are in your post. But I know it takes a lot of reinforcement. I will keep you in my prayers.
