Welcome Carol

I am sorry you are having such a rough go of things.

Are you taking medications to treat the depression?
Do you have a psych doc?
If you are taking medications for the depression have you discussed with your doc that they are not working so you can try a different one or combo of meds?

Starting back using again will not solve the problem. It is a short term solution to the problem. Working with a good doctor is the only way to find long term relief. Think about why you quit using in the first place. Obviously the drugs were a problem so to add them back into the mix would just add a problem on top of a problem. Please consider working with your doc instead.,
