I'm sorry that you're feeling depressed. Have you thought about taking any proactive steps while you wait to see a doctor? I just started "The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Depression" by William J. Knaus. I find it helpful in terms of changing my thinking to change my behaviors.

I don't have any advice, per se, but to say "just keep it in the day." Don't use or pick up just for today. And try to do something nice for yourself today--even if that's something as simple as buying an ice cream cone for yourself. Find comfort in the little things, and maybe write a gratitude list. Surely there are things in your life that you have to be thankful for--mainly your continued sobriety and the fact that you have the courage to post here and reach out for help.

Best to you. Remember, this, too, shall pass.

P.S. Love "****** Village." We had one of those at my undergrad school, too! Totally NOT helpful staff there!
