I haven't read all the answers to your post, so I'm sorry if this might be redundant. I was wondering if you've tried meds. An episode of major depression shouldn't last as long as you describe. I can relate to your description, but when I get like that, my pdoc ups the meds or changes them. Also, I am trying in therapy to learn to restructure the nature of my relationships so they're not so one way where I'm always the giver and expect nothing. Have you read "Feeling Good?" That's a good cognitive therapy book, and it does have a lot of helpful things in it as does the Richard O'Connor book Undoing Depression. It's the duration of what you're describing that's of concern to me. Because even with no help, episodes are supposed to reach a point of remisssion. Are you/have you sought help? Meds, therapy, books, exercise, etc? They all really do help.
