Depression...it's a crazy thing. It often comes in sort of waves, where you'll be down for a long time, then feel great for a while, sometimes even months to years. People often think they are cured, but it almost always comes back in some form or another. As people have said, exercise has been proven to be rather effective in treating depression, so if you're not working out 3-5 times a week for at least 30 min, I'd reccomend starting.
There is a certain stigma associated with depression meds and people are emberassed, so I think it's very big of you to come out and admit it even in an anonomyous forum. I understand your reluctance to begin retaking the med, both from the stigma and the unwanted side effects, but sometimes, there is just no other choice. It will very likely help you feel better. If it doesn't find yourself a doctor and get switched to another one. Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft are all very god meds, and two (Prozac and Paxil) have generics available which are good if you are on a tight budget.
As for the job, stick with it my friend and don't settle for something you don't want. Sooner or later you will find a job that suits you. Also, if you don't mind me asking, I was just curious as to what country you had come from?
