In All Honesty, it sounds like both your attitude and your depression are a problem that feed each other. It seems that your attitude is because your depressed and your depressed because of your attitude. This may sound stereotypical but it seems to be a common trait among female teachers. I say this because one of my good friend's mother is a teacher who became over stressed from I believe school and teaching. She eventually saw a psychiatrist and was advised that she should take a year of from teaching cause of her stress.
So Do You think that you might just be over-stressed?
You say you were teaching, and that your going for a PhD, plus your relationship issues (long distance, etc.)
Maybe you should try to find sometime to do something you like to do, away from the world, like a trip or a break just to relax, It seems to have helped my friend's mother, I mean she was a wreck, but it seems that she is alot better.
