Eve, I would have, not that long ago, told you to stick with it, and things would start to look better.
Now, if you have been diagnosed as clinically depressed, and they think that medications could help you out, I would recommend it very strongly. My brother was diagnosed with clinical depression. Looking back, it is obvious that this has been something he has been struggling with for some time. Medication is helping, but it takes a long time (up to six months) to stabilize you biochemistry, and find the correct dosages/combination.
I would also recommend counsellings, if you can get it, for the depression. Until the medications taker hold, there likely will be bad days, along with the good. My personal feelings on the matter have changed somewhat, but I still believe part of it is up to you, and talking it though with a professional, or close friends likely will help. Heartbreak itself is one thing that just takes time, try to get out an enjoy yourself. Don't skip doing things that you enjoy, but used to do with your ex, do them anyhow, and remember why you enjoyed doing them before he/she came along!
