Even I've felt that way sometimes, and I ought to know better! It is very hard on the people around you, especially your loved ones, which is of course a massive source of guilt for the depressed person.
One of the best things Jon ever did for me was insist I get a new shrink. I was a mess and my shrink at the time wasn't helping - the new guy turned out to be brilliant. I couldn't have rallied my own resources to get a new referral at that point, so I needed a friendly boot up the bum. :-)
