(Disclaimer: Please take what I saw with a grain of salt - I'm just a stranger on the internet, not a doctor. No disrespect intended to you or anyone.) Have you checked if you might have other possible conditions? I too "thought" I was mildly depressed for several years (I'm in my early 20s now). Turned out to be (undiagnosed) ADHD that held me back from working "properly" (due to procrastination/planning issues) while making me ambitious, hence making me sad/disappointed/frustrated. (I hope to get a formal dx soon, apparently medication can help a very decent bit)

There is a lot of overlap between the two, but I have more depression symptoms than ADHD ones. The latter doesn’t seem likely to me nor who diagnosed me

  If it doesn't seem likely to you that's likely fine. I forgot to mention, in my case I was diagnosed as depressed by the psychiatrist (wrongly ofc).

    The biggest tell for me is the psychomotor retardation: general slowness of movement and extreme heaviness feeling
