Okay, I'll bite. I want you to know that what I'm saying I'm saying with love, as a bipolar technical co founder several times over. I find that people with mood disorders tend to either be very bad or very good at startups, depending on whether or not they have learned to manage their diseases. It sounds like you jumped in without learning to manage your depression first. It should be pretty obvious to you by now that a startup exacerbates the highs and the lows. What might not be obvious is that once you learn to deal with your depression, those same skills will transfer over to weathering the emotional roller coaster ride that comes with the territory of building and scaling a company. You have to fix your depression before you can expect anything to get better. Focus on that, first. A doctor would help, but isn't the only possibility. There are other options, from counselors to breakthrough.com to a copy of I'm O.K., You're O.K. and a good friend to talk to. And there are many things you can do for yourself, like exercise, take Omega 3's, keep a journal, and practice some form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hopefully with a professional, but if all else fails, you would be surprised how far you can get just winging it with someone who cares about you. I hope you feel better, soon. But don't be surprised or discouraged if it takes a while. Maybe this startup works out, maybe it doesn't. But if you do decide to "give up", at least don't give up from a depressed frame of mind. You'll regret it, trust me.
