I don't know if this would be as effective for your depression as it is for my chronic pain, but you might want to try.
You described your as a creeping monster and again as a black cloud. You can use that perception to your benefit.
If you can give your symptoms a different form or flavor you can find one that is not quite so difficult to tolerate, even if just for today. And even if you are unable to affect the intensity of the symptom, any change you make can help.
Just knowing you have some control can be a tremendous relief in itself.
