It doesn't matter I do, the ennui is always there.

It's your responsibility to go get treatment for your depression. 
Not ours.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn

I dont think it's depression. Plus I've had all the therapy I can afford and tried everything that's been professionally recommended.

I don't really know if I've ever experienced ennui (in any considerable sense, at least). I rarely get bored and always find something interesting to do. Even with no access to the Internet or books or TV, I will find a way to entertain my mind.

That’s me - I don’t get bored with things, I finish things and then move on to other things. As a performer, I did everything I wanted to do, then became a woodworker (primarily a luthier). I was done with that and now I’m a blacksmith. 

There’s no doubt in my mind that, at some point, I’ll have done all the blacksmithing I want to do and then find something else. Life is a process, not a goal.
