I suffer from depression too and need to lose the same as you. The thing is everyone thinks I am lazy. I really am sick. The meds help but because of the weight and meds I am exhausted all the time. I am overcoming it though. I was so sick at one point I couldn't even drive because I would fall asleep. Now I am doing so well, I went back to nursing school. Take time out for you everyday. Even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom for a bubble bath. You are worth it. Keep working with your doc. It is a long road out of depression but if you keep fighting it good days will come.
