You're going to counseling and that's a positive step in the right direction, as exploring causes for the depression and learning new and better ways to cope will help you infinitely more --in the long run-- than meds. BUT it does take time. Your depression did not happen overnight, and sadly nor is it likely to disappear overnight Often times, it takes several trials of meds to find the right dosage and/or combination for you and that can take a bit of time.
Be gentle and patient with yourself.
Do something good for YOU every day.
Ask your therapist for extra sessions if s/he provides them.
Force yourself to get out and see and focus on other people.
