Have you considered moving to a big city, even if it’s not in the US, which I know is your preference? It won’t fix all your problems but having more opportunities professionally and romantically might change your outlook somewhat. You’re in the prime years to catch all the people exiting their first marriage, but not if you’re in a town with a dozen people in it.

I also fall into patterns of depression even though I’m married and doing fine professionally. I know someone here said that therapy is a very “American answer” but the fact is that for most of us the depression comes first and the reasons come later. You very well could get everything you want and be worse off because now you have no answer for why you feel the way you do. At least now you have some goals to work towards.
