It really seems to me that perhaps the primary issue is
emotional. You mention in the OP that you suffer from
major depression. I think it's in the Raw Nutritional Science
DVDs that Roz states that some people, for emotional
reasons, are just not able to go directly to 811rv and
maintain, and are in fact guaranteed to fail in that attempt.
These people must gradually transition while gradually
learning to deal with their emotions, as 811rv does not numb
emotions at all.

In the 80-10-10 book and elsewhere is the advice to try to
feel/experience your emotions as deeply as possible and in
this way the emotions will in fact subside & "move on", so to
speak. It's also advised to start slowly & gain practice at this
technique with "lesser" negative emotions, rather than trying
with the strongest emotions first. For many people,
meditation techniques can help one learn to accept
emotions, whatever they may be, rather than fighting them
or avoiding them.

Strong emotions do have a physical effect, such as the way
that feeling stressed out will sap B12 supplies, and can
create a situation where supplementation is helpful
temporarily. The long-term solution is to eliminate as much
stress as possible and learn how to deal with the stress that
remains.

Steve, it sounds like you understand the 811rv dietary
advice, so maybe check out the list in 80-10-10 of the 32
Fundamental Elements of Health and find your non-dietary
weakest links. It seems likely that it's the emotional aspects
that are bringing you down, but know that working on the
other elements will also help your emotional state. Good
luck with all this.
