I don't see how helpful it is for a psychiatrist to say "yes you can do it" when you obviously are struggling so much. I also agree that depersonalization can result from anxiety. It can also be a schizoid trait (does anyone in your close family have schizophrenia?). Onset can be influenced in times of high stress.
Have you sought a second opinion with another doctor? You didn't say much about how you feel about your relationship with your PDoc; I sense a flattened effect in your writing in addition to your description of how life has been for you.
Did you try Effexor? That one can be difficult to get used to, and difficult to taper off, but that would be my initial suggestion.
You sound like a sweetie. I'm really sorry you're feeling so down. :(
