I have also found that interaction with good friends is one of the most effective anti-depressants. Have you lost contact again?
None of us are at our best when depressed. It's not your fault. I can't say whether it's time to try meds again, but it might be if the depression continues.

I am by no means an expert, but meaningful interaction with people seems to be a key. If you like art, perhaps go to a museum (just an example) and talk to folks you don't know well about art...whatever things that are important to you, seek out others with similar interest. Message boards are OK for this too, but in-person is always the best. I think getting out of the house/apartment to a park for a walk with somebody helps, too. Physical excercise can boost your endorphins. Either way, sitting at home too much can certainly be depressing.

I think that's good advice. Try and find a way to apply it to yourself and what's in your acceptable zone... note, I didn't say comfort zone.
You don't need a gaggle of friends to go out with. I have only one friend in real life and I only see him about once every other week. Do your best to find someone who you can share at least some interest with. Even more important than that is someone who's personality you can jive with. If two people get along good they will tend to find common interests that they can build a relationship on.
Short of that if things get to bad don't hesitate to make a trip to the doc for medication. There's nothing wrong with being medicated, if I weren't I would be impossible to be around.
