This is a little tricky, so here goes nothing.
Well, first of all, dream recall can vary greatly, even if you are very advanced, you can have bad streaks of recall. I take it you've never had "good" recall, but it just comes easier to some people.
Secondly, maybe your depression plays a role here. If we're talking about something genetic, maybe it's naturally more difficult for you than it is for other people, but maybe I'm completely wrong. Just take it easy.
On to the actual advice. What kind of DJ are you using? I've found what works best for my recall is keeping a hand-written DJ, it's harder work than, say, a recorder, but for me having a physical DJ and being able to flick through it from time to time makes for great motivation.
Also, I dunno if you've considered taking supplements. Other people might give better advice on this because I haven't experimented much, I know that taking vitamin B6 is supposed to give you a boost in recall. Give it a shot. Other lucid dreaming supplements (such as galantamine, if I'm not mistaken) also produce more vivid dreams and therefore better recall. Of course, you can't use these as often as the vitaminic supplements, but they could give you a jump start. Talk to your doc before taking these, though.
Hope this was at least a little helpful.
Cheers
