Transcendence of Emotions through Stoicism

Coming from a highly neurotic and victim- mentality is it possible to integrate such a rational perspective? Any people that can share their journeys would be appreciated! My mind seems to automatically filter events out of my control as important, while lacking the determination to switch the levers within my control. Aka I am a perpetual victim of depression. I've taken medication for this, attended therapy, followed spirtual leaders for around 6 years now. I've accepted that I choose my current state. Perhaps this will be my state forever, I wonder though if there is still a way out.
