It's about dying and falling apart into nature.

>Have you considered it’s both and perhaps my depression is at least in part because of my work?
Yes, the connection between your job and your depression has crossed my mind. However, we were not really talking about the causes of your depression, but about the question of whether a writer can write interesting stories about working (for example) in a supermarket. I have taken the position that interesting stories can be written about it. One of my favorite authors (Robert Walser) spend his life writing about office scribblers and similar creatures. These stories are among my most cherished reading experiences. I don't question that depression can stifle creativity. And it's clear that not everyone can write about every topic. Whether or not it's a topic for you remains unresolved until you shake off your depression and look at the world with a little brighter eyes again.
