What's worse: endometriosis or depression?

I've had debilitating endometriosis for 6 years now. I have recently started birth control again and I plan on taking it continuously to stop my cycle. It's the only way the pain goes away.

Unfortunately, no matter what pill I try, I'm left with crippling depression. I haven't even left the house today because I'm so uncomfortable in my own skin that I can't stand to even exist. I hate this feeling. But the pain is worse. Isn't it? How do you decide between physical pain and mental pain? What kind of a life is that?
