Feeling Useless

A year ago I absolutely loved my job. Then we re-orged and I was moved to a new position. All the favorite things I did were taken away (managing teams, interacting with candidates), but there was a promise of a promotion so I hung in there. One year later, no promotion, no team to manage, and virtually nothing to do. I'm sitting on my computer 7 of 8 hours a day, and I'm so fucking depressed all I want to do is cry. Already on medication for anxiety/depression. Looking for a new role, but my company has “golden handcuffs”. Hard to beat their pay and benefits. I've talked to my manager multiple times, and no resolution. She keeps telling me to “hang in there, things will change in a few months.” I hate going to work now.
