Hey T, Sorry to hear you are in a dark place. Definitely call your PCP, the steroids are probably not helping things. From one who has been there... reach out to your old boss,as getting advice from someone you trust is a good place to begin; one of the things that helped me when I as at my worse a few months back was talking with a friend of mine who is a therapist and getting his opinion on my depression and his take on meds and therapy. I have been on Wellbutrin and talk therapy for a few months now and I am doing well, the Wellbutrin hasn't left me feeling "medicated" or messed with my empathy, it just makes the downs not so far down, and the therapy helps me because it's one place where I can talk it all out (something I need) without fear of judgment or that I am being a bother.
