I hear you Jean.
Just recently come off Effexor-XR and am still feeling a little emotionally ragged. Actually went on to the 'E' after a nasty reaction to Zoloft so wish you good luck.
Funnily enough I had to give up project work because re-engineering good people out of jobs in the company interest (read bottom-line) just didn't work for me. Luckily I have bosses that understood that and that also understand the challenges my depression poses generally. Guess I'm also lucky that I've somehow survived a number of downsizings in the time I've been here. But just like you I went into emotional freefall for a while after all of them.
If there's one thing I'm slowly learning it's not to load up every event with extra meanings and importance based on other things that have happened (been doing it most of my 40 years). It's easier said than done and I still suck at it a large percentage of the time, but at least I'm trying.
Hang in there okay, I'll be thinking of you.
