It is good to recognize depression. That is the first step to overcoming it.
I have heard that the end of the taper for Effexor is the hard part. But maybe you aren't experiencing withdrawal as much as you are getting to the point where you don't have enough AD in your system to do the job? Maybe you still need an antidepressant?
It is OK to need both meds and therapy. Most of us do. Prognosis is better with both. Your post almost makes me think that you don't feel like you have a right to be depressed. That isn't a particularly helpful thought...
I got a B on a school assignment last week. She was right in her grade. I missed the point. My response is to be angry that she is unable to teach us things before we get graded - she only seems to be able to explain things after we do them wrong. And I may get a B in this class. I guess I'm just seeing it as her problem - my bad luck, but her problem.
I wish you had cried in therapy. Therapy is a good place to cry. And whatever it is that makes you cry - that is OK. You don't have to wait for the "important" stuff. Who decides what is "important" anyway? Obviously losing the chance to interview is important. Why shouldn't it be?
I think you should have ice cream for breakfast.
Love,
Falls
