Give the new meds 4 to 6 weeks to work and for any side effects, like getting sleepy, to wear off. I started on new meds about 2 months ago, like you I hit a major depressive episode AGAIN. It always take me 4 - 6 weeks for the meds to take their full effect and for the worst of the side effects to pass. You can do it, just hang on and take it one day at a time.
There's no law that says you have to walk around being happy for everyone else. If you feel sad or like crying, go ahead. If you had diabetes you wouldn't feel you had to pretend you didn't have it, would you? We should all stop beating our selves up because we have depression, it's not our fault. We certainly would get rid of it if we could, right?
