Dexter, are you sure it isn't the depression making you see your co-workers in such a dark light? The reason I ask is because I felt almost exactly like you about friends and family when my depression had a hold on me. Once that was leveled off by the meds, people didn't seem so bad to me.

But hey... if the prospect of doing the newsletter this month causes you so much anxiety, then don't do it. Email your boss and tell him it was too short a notice, but that you'd like to do it next month. It does sound thoughtless of him to just drop it on you all of a sudden since you and he hadn't been in communication up until now.

The friend that was supposed to give you your things? Have you told him straight out without pulling any punches how important those things are to you? Maybe he doesn't realize it.

I'd say do what is best for you and don't worry about them but give the meds some time. Waiting is such a pain sometimes, isn't it?
