But now I'm home again and feel the tears coming and the self-hate and loathing. Why am I so screwed up?

That's great news you saw your Dr and she was able to change up your meds some. That's pretty neat that you can talk to your therapist in between appts--a lot of T's, including mine, don't offer that--and the fact she liked this forum is a good sign as well. And you took time to hang out with your friend (which for me gets my mind off my crap). All AWESOME stuff!!
I understand the feeling-better-then-down-again. Many times. As your dr said, it may take awhile for your med changes to kick in. Meanwhile you have your therapist appt to look forward to, and that friend sounds amazing. I know it hurts right now, and it's hard to peer out past all of the negativity. But you've had a productive day, and YOU chose to participate in all of it. Give yourself a pat on the back.
