I got put on steroids for inflammation, and my mild depression went to moderate. [emoji20]

I had some things happen at work that stressed me out and left me questioning my adequacy and value. I left work today with really negative thoughts including self-loathing. I also keep obsessing about a mistake I made, that wasn’t a huge deal but was enough to make me feel like an idiot. [emoji31]

I called the pharmacist, and he said I could stop the steroids since my depression was getting worse.

If you were me, would you wait for the steroids to get out of your system and moods to stabilize and then see pdoc around mid-July? Or would you call tomorrow and see if you can be seen sooner, since I’ve had depression for a while already?
