Get help now: Sadness is a natural response to loss and painful things. One grieves what is lost, and then reconstructs life in a new way. Depression, however, is an illness that can lead to suicidal thoughts. Thinking you "shouldn't be here" indicates you need prompt evaluation & help -- please see your physician asap. 1-800-273-8255 is also a national hotline that can connect you with local resources.

Methylprednisolone: Dr pappas' response is rich with important information. I just want to explore one issue - your methylprednisolone. Were you depressed before starting this med? This med can lead to depression, mood swings & even loss of touch with reality. It can exacerbate pre-existing mood disorders. You need professional help. Insure that you address your mood with the doctor prescribing your steroids.
