Hi @Aalice,
Sorry that you are going through a rough patch in your recovery. As the ladies above have said though, everyone is different, so please don't put extra pressure on yourself!!
In regards to medication, I was on Tamoxifen for almost 5 uears, and in my third year, my husband was hospitalized with major depression. Imanaged to hold it together at the time, but found i was struggling a little while after so was given a low dose of Lexapro, an antidepressant, and for me it was a godsend! Within a few weeks, i felt much more together again and could cope with what life continued to throw at me.
Give the tablets a go, and see how you feel, but most of all, be kind to yourself!!
Best wishes, Michele xx
