Am I going crazy???

I'm now a little over 4 wks post-op Lap RNY, and feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm losing weight, eating right, and adjusting to that just fine. The problem??? I feel like I'm going crazy. I have always been on anti-depressants for depression (duh) and anxiety. I have barely left the house since surgery... can find no pleasure nor purpose in ANYTHING, and just want to curl up in bed and be left alone forever. I'm an ultrasound tech who travels for work, and have been submitted for several jobs. I usually get excited about going somewhere new, meeting people, seeing sights... this time if I could afford it I'd just stay home in bed. I went through this experience pretty much alone... I don't have a support system. I feel isolated from the world, and very depressed... yet feel unable to do anything to rectify the situation. Can any long-term people who've been there done that please respond? Is this normal? When will it end? I could use your insight!!!!!
