Feeling low

Hi, I'm not sure what's going on with me. I had my lumpectomy and lymph node removal on 21st October,  all clear and waiting on radiotherapy and meds. I should be happy, but I regularly feel so low and depressed, can't stop crying and no energy. I'm still signed off work, but I try and keep busy. I'll be full of energy one day, then I fall apart again the following day. I had to stop hrt before my surgery, so I don't know if that's why I'm feeling so bad. I've been on 10mg citalopram for many years, so antidepressants are already in my system. I'm dreading having the radiotherapy and letrozole as if I feel this bad already, how on earth will i cope with the side effects. Please someone, tell me I'm not alone in this.
