I am asking because I've been going to therapy since October following a nervous breakdown. It's going very well, but outside of therapy I've struggled in stabilizing (it's taken a long time to recover).

I would say my biggest struggles are panic/anxiety from all the stress.

Given that therapy is going well, I'm worried that an antidepressant will somehow mess with my emotions, and it won't be the same. It's really important to me to emotionally process things the same way -- particularly since my root issues are emotional repression.

I also worry that if I have a darker emotion I need to experience (like anger or resentment), the antidepressant will hide that.
