Hi Shanti
From what you have said here, I would look at your method of birth control first. Some of the side effects noted on many web sites including this one about the Depo shot is a change in libido and also depression.
I might ask your doctor for a different type of birth control if you are experiencing too many side effects with this one.
In the meantime...please feel free to join us on My Depression Connection. There are lots of people there who understand what you may be going through.
Please do talk to your doctor about what you are experiencing.
Thank you for reaching out here.
