Feeling depressed and isolated

Hi everyone :) I have been diagnosed with arthritis and wait now to start my treatment (which I should start at the end of the month). In the meantime, for the las 2-3 months I have been taking prednisone. First 15 mg and then gradually down to 5 mg. Although the dosis now is really small, I have the feeling that it is taking a toll on my mental health, can’t be?. From all, feeling irritable and depressed are the most present side effects. To be honest, I am struggling with dealing with this since currently in my life there has been a lot in my plate lately. Furthermore, I feel sorry for not to being available for my partner (we live together) and at the same time I don’t want that the only topic between us is this thing with the side effects. I also don’t feel like talking to anyone else about it because I don’t feel quite understood. Anyway, I guess I just want it to vent and feel that I am not alone in this. Thank you for reading and hope you are feeling good today ☀️
