Hello saltyd and welcome.
It's not out of the ordinary,for people with depression to feel different around others.Their ability to do what may be difficult for the person affected may make a person feel rather miserable.
Have you seen a therapist previously?
I mean no offense,as therapeutic intervention can work wonders,under the right situations.
Re: kind of sad and lonely, not sure if its my depression or...
Sharing one's feelings with a complete stranger;if put in that context,it could be a tad difficult going forward.
Viewing the therapist as a person trained to help and heal puts a person in a better mindset,thus creating a idea environment to express one's inner thoughts.
How long were you on the medication?
Some take weeks before they take effect.
Please keep in mind that there are several different antidepressants on the market.

Saltyd, you need to talk to your doctor right away. From what you have posted, you are depressed and if left untreated, your quality of life is going to suffer where depression will continue to get worse. We are lucky that there are so many types of medicine for depression and anxiety that if one doesn’t work for us, we can always try something else, including combining two or more to enhance their properties. Please, please seek help so you can begin to get better. Talk to your doctor about prescribing benzos for when depression is worst and SSRI’s so you can be yourself again. The benzos should not be taken long term but are quick acting and can get you out of that dark hole that depression is. I understand that being in bed makes you feel secure and protected but you don’t want to miss out on life. We only have one and you need to help yourself so you can get the best out of it.
