I removed some posts, under rule 4, that were better dealt with via PM rather than on this thread.

Welcome to SR Linda - Congratulations on your sober time
I think a lot of us find we're depressed when we finally stop drinking..for some that gets better very quickly...
or others it becomes apparent the depression was always there (or at least there a long time) and the drink was probably masking it.
No one should ever get sober to remain unhappy, in my opinion
I found I needed to deal with both my alcoholism and my depression.
A good counsellor helped me.
I think for you going back to your Dr would be a great initial step
This community helped me a lot too with advice support and encouragement - it's great you've joined us
