Have you called your therapist and told her how bad you are feeling and depressed? If you have and the therapist is not helping then definitely change. But if you haven't told the therapist everything that is going on then definitely do that ASAP.
I can't stress enough how much you need to get showered/bathed and dressed. I went through a stage like this and called in sick from work, etc. I had to force myself no matter how tired to get up and get dressed b/c laying around in my PJs just made me lethargic. Even if you just shower/bath and get in a pair of fresh PJs you'll feel better.
I think you should definitely talk to a professional about this but I think alot of it is the Fibro. Nobody understands how tired and achey the fibro makes you feel unless they have Fibro too. And my Mom kept telling me before my diagnosis that I was just depressed and needed to see a therapist. Well as you know it turned out not to be just depression but Fibro which can make you feel depressed and anxious about the things that you can no longer do w/o pain and fatigue. I ended up not needing a therapist b/c my meds helped me to feel better for most days. But your Fibro seems to be worse than mine so you made need to see a therapist.
I don't mean to ramble but I know it is frustrating when people tell you that you are just depressed and that it is not the Fibro. And equally as frustrating to be told it is just the Fibro and not depression so you can make yourself get up and get going. I think for you it is a combination and you need to listen to your body and discuss different medicine options w/ your doc and also discuss your feelings w/ a sympathetic therapist. Until then vent to us and hubby.
And think long and hard about puppy if you can afford him and if you will be able to take care of him. If your plan backfires and he doesn't make you feel better will you still be able to take care of him. My puppy was therapeutic for me but everyone is different.
Keep thinking positive and I will keep you in my prayers. {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} Christie
