Is it withdrawal or is my depression coming back?

I've been tapering off desvenlafaxine for almost three months and then stopped taking it a few weeks ago as my doctor advised me to do, and overall I've been fine, I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms like brain zaps or nausea. However, I feel progressively more emotional and honestly very sad each day and it's getting more difficult to manage. Today I couldn't manage to do my day to day things and just laid in bed crying and trying to distract myself. I hate to say this but I feel a bit like how I used to feel before I started taking the meds a year ago, in the sense of having a million voices in my head telling me how I should be better. Fortunately I am not suicidal and I have a much more solid support system. I know I should tell this to my psychiatrist and my counsellor but I could use other people's advice if anyone has one
