It has been my experience that negative and counter-productive (irrational) thinking significantly increase in relationship to my dose of Effexor. If I miss a dose (or am really late taking it), the irrational thinking sets it. It doesn't seem irrational to me at the time but when I step outside of myself, I can see that it really is. Stick with your plan. Keep seeing your T and keep taking your meds. Ride the mental crisis out. These things seem so HUGE when we are in the midst of them, but somehow we manage to ride it out (often with the help of family, friends and drs). Once you have tamed your demons (and they aren't always easily tamed), hopefully you will find that you can be yourself in a relationship, rather than who you perceive he wants you to be.
