Can't stand being anxious and depressed again!

Hi i had a bad bout of depression earlier this year so 4 months down the line and i felt good, have enjoyed work, had a few nights out with friends and felt happy again. amazing to feel like me again. so off work for Christmas break few days in and I'm anxious again. i just don't understand it. Have kept busy, seen family and friends. Today i'v felt a bit depressed. i terrified my life will fall apart again. I have not said to anyone yet as I hope it passes and I settle again.
My depression was kind of put down to menopause and this last couple of weeks I have had bad hot flushes again. It may be hormones but I am 57 and thought it would have settled by now.
Depression is the worst thing ever😔
Sorry I just had to get that all out my head.

Bless you I honestly think its alcohol and coming out of your routine as I've been exactly the same. It's not a nice feeling at all. I'm going to start a little bit of exercise in a morning and re start my journaling as I honestly think instead of worrying it's better to try and do something different to help.
I'm not sleeping great always waking up at 4am for what feels like ages. How is your sleep? any tips to manage this would be great thanks x

It may well be being out of my routine. I thought having some time to relax and do things I want would be good for me but thats not the case. Could well be extra alcohol too. I dont drink loads but defo more than normal. I sleep ok thankfully, hope it continues too. I listen to relaxation in youtube and talking books, helps distract me.
I have family coming today for a buffet so busy which I used to like as it meant I was kept occupied. Hubby is crabbit, he gets upset at a houseful and so that worries me.
I hope your sleep improves and thanks for your reply. It helps hearing from someone 💕
