Feeling Depressed After Weeks of Anxiety-Free Life

Been almost 4 weeks anxiety free but last two days feel like a depressed mood coming in. Literally feels like those commercials where the dark cloud comes over you. I think maybe I’ve been enjoying my anxiety- “free” ness too much? Been drinking a good bit more just enjoying feeling well again but I’ve heard drinking can decrease effectiveness of antidepressants. Anyone who can relate?

I have anxiety and depression and i’ve found that sometimes they can be balanced, and other time one completely over powers the other. Sometimes the waves just come at different times. While it could be the alcohol as well (I personally get more anxious following drinking) it could also just be the chemicals in your brain or your environment. Try to stay active and try positive affirmations, they help me a ton!
