a rough patch?

21h57filed under [ depression health problems ]This blog was supposed to be a way for me to talk about my life in France. It still is, but I feel like it's also a place for me to "talk about my feelings" (sorry for the cliche!) and get some feedback.
I haven't been feeling like myself for a couple of months, and it's progressively gotten worse over the last month or so. Rationally, I know that everything is fine: I have a job, I have an apartment, I have a wonderful significant other (who will be coming back to the region, thus ending two years of long distance), and I have amazing friends and family.
But for some reason, I have this feeling of dread that sits in my stomach from the moment I wake up in the morning until I *finally* fall asleep at night. I've been dealing with a number of stressful things, most of which I could've handled without a problem on their own. When I think about everything, however, life seems overwhelming and I just want to hide in bed for the next year or so.
I have little to no motivation to get things done, and even when I *want* to do something, I have no energy. I'm constantly tired, and yet I can't fall asleep when I'm lying in bed. I can't remember the last time I woke up feeling refreshed. I'm stressed out and anxious all the time, about everything. I feel like I have no control over many of the things going on m
The questions I keep asking myself: Is this just a rough patch? Do I have a more serious problem here? I'm going to see the doctor/acupuncturist on Friday (it'll be our third appointment) and I plan on talking to her about all of this, but I thought I'd throw it out there to see what you have to say.
