Part of a complex PTSD, watch to see if you are giving up on yourself. I have also heard the term reactionary depression. Something happens to trigger you then you give up on yourself because you feel you cannot cope.
Thirty shades - thanks for the link. It was eye opening for me and described me down to a T (I do flight and freeze). I’m going to research this further and bring it up in therapy.

Deilla - I’m glad you started feeling better.
