Depression, burnout, peri or nothing wrong?!

I can't quite work out what's going on with me. The online depression tests suggest I 'might' be depressed.

Over the past five years I've dealt with a traumatic divorce, sudden bereavement and most recently, redundancy and perimenopause.

I do have the motivation to do things like apply for jobs and a side hustle but when it comes to socialising with my wider family or friends, a lot of the time I just can't be bothered. I don't look forward to it but if someone said I could stay home, watch TV or read all day I'd love it (although I am also an introvert so I've always enjoyed this).

I'm on HRT but don't know if that might be contributing. Also had counselling a couple of times during the various life challenges.

I suspect it is burnout after the past few years but just not sure on a way forward really. Do I keep having (NHS counselling), do I just need to let it pass?

Any advice welcome...
