Sadhub there is a big difference between anxiety and depression. My thinking is until the situational aspects are resolved it won't be clear which is in play.
There is a seneed in which when we are in danger or something that requires grief happens then our bodies naturally becomes anxious or depressed.
This isn't a disorder it is supposed to be.
Let it be and let it unfold. A diagnosis of depression or anxiety is a label.
Let Saturday happen, of course you are going to be down or anxious about it.
On Monday reassess without the immediate anxiety or blues, seek medical assessment. Consider this may be situational, change your situation then your health will change. If the blues or anxiety is biological then medication may help and you will have to play your part by taking extreme care of you.
Sadhub, I have been there with this and there are many things you can do to improve your physical health and much to manage your mental health. That includes physician and medical as well as nutrition, exercise, prayer, IC and mindfulness. Each thing assists, I gave up alcohol, sugar, caffeine, lost weight, took action, went into daylight, took vitamin D. Attended IC, twelve steps. No single thing resolved my sitch although each one helped with resolution. Take action, go GAL, get to resolution point of your sitch.
Currently I am healing some of my childhood issues and losing weight both of which need some resolotion.
A plan is needed.
So medical help is just one part of the picture in my view.
