It's actually pretty common. Your worldview has likely changed as a result of your spiritual awakening. You may become more aware of the suffering of others around you. You may be able to notice inconsistencies in the way the world works, injustice might become highly important to you and you might go a little nuts at how little it seems other people care.
The change in perspective might alienate you from others. Which means you now have one less tool to combat the feelings of despair. From yourself and others.
If you've been on the manifestation bandwagon which has taught that in order to have a good life you need to hold positive vibes only, this may have caused you to separate from others in a way that made you callous and by virtue of that callousness, less open.
On the path you may also notice the edges of the existential crisis. Why don't things get better? Why do we feel stuck? Now that you know God or Divinity is real, how to tolerate the continuation of evil and suffering. Why can't you wave a magic wand and stop feeling it all?
The other aspect of depression and spiritual awakening includes the sense of being challenged by the Matrix itself. You'll get one thing mastered, resolve your traumas and triggers and suddenly a new thing that never bothered you before will show up.
And let us not forget all the dissenting voices which will tell you the reasons you have not achieved enlightenment is because you did it your way instead of theirs.
And the grief of all the wasted time.
It is a constant squeezing until the rag has disappeared well and truly.
In the silent moments between the rise and fall of breath you find your reprieve from the great challenge. It is where faith lives. You don't have to know what it is to be faithful of because in actuality it is faith in something bigger than yourself that cares for you as you care for that which is lesser than you.
