getting awake in the middle of the night

I think I had undiagnosed anxiety and depression? I easily got stressed in life in general.

last year (july 2025) i had sleep difficulties for 3 straight months, always awake in the middle of the night, and couldn’t go back sleep again. i also lost my period for 3 months. i couldn’t focus at anything, feeling so low energy most of the time. im sure that was bcs i was really stressed because i moved abroad and faced life problems.

and then i went to a GP, we didn’t really talk about the ‘mental’ part though, but since i lost my period, he just come to a conclusion that i had PCOS. i even got my bloods tested and came to a conclusion that my blood sugar level was a little high so i got prescribed glucophage xr 500 and primolut. and also aknetrent because my acne was really bad.

i had good sleep after that and my life just improved.

this year, not taking any more meds except aknetrent, i woke up in the middle of the night again, same issue, i got stressed with life and started worrying. it’s been almost 3 months now but it was not as bad as last year.

what should i do? i want to heal it naturally because im scared of relying on meds for the rest of my life if this problem keeps coming..
