Anxiety..
Is anybody scared of being depressed or becoming depressed… and think about scenarios that will make you depressed?

Yes! I actually relate to this a lot but what I remind myself is that even if I experience depression, it’s okay because I have the tools I need to deal with each moment of my life. We don’t need to fear things that haven’t occurred yet, we have to learn to live in the moment. Connecting with our five senses because we cannot predict the future and sometimes we believe it comes true bc OCD can cause moments of depression, but the reality is that a lot of people experience depressive episodes and that’s okay, so even if that were to occur, there’s no reason to fear it. You’ve dealt with OCD all this time which is not for the weak as we all know, so you can and will get through whatever comes your way. Don’t stress what hasn’t occurred! Your doing great.

@Nacio Yes I definitely understand you! Maybe you associate depression with something bad? That’s something maybe you can uncover

I face it by doing the things I love to do, even when my anxiety makes me just want to lay down all day.

@Nacio Example: I love running. My plan since yesterday was to go for a run. Earlier today I got an intrusive OCD thought that caused me anxiety and feelings that I could have compulses or ruminated about. Instead, I let the thoughts and anxiety be there and went about my day. Each day I practice this, I notice thoughts and anxiety less and overtime they have decreased.

@rudabega I’m dating a girl and I was hangout with this girl at the gym and got her Snapchat and we’ve been texting and then I was thinking too much like what if I start feeling some type of way for this girl and I need to stop hangout with her cause I might catch feelings and get depressed… yk?

@Nacio Also!! I wanted to say that letting it control your actions like stopping talking to someone you like is giving in to the OCD and then allowing it to continue to cycle over and over again. So I suggest sitting with that thought with that uneasiness even if it makes you feel bad or low, let yourself feel that. It’s only temporary and the less you give into the compulsive behaviors the better off it is for dealing with this type of struggle

@Nacio I do! It’s basically relationship doubt! I deal with that alot! I try to just continue dating! If it is for you trust it will be for you, EVEN OCD won’t stop that cause your true feelings will reveal itself

fear of psy. and sci.
does anyone else have an intense fear of developing schizophrenia or psychosis. This has been a really heavy theme for me as well. I’m constantly checking to see if I have symptoms or if I’m gonna go crazy or develop these. it’s so scary.

Are you afraid to tell yourself you're depressed?
I'm really afraid to say that and the reason might be because of how depression is described to us. And at this point I dont know what is depression. I don't think feeling down is depression. Or sometimes feeling like things doesnt go as you want and you dont know what to do. Maybe it is, I can't tell it cause if i say im depressed in these situations it makes the situation worse, I feel like I put more weight on me. I know its common for depressed people to be ashamed that they are depressed and that might be my case too but as I said, many times I feel like I shouldnt call it depression, just feeling low or things has been stressful and it made me mentaly tired. I imagine depression as a different thing, i believe i was depressed before,because of ocd and i wasnt able to deal with my emotions, and sometimes I spin about that too cause again depression is presented differently in social media and by therapists too. So everytime i feel down i spin about if im depressed, afraid of depression cause I see it as a really bad thing.
