Ocd and depression

Does OCD ever put you in a sad and depressed mood? I have been feeling like this all day today and I can’t tell if it’s from my thoughts/ just being overwhelmed for months in general? my boyfriend could tell over the phone I was super down and as soon as I got off the phone I just started crying. Not officially diagnosed with OCD but whatever this is, it feels like hell and that I truly just can’t be happy. Wondering if your OCD makes you feel other emotions strongly?

I relate as well. At one point negativity was the only feeling I felt and it was very exhausting.

Sorry to hear that. Let me tell you that starting therapy was the best decision I have ever made!!! You have so much to learn and I swear you will not regret. Reach out to NOCD! In the meantime, negative feelings happen! Some days just suck lol but you will be ok! Sometimes I like to think about how I had such an amazing last 100 days, then I get a bad day and feel like the world is caving in on me and I am dooomed! But 1/100 is 1%!! If someone told me that for the rest of my life only 1% of my days were bad I would probably die as the happiest man to ever live! Don’t sweat it♥️

Hi, yes mine have led to depressive moods before. I contribute a lot of it to my mind just being so tired from dealing with the thoughts. It really is overwhelming dealing with OCD and just life in general. Have you tried ERP therapy? https://www.treatmyocd.com/blog/what-is-exposure-and-response-prevention-therapy Here is a good article on OCD and depression: https://www.treatmyocd.com/blog/depression-ocd-how-are-they-related

It’s like being hypnotized and taken can to a traumatic moment, opening up the wound, processing it and closing it back up so that memory isn’t supposed to have that much importance

Can ocd do this? Is this part of ocd?

I was watching a video about mental health and self hatred was mentioned and as i was listening it, i started feel anxious and then i was like "i hate myself its so bad" and i started to feel depressed. This happened in the past alot of times and with different topics too, but now i was more aware and i could notice, this isnt true. If i would go to therapy and i would tell that i feel depressed cause i hate myself, we would work on loving myself, but now i was aware that its not that the problem. I felt really sad, cause i believed the thought that i hate myself, when i dont, i just struggle a bit now and i cant feel that big loving feeling towards myself as in normal days, and i interpreted that as i hate myself, so i started feeling sad about it. Is this part of ocd? Alot of times it happened that i had a really strong thought like this, i had like "youre depressed, youre a narcisisst, youre suicidal or i was suicidal in the past" and i believed these thoughts, expecially when the feeling of sadness came with them, it was hard to not believe them.

Depression

Can OCD make you have a fear of depression? I’ve struggled with harm OCD for a while but now it’s morphing into “I’m depressed” theme. I got instant anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this where it convinces you that you’re depressed ?

Can OCD obsess about depression?

Anyone experienced something like this? I was never diagnosed with depression. However lately idk if my ocd is trying to latch on another theme but its questioning whether or not im depressed. Im scared of depression. The feeling in my stomach makes me think its depression. But the same feeling in my stomach is also one I feel with OCD flare ups. I did research symptoms of depression and was self checking. Anyone else experienced this?
