Does anybody obsess over their depression/anxiety? I’ve felt so depressed lately and I feel like I’m obsessing over it and I can’t get out of it

Yes definitely lol

This was me last week! I was having really depressing thoughts, and I could not stop ruminating about them and worrying that they were reflective of my true beliefs. I was also scared that I was in the beginning stages of clinical depression. I didn't feel like myself, and my anxiety was very active. I'm feeling a little better this week. I can't say that I did one particular thing to help, other than ride out the wave. I also made sure to get outside and walk every day and spend some time with people I love.

Can I just say that having depression with OCD is like usually 100% the case just from having OCD and not from some chemical imbalance? When OCD takes over your life for a long time or in an extreme way, and you try and get help but do not get it or you receive the wrong help, or maybe things get worse for whatever else reason, then it is pretty logical to feel that way. Having OCD IS a depressing thing honestly

(I mean in most cases btw, sometimes it's not like that and people can get depression for other reasons, non related to OCD or they had it before the onset of OCD, but from all the people I have talked to this seems to be rare and usually it's not the case)

@chellie I agree, my ocd causes me depression. I do not have a very traumatic past or anything that would lead me to feel this way - it’s strictly from my OCD. especially bc of my ROCD and harm ocd...it’s annoying and stressful
