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

I think I need help
I’m positive I have OCD I don’t think get too many compulsions but the obsessions are what mess with me. I’ve recently started medication for depression that is as a side effects supposed to treat ocd but I’m not noticing anything with the symptoms. Also who do I go to to try to get an actual diagnosis?

Anxious about everything
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me

Can ocd mimic depression
Can OCD mimic depression? With this theme I’m always wondering if I have OCD or depression. It first started out as harm OCD and now this. Today I told myself if I did have depression then it’s treatable and I would work on it. Then I started to feel depressed and emotional and like had an urge to google the difference. When I did this I just broke down because I felt like I related to them, it made me worse. However when I look up OCD symptoms it makes me feel better. So now I’m unsure. Almost like OCD wants me to believe it’s depression
