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

Advice ROCD
How do you guys get past the anxiety? I feel like my thoughts are the only thing that control my mind. So often I feel like I should just leave my partner even tho I love them so much because I just feel like these thoughts are too much. I over analyze everything. I feel so stuck and defeated. I just want to be normal. I feel so toxic for the thoughts that I have

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

hello everyone 🤍
i’ve been dealing with this “thing” since i was 15. (i’m 23 now) if i have a bad memory that i have done when i was really young or just an intrusive thought i feel like i need to tell my mom or boyfriend. it’s been on and off ever since but since January hit it’s been an everyday thing about the littlest things. mostly about my relationship. an example is i was talking to someone random at my job and we were talking about taxes and when im in deep thought or just thinking i do a thing where i bite my lip (not in the sexual way) and i had a thought when it happened “was that sexual?” and i felt like i did something wrong and i went for a while thinking that until i told my boyfriend about it. or like my ex’s face has popped up in my head in the most inappropriate times and i feel the need that i have to tell him. (my ex was not a good person) i feel like im a prisoner in my head everyday, trying to justify thoughts or remind myself that its just a thought. i didnt know that this was or could be a form of ocd. it runs in my family but i’ve just never considered it being this. i always called it anxiety or depression but i always felt like it is more than that.
