Can anxiety cause me to feel depressed?

YES!!!! The feelings of depression can occur because anxiety has a tendency to crush our spirit and make us feel emotionally spent, also we begin to see no way out from the way we feel and have nothing to look forward to. I also went through depression with my anxiety and got caught in the cycle of being depressed because I was depressed.

No, anxiety can't cause you to feel depressed. Anxiety is a feel of worry, nervousness and it has nothing to do with depression.

Most definitely! Anxiety can cause feelings of perfectionism - and, if perfectionism isn't achieved, feelings of failure or inadequacy. Anxiety can also cause you to be afraid of how you're perceived by people or anxious about your interactions with them, which in turn is an isolating feeling, which can make you feel depressed. Anxiety and depression often go hand-in-hand for these reasons. If you're depressed you lack the capability to be as productive as you want, which makes you anxious; if you're anxious you lack the capability to enjoy life as much as you want, which makes you depressed.

Anxiety and depression are closely related, anxiety is to much future while depression is too much past. Also, whenever you feel you don’t have the needed resources to cope with a situation you can feel anxious, if there is too much information and you don’t know how to react to it or the response you give is not enough to solve it you feel depressed.

Yes, very often, and it's kind of normal, under the circumstances. It's important to deal with anxiety before it grows into depression.

Yes. Anxiety can cause depression because it can keep you from doing the things you want to do or the thing that could make you happy or complete. It can act as a form of bondage, and feeling trapped can absolutely cause depression.

That's certainly a possibility! Depression can have loads of triggers, including anxiety! Anxiety can make us feel pretty low about ourselves in general, and social anxiety can even lead us to not socialise with people, which in turn again can lead to depression, sadly.

Anxiety is a lower vibration. It is caused by not living in the present moment. Choosing to stay in this lower vibratory state will attract other lower vibratory states, depression being one of them. It comes from a sense of powerlessness and fear. I find it helpful to sit with the feeling and to inquire what triggered it. When I don't do this, it makes it difficult to increase to a more positive state. The choice to change begins in the mind.

From personal experience I've found anxiety has been a major trigger for my depression, especially panic attacks since they cause such an emotional breakdown I find often after a bad one I feel very depressed and negative about myself. I think a large part of this was due to how isolated I felt through my anxiety, it made me feel incapable of having relationships with people because I was just a burden on them and they wouldn't understand why I couldn't do the things they did in life since I was always held back from it. Just finding the right group of supportive people online or irl can really help you through those depressive spikes, it really helped me a lot and I for the first time I felt like I had a voice again.

I started having anxiety in the third grade, I started overthinking everything and that made me isolate myself at some point. Soon after, because of the isolation, I became depressed so I do think it's possible that anxiety can cause you to feel depressed.

From personal experience, anxiety came as a symptom of depression. But, from experiences of friends, anxiety caused them to feel isolated and alone, then causing depression.

Yes! My anxiety feels like it will never end, that all my life I'll be anxious and it's something I can't live with. It's defenitely something that makes me feel depressed.

Anxiety can be really debilitating. People often don't go out of the house a lot, don't see friends etc. with anxiety which can be a large onset to feeling depressed. It's quite normal.

Yes. It is not uncommon for people with anxiety to feel depression, and vice versa. It would actually be very unusual to find someone with anxiety that didn't have a little bit of depression.

It has happened to me through personal experience so I would have to say, yes, it can. Anxiety and depression can go hand to hand which is crappy.

Yes, from personal experience, anxiety tends to weigh on a person, causing them to sometimes feel low, or not have much motivation, getting you to feel some depression.

Anxiety can definitely make you depressed, in my personal experience having anxiety made me depressed because I was so afraid to go out with friends that I was confined to my room and I got very stir crazy. So yes I do believe anxiety can cause depression.

Yes, definitely! Anxiety and depression often overlap. If your anxiety is preventing you from doing things that can cause you to feel depressed.
