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.

Yes, especially if you don't understand what is happening to you. Anxiety can stop you doing things you normally would and it can make you scared to live your life, this can lead you to be depressed and feeling down. It does get better though a and just because you are feeling bad at the moment, it won't always be that way.

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.

I think that it can. If you are emotionally exhausted and feel anxiety building up you are more likely to look at things in a negative way which may contribute to depression. If you feel anxietly building up, please talk to a listener on 7 Cups.

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.
