Can anxiety cause me to feel depressed?

Anxiety can be debilitating and can make you avoid things you would usually enjoy in fear of anxiety or an attack. It's therefore quite isolating and being alone often and not going out much can make people feel low in mood.

Anxiety can take a lot of energy out of you, leading to feelings of fatigue, being worn down, and feeling depressed. It's important to look at your feelings throughout the whole day, and journal if you can, to help you sort out the root cause of what you're feeling. Once you have a clear picture of what's going on, you can start to work through it in a positive and productive way.

Of course. The feelings of anxiety and depression are often closely linked together, causing a vicious cycle of both, sometimes they can be experienced together, and sometimes one causes the other, often a mixture of both. The problem with diagnosis is that emotions and feelings don't fit neatly into boxes, and emotions are fluid and interchangeable. Problematic thinking patterns or low endorphin levels in the brain can easily manifest itself as both anxiety and depression, although they may appear very different, they are actually very similar.
