Yes, Anxiety can easily cause you to feel depressed because it puts a huge amount of stress on you, eventually you feel like everything you're doing can/will fail and that'll eventually lead to you feeling worse and worse, it's a negative spiral, one that's hard to break.

It's possible especially if you feel like you can't do stuff you want to be able to do because of the anxiety. Depression and Anxiety are pretty closely related and if you have one you're more likely to get the other because of the chemicals in your brain.

Depression and anxiety can definitely add into each other, and make each other seem worse! The good thing is, though, that when you get your anxiety in a good position, your depression will be aided a bit as well!

We have a natural response when it comes to survival, its our fight or flight response. Specifically fear driven and this fear is normal fear like say a fear of a poisonous snake biting me. That is real fear. Anxiety is a form of fear too but its not real and experiencing this sort of fear all the time can leave yourself feeling depressed that things are not working right in your life. So I think there is a connection between fear and depression the way I deal with anxiety is to recognise the unrealistic fear and ask myself the question "Where is the evidence?" I ask myself were is the evidence to support this fear I am experiencing, challenging my thoughts and in the end the anxiety goes away.

Absolutely it can! In fact, anxiety and depression very often go hand-in-hand. If you lived your life every single day struggling with fear and worry, uncontrolled fear and worry that leaves you constantly feeling on-edge, stressed, and often irritable, doesn't it make sense that this might begin to have a negative impact on your overall mood? It's very common for the uncontrolled negativity we associate with anxiety to push us into a dark place that leads to depression.

Anxiety can definitely make you feel depressed. When you struggle with anxiety sometimes you can feel hopeless. Feeling that way leads to depression. The best thing you can remember is that you need to have patience with yourself. Anxiety doesn't go away overnight, and working through your anxiety can take a lot of time. Keep your head up, and think of your anxiety as a journey. You will find out a lot about yourself on this journey, and in the end, you will come out stronger.

Yes. Anxiety is complex and there is no one size fits all. I would suggest to speak to a counselor or psychologist about your anxiety and the triggers your experiencing. Most important of all give your self credit for every little accomplishment.
The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
