It may be true, both anxiety and depression starting with stresses. So these stresses might bring both of these.

Everyone is different, so it's can be a hard thing to answer. Since everyone will react differently, there isn't a yes or no answer to this, but in my opinion and experience there are certain types of anxiety that can affect depression or bring it on.

Anxiety doesn't always bring depression, however depression can bring anxiety. It isn't uncommon to have them together.

Being so fearful of opening a door to the outside world is pain, and with pain comes depression/sadness. Fearing you will say the wrong thing to friends stops you from saying what you need to say, or want to say and in turn can lead you to unhappiness because you don't want to lose loved ones but in the same breath you don't want to be hurt by your loved ones either. You might not always be depressed and anxious at the same time but they are both very similar and one can often lead to another.

It can, but it doesn't have to. It totally depends on the person and their experiences! You can be anxious about something without feeling sad or depressed.

It may sometimes, and vice versa, however anxiety does not inquire you'll suffer from depression as well. Again, and vice versa. Hope this helped, I hope you are well :)

Not necessarily, but the two do usually go hand-in-hand. For example, anxiety may lead to feelings of loneliness or inadequacy, which could potentially lead to depression. So yes, you can have both, however, just because you have anxiety does NOT mean that you will get depression as well.

I believe it does, you can't express yourself as who you are and it makes it very difficult for you to approach people and make new friends. It can cause loneliness which over time can cause depression as you feel there's no sense of purpose in your life.

Anxiety doesn't always bring depression, however it's completely common to see anxiety bring depression, or vice versa. Often times the things we are anxious about, if they aren't solved early on - can lead to long term fears and overall feeling of depression, as it decreases the general quality of life.

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?
