I Think I'm Developing Depression

[Artsycat]

I already have social anxiety, but i think I'm developing depression now, too. I've had almost all the symptoms for at least the past two weeks. But, because of anxiety, I keep thinking that I'm making it up and I'm always worried if I actually have it.

Forgot to mention, but i have generalized anxiety, too.

The good news is that you don't have to have a depression disorder to be depressed, so let's hope that is the case.There are many forms of "normal" depression. Situational, seasonal and post natal are a few examples. I would treat any feelings of extended depression as a concern. The first thing I would do is listen to my self-talk to try to figure out what is bothering me. If the depression became more of a concern I would make an appointment with a therapist to help me with this.

Ok, thank you! I hope that's the case, I don't want to feel like this for too long. This was very useful advice and I hope you're right!!!!

It’s normal to have it with anxiety and social anxiety it leads to depression, so you are completely normal I know how it feels. Social anxiety sucks but do you blush in social situations with your social anxiety?

Sounds like depression to me, have you talked with your Dr. You may need a low dose of an antidepressant, I think I understand how you are feeling - and it is not nice. Please come on line we will try to help you. I agree with gerg depression is not all the same, I have had a few clinical and several situational depressions, so lets get to the bottom of this and get you well. Sincerely with love, hugs and peace. Sprinkle 1..........
