Will worrying about depression make me depressed?

[Mv2305]

I’m a long time anxiety sufferer. One of my worst problems is health anxiety. I took a 5 day course of Metronidazole for a wisdom tooth infection which I finished this last Monday. Since then I have felt extremely down and anxious. Before this, I wasn’t really feeling depressed at all. I’m now really worrying that I’m depressed. I’m terrified of depression because I took some anti-depressants once that I had an adverse reaction to and it was really scary. I don’t know if I’m just hyper focused on my mood and making myself feel depressed. Can anyone help?

It is normal to feel sad sometimes. Sadness is a normal human emotion. Take some time to experience your sadness. It will wane.
