Hello,are these signs of depression?

[wanttobefree]

Hi everybody,lately intrusive thoughts didnt have that much power over me,but i feel bad/sad,i dont feel like doing anything,im just tired and cant focus on things lately,im not enjoying things like i used to,as i mentioned i am having trouble focusing on things.I feel like im not really thinking clearly,like my mind is foggy all the time,i cant even explain how i feel and i dont want to be in this situation,i want to go out and have fun like i used to,liking stuff,being energetic and all that.But that just seems unachievable,i always have something to feel bad about, to feel worried about and its really draining.

Hope yall doing great

I hear ya. That loss of inter rest in things and enjoyment of life are associated with depression. I hope you can get assistance on that from a good therapist.

At the same time, OCD is exhausting. Sometimes, our brains and bodies need a rest.

Glad to hear the intrusive thoughts are quieter at least.

I hear you...... I've had OCD all my life. In 2017 I went through a couple years of OCD being extremely bad, and terrible depression. I didn't want to do anything like you are saying. I didn't feel like putting any flowers outside in the spring or even go shopping (which means I was REALLY BAD ;). I believe this part was depression for sure. Are you on meds and getting help? In 2019 I got on Trintellix and got back on the right track again. This year I'm living in a new home, planted a flower garden in my back yard, in the front I have all kinds of flowers, got started on hobbies that I love, and am very happy. Yes, I fight OCD here and there, but I am no longer depressed. Please get help for this. Don't let your life pass by you without finding someone to help you. If that person doesn't help, go to someone else...keep looking until you find the right one!!!

Yup, I am definitely struggling with my motivation. It is so hard! I am trying to work on staying busy and having a set schedule. Even though it is so hard.
