Depressed or Obsessed?

Hey guys... Dumb question maybe.

Lately I've been really scared that I am getting depressed. I am not sure if I am actually getting depressed or if I am just obsessing that I will get depressed. Actually, as I write this I can tell that it is obviously an obsession.... I doubt depressed people wonder if they are depressed. But I can't seem to break the loop.... I'm scared to death of becoming depressed.

Any advice?

It’s hard to say as only you will really know- I fear it may become a self fulfilling prophecy though ? There’s a quick quiz that therapists use to score depression levels asking about sleep, diet, feelings of worthlessness and motivation etc - could be a good place to start x
