Has anyone every gotten depressed because of Anxiety? I'm not really depressed, its just like I feel down because I've been dealing with anxiety symptoms all week which has lead to me not getting much done. Anyone else ever gone through that?

Hello.
Yes. It's quite common for anxiety and depression to go hand in hand - because of the reason you stated. Or it could be for other reasons depending on the person. Just keep an eye on your overall wellbeing. We don't want your anxiety and potential depression to snowball.

I dont know why this is but mine is worse in the mornings, it seems to be less at night. Like this morning it took me hours to even want to get out of the house and it's been like this for several days now

Mornings is especially bad for me too, it's usually gets better as the day goes on, but some days I can tell it's not going to lift and today was one of those days. I took my meds about 11 and went to bed slept for about 1 hour and that's me up again with racing thoughts.

Mine is keeping me from being able to concentrate on anything, it's like a brain fog. I tried caffeine yesterday, but it made me more anxious. Sounds like we're in the same boat almost

I could not motivate myself to get out of the house yesterday, I didn't even feel like eating and when I did I felt nauseous. Just have to rude the storm I guess, but I feel it gets more difficult.

Yes, I lived with Anxiety all my life it feels like being in prison.I couldn't even swipe my card in line at a store for fear of people looking at me.Gets very depressing. I cut my sugar intake,exercise and try to get more sleep and now I can swipe my card anywhere. Still have attacks but much better. It's funny how quickly people with Anxiety know where all the exits are in any given building.Hopkins I helped.Good luck.

Have any of you had trouble concentrating, doing anything that requires mental focus? I feel like I can't think straight for the last week. It has to be anxiety related cause when I'm not having symptoms I have no trouble at all with this

Hi, r:
Absolutely, I have felt like that. I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember. I feel like I have a little black cloud that follows me around a lot of the time. Some days I will be so happy and other days I feel so empty. I don't sleep well due to Fibro pain and lack of sleep causes anxiety, which causes depression. It is one vicious cycle....Hope you feel better...You are not alone, believe me...HUGS.
