When anxiety takes less and less control of you, atleast in my case, i started to reflect on what i had missed out on while being in that anxious state, thus giving me depressing thoughts. Now not everyone experiences anxiety and depression in the same way, but my depression after the anxious episodes was the feeling of missing out. Missing out on all the fun stuff my friends did get to experience.

What's the deal? When I'm super anxious, I am not depressed. I'm just anxious all the time. But when I have little anxiety, I'm extremely depressed. I started taking anxiety medication and my anxiety has dropped dramatically within the last few months, but my depression seems to be getting worse.

Has this happened to anyone else? All my doctors told me "treat the anxiety and the depression will take care of itself." But it isn't working. So...what gives?

Taking medication for my anxiety is making my depression a lot worse
