Can Anxiety Cause Depression?

I've been struggling with anxiety for awhile now, feels like it's apart of who I am. but it's challenging when I'm doing my every day to day stuff. my brain will get scared if I mess up or fail. than makes a fake world, it's like my anxiety also makes depression. can anxiety also cause a state of depression as well?

It sounds like you may be having some intrusive thoughts. One thing that helps me combat these thoughts is having mantras to repeat to myself to center myself again. Even something as simple as "mistakes don't make me a failure". Change the inner dialog and be gentle with yourself. It is easy to get overwhelmed and be hard on yourself.
