I feel guilty and stressed. I feel like everything is my fault. I feel like I annoy everyone (people say I'm not annoying but I feel like I am) and I feel like I'm rude to people.
Is this part of depression or something different? I have OCD too. |

Hi Spike99, what you are describing can be part of depression but is also an example of 'distorted thinking'. You cannot be responsible for everything and everything can't be your fault. It is a very painful way to think and feel and most of us have some unhelpful ways of seeing and interpreting the worl around us which causes more pain than we need to suffer.
