Thanks

I have both. Depression I go almost numb and slow and anxiety my mind races so fast I can't hear the thoughts.

They can often go hand in hand. Ive suffered from anxiety which caused low mood but I still felt motivated, worked and did things I enjoyed. Hoeener I was also very teary, angry and exhausted but that was from the frustration of anxiety. There is no easy definition!

That's helpful thanks. I'm not feeling quite right, in some ways it feels similar to the pnd I had in the past but in other ways it's not. So I don't think it's depression and wondered if it could be anxiety but I'm not entirely sure.
