Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic
I can understand your concern. A lot of individuals with depression have anxiety and repetitive thoughts. Some times repetitive thoughts occur with obsessive thoughts. In most of individuals with such problems treatment with medicines and psychotherapy is advised.
Medicines like SSRIs as Fluoxetine or Paroxetine can help in such situations. Fluoxetine can help to reduce persistent and repetitive thoughts and can help in reducing anxiety and depression also. In most cases if drug is taken regularly then improvement is seen in about 4 weeks.
Relaxation exercises like Progressive muscle relaxation exercises have excellent efficacy in reducing anxiety. For the uncontrollable thoughts Behaviour therapy like thought stopping techniques have good supportive roles to medicines. Combination of psychological treatment and medicines will result in improvement of your condition.
Please don't remain stressed, with proper treatment your symptoms will reduce. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of these medicines.
Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again.
