I have had a similar experience during this last depressive episode I went through. I would actually wake up with a thought in my head that would repeat itself over and over for hours, sometimes it would just be a word that I couldn't shake, it would just keep popping into my thoughts despite what I did to try to ignore it. I don't have OCD so I expect it was caused by the depression as I have no problem now that my depresion and anxiety is back under control.

> I don't know if I have ocd or if the depression causes these stupid relentless thoughts. In my case I don't go into any rituals or anything like that but I have the same retarded thought all day and it bothers me. It began after the depression set in so I don't know if it is just a symptom of my depression or I also suffer from OCD. I remember this happening in previous episodes but this time it seems like it bothers me more. Any thoughts???????;)))))
