I have a huge fear of psychosis as well as the more severe mental illnesses. I am diagnosed with anxiety and I have a little bit of depression from it. It's been a constant battle and this morning I started on the medication. I have thoughts about what if I see or hear things. What if I think god is sending me signs or controlling my thoughts. Which part of me knows isn't realistic but I'm kind of starting to believe it. Should I go to the hospital and get checked out for psychosis ?

Hidden, it sounds like obsession about psychoses and fear. Do you talk to your Dr. About this? I think you would know if you were hearing things. I also have this fear but it helps to talk to my therapist. what meds are you on?It sounds like anxiety to me. Good thoughts for your recovery.

I can't answer what you should do, but sometimes anxiety and depression are signals telling us that something needs to be changed in our lives.
