I’m curious to see if anyone else experiences this.
When my anxiety and depression get really severe I sometimes get paranoid.
But in some ways it’s more than that. I just don’t really know how to explain it very well. Perhaps episodes of psychosis?
A situation can happen that stresses me out and my anxiety will go crazy and next thing I know I’ll be up for days convinced that someone is trying to hurt me or hurt my dogs. Or that strangers have cameras and microphones in my house watching and listening to every thing I say and do. I’ll be convinced that people, even my own family are trying to hurt me. I’ll spend the entire time in a hysterical panic until my body shuts down and I mental and physically crash.
It’s scary, exhausting, embarrassing, and affects everyone around me.
Once I finally crash and sleep it off most of the time I’ll wake up feeling drained and embarrassed about my actions knowing they were stupid, but when it’s actually happening nothing and no one can convince me differently.
My fiancé use to work 3rd shift, but had to move to morning shifts because when he’d leave for work for his 3pm-5am night shifts I would sometimes think he was not a real person and was some I had just made up.
So when I’m not in that panicked anxiety depressed state I think like a rational person.
I don’t know if this is more than the norms of anxiety and depression. When I did see a therapist and psychiatrist and told them about it they blew it off as if it were irrelevant, but I feel that it is important. I feel like there must be more wrong with me other than depression and anxiety. But I am no doctor. Perhaps it’s a very common thing many of us struggling with.
I’m seriously starting to think it’s psychosis☹️
