hi, my depression is interrupting my reality. I often catch movement out of the corner of my eyes, I look an there's nothing. I am hallucinating.

I was working last week making deliveries. I forgot my phone at home or so I thought. I just left on stop headed to the next. It was 10:56 I had to hustle to make it to my next stop by 11:00. Then my phone rang three times I pulled over and looked for the phone. At each stop I looked for my phone. It was stressing me out. I couldn't find it. I thought great, I was having auditory hallucinations too. When I got home I found my phone right where I left it. The odd thing was someone called me at 10:56.

I don't know what is happening in my brain. I am afraid to tell anybody because I might lose my job.

I am so lonely and in the darkness. Is my brain doing weird things because of my depression.

That sounds like a horrible experience. I’d like to impart words of wisdom; I just don’t know what to say. Don’t give up. Look for a way to take a break; maybe a couple sick days or a few weeks off. Don’t let any self doubt creep into self loathing. None of us brought our condition on ourselves. My one urging is that you share your experience with an appropriate medical professional. I hope you have the great fortune of having a good psychiatrist. It makes all the difference in the world.

Hi raggedy AnnI have had clinical depression for a little more than 40 years. I have never experienced visual or auditory hallucinations though. My mind has played tricks on me but I usually figure it out and it's a rational explanation. I am not sure how exactly to figure this one out with you. I definitely agree that you should talk to a doctor. If you don't have a psychiatrist go to your primary doctor. I think that is important to do. I'm sending you positive vibes and good luck in your search for answers. Be well.. ✌️😊🌻
