I've been wondering: hearing the voices of family/friends telling me how worthless, stupid, ugly & all that jazz over and over again plus thinking I had diabetes (I do not) plus feeling guilted by those voices into the possible lowest point when I was in the middle of my depressive episode - is that normal for clinic depression or are those psychotic features?
I always thought this was what everyone with depression went through (plus all that other stuff) but recently I read something about psychotic depression and it made second guess myself.
I'm not asking you for diagnosis, I'd just like to know if this is normal or if I should tell my pdoc and not feel like I'm just being hypochondriac. I'm afraid that if I tell her and it's normal, she'll laugh at me or single me out as 'difficult'.
Thank you for responding.
