I've survived a few periods of depression. Last winter I had one so bad that it distorted my thinking and increased my hallucinations. I thought I was slowly dying. The 'grim reaper' was standing beside me waiting patiently to steal my soul. I was able to actually sense its presence. At one point I believed I had intestinal parasites in my rectum and musicians were communicating with me.
In my mid twenties I had a psychosis that was very different from my last depression. I thought God and aliens were communicating with me and that the world was being taken over by communists. I recovered but not completely. I still get sensory distortions but they are not as intense as they were when I was ill. Depression and sleep deprivation definitely makes them worse.
I'm not sure what my primary problem is. My psychiatrist told me I definitely have a psychotic and mood disorder?
What has your psychotic depression been like?
