My psychiatrist said that the psychosis might ease off when the depression does... When is this depression going to end?!
I'm doing everything I can and should be doing to get well. Im taking all of my medication. I've increased my anti depressants. Im ignoring Georgina as much as I can. Im telling her to go away and come back later. Im trying to reason with her. I'm trying to be positive. I'm looking forward to the future. When that doesn't work I'm trying to be in the moment...

It's so hard to know what to do when you have several Dx because they can be so intertwined. I mean, my depression is directly because of how my PTSD has limited me. And now I'm even more limited because of the depression. But I doubt my depression will decrease until my PTSD becomes less debilitating.
PTSD and depression also makes my ADD a lot worse.
And toss in ACOA, the mix becomes combustible.
Even my T wasn't able to sort any of this out for me. I dumped her, and am going to get a new one. But I am not confident I will be able to find a T who has a thorough grasp on the complex workings of each of my conditions, not to mention be able to understand how they "play off" each other. With my T, I was actually having to educate her about ADD/ADHD and ACOA as she knew nothing about either of these. (Isn't she the one who should have been the expert?) Then, she refused to believe much of what I told her, but wouldn't go out and educate herself. (I guess this is because she wasn't going to put in any time on my case that she wouldn't get paid for.)
So, yeah, I don't have magic words for you, either, only empathy.
But it sounds like you are doing everything you know to do. Hang in there!
