8 months and had been misdiagnosed by my GP with major depressive disorder. Meds and my pdoc got me out of it.
TRIGGER....don't read below if psychosis triggers you.
The depression morphed into depression with psychosis with delusions and disassociation. I thought a secret society was out to get me. I thought there was a man in all black clothing hiding in my house ... to terrify me and eventually murder me. Everyone that drove a Lexus vehicle was part of the secret society. (I was lead in-house attorney for Lexus at the time). I had many, many hallucinations at home of various types.
I floated out of my body while driving - severe dissociation. I was looking down at myself from the roof of my car and could see my body. I couldn't feel the gas or brake pedals at all and I was driving. I thought everything was tapped at home and work. I trusted no one except my pdoc and, of course, my daughter ... who thankfully was way too young to know anything was wrong. Most terrifying depression of my life that turned into psychosis, too. Maybe it turned mixed. I was messed up bad. My pdoc saved my life.
