Hi everyone - the purpose of this post is to see if anyone know's something i dont. From what I've read, it seems depression is just a state of sadness. (which is awful) well i wondered if anybody can tell me why when i was depressed i became psychotic? and my mind really messed up..i was lost in fantasy. i would think the weirdest things about anything and feel weird stuff...so is that depression??? i was prescribed depression meds. i just want to know whether they've tried to treat the right thing (depression) and not missed out on a disorder maybe? i've read about people that get psychotically depressed, and its just like mine. she went into hospital when she cracked, but i didnt. it says you should be treated with anti-psychotics and depression meds. well im just on depression meds, although im not as psychotic as i was. This one chick that was psychotically depressed thought the newsreaders were telling her her baby was going to be taken into care - whereas when i first cracked i thought my friends were telling me they were gay. "yea so you're gay?" "NO james you cant just say that..whats wrong with you?" obviously they meant you cant just say it outloud, so they must continue talking in code. by the morning i thought i'd been raped, i thought my mates were murderers seeking help in hiding the bodies, i was also thinking they had a massive gay porn ring in london. also over the next year or so, the TV was continually talking to me, along with computer games...anything was. while i listened to other people talk, I'd hear them speaking in code and making snide remarks. is that psychotic depression and if so do you think i should tell my therapist? i dont talk much in the sessions
