Skeezyks is right, some people just won't understand. I've battled audio hallucinations brought on by anxiety. They seem super real, but there's no way they can be... For example, hearing people talk about me in Walmart, but then there's nobody visibly around or close enough for me to hear them talking. Or being at a gas station and hearing people talking about me, but there's no other people or cars at the pumps, etc. To this day, part of me still believes people really were talking about me and part of me knows it isn't possible. If your therapist doesn't believe you and you do believe, try to just shrug it off and continue on... She may prescribe you meds that will help you with delusions or hallucinations if that's what they are.
If you're having drastic mood swings that might mean you are bipolar. I have bipolar two - which is depressing downs, but not necessarily manic ups. Meds really do help, but even that takes patience to get the right ones or the correct dosages. Take advantage of group therapy if you have that option. Some people will leave you when they find out about your problems, but going to groups often helps in finding people who understand. Often those relationships turn out to be way better than any relationships that you lose. People who have similar problems are much more caring and sympathetic.
If you really want help then seek it. A lot of it is up to you even though it may feel impossible to do sometimes. It's a struggle, but some beautiful things can develop as well. Finding people who care and understand is one of them. Thanks for sharing.. asking for help can be hard. Take care. : )
