I haven't ever asked for my "official" diagnosis, but in bad depressive episodes I have become paranoid, feeling like people are following me or watching me, feeling like I need to protect myself (ie: wanting a weapon of some kind), found it difficult to recognise people because for some reason they look very similar and I feel like they're all someone else I know in disguise... etc. Occasionally I will also have what I think are called pseudo hallucinations - hear people's voices but I know they're in my head. Those are very different from hearing my thoughts or imagining someone in my head. It's literally like people speaking loudly and I can hear them in my head, and have no idea what they're saying or going to say.

@trishstoppedsmoking, I'm really sorry to hear that you're waiting for a diagnosis right now, that must be extremely scary
Do you have anyone around to be with now when you're really struggling?
