I experience most of my psychosis in depression. I’m not completely wrapped up in it as I know how “crazy” it sounds to other people but it’s stuff I truly believe. My most common one in depression is my brain has split in two and one half is trying to kill me (by suicide) and the other is trying to kill that side so I can stay alive. I felt embarrassed trying to explain that to a dr once because I knew it didn’t sound normal but I was terrified and needed it to stop. Obvs I was hospitalized (in the worst hospital I have ever been in but I digress). Often when I’m depressed voices (real ones) seem too “loud”, like way louder than they normally would. I find it hard to be at work and listen to multiple voices. I’m more at ease when I’m at home and it’s just the three of us.

I’ve had psychosis during hypomania as well, mostly paranoia.
