I'm copying and pasting mostly from my intro post in new members because I really want to know what's happening to me if it's just my severe anxiety or something more

Now, another thing that started occuring around the time the horrid anxiety came out of the blue is that I started hearing voices inside my head at night way more often than I used to (Ive always had, but never remembered. Now I'm conscious and not near sleep when it happens. To me, it seems like memories interrupting my thought process since it feels like I've heard them before, MOST of them. It's mostly garbled, I can't really understand it except a few words here and there). It rarely happens during the day but when it does, it's outside my head and it really scares me. My therapist believes it's that my depression has psychotic features.
One thing that is really bothering me now is that now I've gotten so scared and paranoid that whenever I hear someone around me whisper or talk quietly, I can't decipher whether it's in my head or not. I verify that they're actually other people around me but I can't help but feeling they're inside my head and it's not true. I can't decipher what I actually heard or not. This is exacerbated by my huge dissociating problem (it's so bad that at random times during the day I would be talking to my friends and suddenly feel like my voice is not mine, it's someone else talking and it's not me).
My therapist keeps urging my parents to take me to the psychiatrist but they are strictly against it. We've tried everything except meds but my anxiety and depression does not appease and she believes they would really help me. My parents are the type to believe that psychiatrists and meds are for insane people. They don't know about the voices though I need help. Please can someone tell me what's going on and if this is normal. I would really appreciate it.

(Sorry for the long post... And and all advice is helpful, I've also have been suffering from depression for around 5 years, it's gotten better though now)

I already posted my thoughts in your intro post. perhaps it being dissociative identity disorder and the voices being your own. this caused extreme anxiety for me because I wasn't listening to them and they wanted to be heard. when I started treatment for it, my anxiety was greatly reduced. take care.

Idk I don't think I have that because most of the time the voices are garbled so I can't tell what they're saying. Also, there are moments when I'm dissociating a lot and every movement I do and everything I hear seems like it gets repeated, it's hard to describe. I turn my head and it feels like I didn't do it and at the same time it feels like I never stopped doing it, like little flashbacks repeated. It's really hard to describe. Same with talking. I say something, and it doesn't feel like I said it but at the same time it feels like I keep saying it over and over and over. It's very strange.
