I've been wondering: hearing the voices of family/friends telling me how worthless, stupid, ugly & all that jazz over and over again plus thinking I had diabetes (I do not) plus feeling guilted by those voices into the possible lowest point when I was in the middle of my depressive episode - is that normal for clinic depression or are those psychotic features?

I always thought this was what everyone with depression went through (plus all that other stuff) but recently I read something about psychotic depression and it made second guess myself.

I'm not asking you for diagnosis, I'd just like to know if this is normal or if I should tell my pdoc and not feel like I'm just being hypochondriac. I'm afraid that if I tell her and it's normal, she'll laugh at me or single me out as 'difficult'.

Thank you for responding.

Hello ba.ll.oo.n, your pdoc won't laugh at you or single you out as being difficult. The more you can share with what is going on the better, then they can help you in a more appropriate way.
