Am I alone in this battle with depression? I have MDD with psychotic features such as hearing voices and hallucinations of strange things. My depression is so severe with psychosis and depression everyday of my life. This is my story it started when I was in high school my depression with psychosis features. basically I didn't tell my doctor until I was 19 or 20 about my voices I heard in my head and seeing things as well which was a big mistake I didn't want to tell him because I thought he would put me in the hospital but when I got sicker I knew I couldn't take it and had to tell him the truth by the way if you know anyone or yourself is hearing voices or seeing stuff tell the doctor right away because they need to put you on not just antidepressants but antipsychotics as well because antidepressants my doctor said would not help alone with the voices or depression. but anyway it started back when I was in 9th grade when I heard voices and saw things like ghost and demons. I also had very severe depression along with the voices, hallucinations, smells, feelings like some bugs crawling on me, and it was crazy I even told a guy in school a demon possessed me and I could change my voice so I had a deeper voice when I was trying to sound deeper I thought I was possessed which scared him and I had allot of people afraid of me and not be friends with me anymore. basically I learned psychotic depression or major depressive disorder with psychotic features is one of the worse cases of depression and is the hardest to treat that's why I'm still trying to heal I really need some support because I hate this and I suffer it each day I see a doctor and therapist and soon I'll be seeing a therapist at my house since my doctor recommended it to me. I also suffer post traumatic stress disorder since I had a bad past of a furnace fire killing the cats in my home. but I'll talk more about that in ptsd support group I'm also in. so that ptsd does not help my fate either with my battle with depression. All I'm asking is I'm new here and need some more support please because no one really supports me besides my family at home and doctor and therapist. I need some new friends to share experiences with... I'm reallly alone does anyone suffer this MDD with psychosis or am I the only one it really stinks having this and psychosis is the worst and depression. Please give me more suggestions for treatment that has worked for you if you suffered this or give me advise on how to deal with this I'm just so depressed right now.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon
