It used to be both. Now it’s annoying noise I ignore.

It never got deep into fear. Has always been more like a psychic pounding. When you are suffering brutality constantly it’s easy to find yourself normalizing it

It took me a while to realize it left me with PTSD as well. Tried to deny it, but it was there.

It’s hard to believe a brain can be Soo brutal. It’s harder still to believe how merciless people can be when they think it’s justified.

Ask the chicken lol

When my symptoms began in my teens it was terrifying, so I used to be fearful but now that I am so used to my hallucinations, I guess I would vote distressing.

I was deeply traumatized by this illness. The psychosis was a horrible experience I never want to go through again in my life. So I take my meds and try to prevent myself from getting ill anymore.

I have never felt fearful but rather distressed, hence why I get agitated while in pscyhosis

Fear is the worst for me. Fear puts me in a type of paradox. I have success overcoming fear from my delusions. But now it is becoming fear of overcoming life in general. Health and financial and relationship issues.
