Psychosis is so scary

I used to hear my mum complaining and moaning at me in my head in her thick German accent.
What was most scary to you about your psychosis.
Plus it was kind of loud and the tone was absolutely not great.
Psychosis is horrible.
Why just why. And how. I want a cure.
It is a nightmare
I want to live in peace. And quiet. And in reality not a world of my own

I wonder what percentage of people hear voices non stop. That must be something else

The scariest part to me was the paranoia, I thought a white truck was following me and that they were going to kill me.

Fortunately paranoia was the first symptom to go.

What was most scary for me was the fear. Now, even though I’m no longer psychotic, I am often afraid.

I figured out over time that the voices’ main influences was to literally scare me. The main fears were that people I had wronged were seeking revenge, I was being watched 24/7 by hostile forces, my thoughts could be heard by hostile forces, and these forces were trying to murder me slowly through sleep deprivation, and destroy my life. Well all I can tell you is that the meds, and cognitive therapy helped nearly eliminate those voices over a period of 27 years. I can’t really explain why it happened.

The scariest part for me was and is being worried about what influence I will have on my kids. Sometimes they go with me to counseling. I hate to leave them when I need to be hospitalized.

For me it’s like not knowing what is going on, not being in charge of my brain, weird ideas and other

The scariest part about my psychosis is the command hallucinations.
The most terrifying command hallucination I received was “jump out of the window”. The hallucinations would be hurting me with visual/tactile hallucinations and they would do anything to make me do it.
Thankfully, I didn’t jump out of the window but I ended up in the hospital because of my psychotic episodes.

My voices used to talk a lot in the night at my worst. So sleeping was difficult. They wanted to overdose me on sleeping drugs so I didn’t wanna fall asleep

The scariest part for me us when my voices turn hostile towards me.
When they start suggesting self harm and suicide, and get louder and louder.
I almost always have voices, but they’re usually background noise.

For me, ‘delusions’ are the worse. It’s embarrassing when i come back to reality… the fear of going crazy again is stressful too.
