Depression and the negatives for me.

If I were psychotic for very long that would be the worst. The depression goes on and on so I picked that.

Anxiety is the hardest on me. Psychosis makes me harder on everyone else. So it depends on who you’re asking.

I hate psychosis. I felt like I couldn’t put two and two together and didn’t know how to act in front of other people.

Anxiety/Depression is pretty normal for me. Goes away when Im busy with other things to some degree.

Mania is a mixed bag for me. Of course there are negatives to it, but there are also positives. I did some stupid stuff, but I also had way more confidence way more energy more motivation to do things. If I could swap depression for mania I probably would. One is a state where I sit around all day feeling bad for myself and struggling to do basic things. The other is a state where I might start stupid arguments with people when I get bored, but generally I get more things done and feel happy most of the time.

Psychosis is easily the hardest these days. Followed by anxiety second.

Mania made me ruin my marriage and spend all my money from the divorce settlement. Nothing fun about it at all.

Psychosis and panic attacks are equally bad.

You can’t really compare them, it really depends on symptoms severity. Severely depressed ppl are suicidal which is worse than sz in this particular case. Severe mania can be worse than moderate psychosis, etc

Nothing worse than psychosis except maybe paranoia. Those two combined are hell. Physical pain sucks too.
