telling doctors?

[boobie]

basically i have episodes in which i am highly parinoid and delutional and on occation maybe psychotic. when i am in these states i often hide from family and friends mainy due to fear! anyway. things are getting worst and i think its time to discuss these experiences with my care team. but i am terrified that they dont believe me! for the most part i am rational and insightful! i am scared that because of this they wont believe the other side! to a degree i dont even believe myself!

basically i am asking is there anyone with similar experiences? and what where your experiences in discussing this with your doctors/therapists? any advice would be amasing!!!

thanks

i have very similar experiences and i'm on antipsychotics. sometimes i think people are out there to get me like they'll stab me or kill me or something. i get very scared and i rarely go out when i think like that.
i think you should def discuss this with your care team. they are there to help you and they won't be able to help you much if they don't know the full story. *hugs*

sorry i didn't see this part. i'm also hearing voices sometimes and i told this to my therapist. it was very tough but i managed to get through it. so anyways, she asked me when it all started and stuff like that. then she asked me if my psychiatrist knows about it, which she didn't. so she urged me to tell my psychiatrist. and just like that i told my psychiatrist. they were both very nice about it. i thought they wouldn't believe me and they would think i was a freak but yeah i'm very glad i told them!

i was so scared they wouldn't believe me. that's why i had such a hard time telling them. def tell them and see how it goes from there!

yeah i think i am going to tell them. was speaking to someone i trust earlier who has witnessed a couple of these episode and has said that he would be more that happy to back me up if it came to it! i just got to bit the bullet and tell them!!

if you tell them they will take you serious.
its a good idea to tell them things like this cuz unless they know they cant help
