Am I psychotic?

[Septim]

I keep hearing a voice telling my I'm worthless over and over again.

I'm pretty sure the voice isn't real.

It's this a depression thing? It's very strange.
Surely if I know it's a hallucination then it can't be a hallucination. Is that a thing?

psuedohallucination. its a hallucination but you know its not real. i have both. psuedohallucinations are more frequent for me though. (btw i have visual hallucinations)

i hear the same "voice" but i know its just me putting myself down. at least i think it is. thanks to another disorder of mine i think all of my physical and mental problems are fake which really only makes things worse

It sounds like your "Inner Critic", perhaps

It is like you're actually hearing it? Like as if someone was speaking to you but there's no one there?
The fact that you can tell it's a hallucination is a good sign, I would guess. It's more worrying when people hear voices but believe them to be real.

Yeah they sound like real voices but there's nobody here

Doesn't sound like you are psychotic or delusional, could just be auditory hallucination which accompanies some forms of depression/anxiety.
But that's just a guess. You might be interested in reading this article: https://www.bridgestorecovery.com/b...nonpsychotic-hallucinations-in-mental-health/

Thanks for the link! That actually helps. I'm kinda thinking this isn't much to worry about now.

Even though I'm no fan of doctors and psychiatrists, I would still recommend you mention it to some kind of professional, if it starts bothering you too much.
But yea, try not to worry too much about it.
