Im really scared im going mad...im 25 weeks pregnant and about month ago i started to have auditory hallucinations when im trying to sleep and now i have anxiety about it, my doctor says im not going mad or have schizophrenia but im so scared I'll think i have or convince myself i do....i feel so odd and i really dont know what to to...im truly scared that i'll end up mad or worse and have my baby taken away from me? Im consiantly thinking about it..am i normal? i think weird thoughts and scared i might start beleving in them. My dr gave me Sartaline but im scared this wont work and i need anti pyhoctic drugs instead, why has this happened to me i was so happy
Thank u x

Try not to get too stressed about it, you have seen your GP about it & if they have given you 'sartaline' (do you mean sertraline, anti-depressant?) then they must think that will help. Make sure and go back to your GP if it doesn't start getting better, or gets worse. You are not 'mad'. Have you been given contact details for eg Community Psychiatric Nurse or someone who you can call when you are getting overly stressed or is your midwife good?

Can you change your GP. Why is he prescribing an antidepressant for psychosis?????

have you experienced voices before?

yes thats what i ment setraline the antidepressant.
no ive never heard them before and it only happens at night when im trying to sleep or when i suddenly wake up...sorry i dint add that before just got very anxious. but im scared of hearing them in the day and start to believe them if i do.
No my midwife just told me to speak to my gp about how im feeling

what type of voices? are they telling you to do anything?

no not sentences just the odd word like my name or sometimes its a buzz, im not sleeping at all well, i get about 4-5 hours a night can this cause these?

Maybe a type of panic attack? Lack of sleep can definately cause that kind of thing, you really need to try & get more sleep, the AD's will prob help with that. Hope improves for you soon.
