Without trying to bring trauma to the surface, could you provide an example of the voices before medication vs after medication?
The one that made me realize something was wrong was a normal, gentle rain. I had this overwhelming fear that the roof was gonna fly off or leak or disintegrate. It was normal weather, not an extreme storm. I couldn't sleep because the worries were so bad.
Once I started taking medicine, I realized other things. Not everyone worries they're gonna be fired every day, that their tires are gonna be flat, etc.
Thank you for replying. I should probably get medicated as well.
