Q: What to Say to Doctor

Hi,
i dont know how to approach the subject (my symptoms)with my gp. A brief summary of my previous post is:

basically I am always seeing figures and the world moving around me. Sometimes I hear voices telling me horrible things about my friends, even people I dont know. The figure loom over me and I can feel them proding me with their hands, sometimes I get so freaked out I just lye down and try to ignore them by scrunching up my eyes, but I can still see them.When I look at the walls, floors, etc they move back and forth. I never feel like I am really here I see many horrible images as well as figures and I spend most of my night up fearing if I fall asleep they will harm me.

How do u approach the topic, what will they do if I tell them??
Thanks 4 ur time!!!!!!!!

Tell the doctor you are seeing things that are not there. He will then ask you more questions and you can answer if you like. He will not force you to answer and will not force you take medication. Unless you will hurt yourself there might be a problem.
