Should I bother the doctor?

So I'm new here and I have read a few posts and know that no one here can diagnose me, I'm not sure there really is anything to diagnose. But I would like to know what someone thinks. I have been diagnosed with depression but the medications haven't helped.

Recently I've been hearing noises, sometimes just my name, buzzing noises, deep sounds, sometimes I have a difficult time sleeping and they've been giving me headaches, no one else hears the deep buzzing sound, I've started hearing it other places, I'm currently at my aunts and I heard it here as well. Sometimes I see things out of the corners of my eyes, nothing specifically dark shapes I look and there's nothing there.

I've never had any hollucinations that I know of or anything serious that I can think of, but when I was younger one time it was storming out thunder and lightening and my dream cast told me to turn it off and unplug it, a box popped up and voiced it robotically, I used to have a game boy and the game Pokemon and I'd constantly hear the song id be checking my pockets for a game boy that I'd must have forgotten to turn off that wasn't actually with me. But nothing's happened and that was when I was around 13-15 I can't remember exactly, I'm 26 now. I don't think anyone's out to get me.

I get weird de ja vu a lot, and I swear I've actually dreamed something's before they've happened. A couple years ago I almost died from encephalitis which probably doesn't matter to much of anything but I thought I'd mention it because it does have to do with the brain. On the de ja vu note not that I do a lot of drugs but whenever I smoke marijuana which isn't very often It gets way worse I feel like I've lived everything that's happening and it's really unsettling it happens every time and doesn't take much to make me "high". I have a family member who has schizophrenia which is just making me worried I think, most of the things are probably just my imagination.

I'm sure theres other things I could mention but these are some of the things I could think of right now, I'm not the type of person who likes to visit doctors and what not especially if it's just in my head, I wouldn't want to start taking medication for something I don't have because I've convinced myself of something. I don't really want to talk to anyone and say "I think I'm schizophrenic" it's just a strange thing to randomly say especially since I'm not paranoid and don't hear voices. I'm not even sure what I want out of this but I would really like some response of some sort.

I'm not sure if there is an ability to edit things, but I was thinking and also I have weird dreams, and when I wake up some things are still there? I had a weird dream I was being strangled by a demon or devil and when I woke up I could still hear a demonic voice talking to me things I couldn't understand. Once I wasn't actually sleeping but I was laying down and I went to pat my cat tigger and it was dark, and I was petting him and he started meowing and it didn't sound like him and I sat up, and I saw a slender cat shape move to the foot of my bed, which instantly made me jump up and turn on all my lights and then i realized my door was shut and there was no car, and my cat tigger is fat as days, the cat sounded like my all black slender cat Spider-Man who had died sometime before I can't remember the time frame. Also I've had what I assume was sleep paralysis I couldn't move I could see my television in the background and there was a dark shape flying above me shaped like a man, I just stared at him/it and freaked out until I could move. Also once I woke up and saw my grandmother sitting in my computer chair and sat up to talk to her and she started to look demonic, she was my guardian after my mother died, she's also since died but at the time she was living.

I've just been thinking about this a lot lately and just because of a joke I made to my friend over the dream cast.

One last tiny thing though I'm just thinking a lot right now... Ever since I can remember for some extremely weird reason I cross my fingers when I feel scared, still too this day and it calms me, I know rationally it doesn't do a thing but I'll do it consciously and unconsciously if I'm feeling nervous or paranoid anxious anything like that really.... I definitely do not know why it's embarrassing really.

Is there something currently bothering you right now?
Have you talked to anyone in-depth about what you're feeling?
Sometimes even a brief connection can make up for a lot of the grinding you may be going through...
I feel it every day. So I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to really talk with someone and maybe get out.

You probably have psychosis. Schizophrenics actually believe their hallucinations are real. So there is a difference. One is where you lose touch of reality and the other is when you're basically always losing touch with reality. I don't know how they treat people with psychosis, but I heard it goes away so people don't always have to be on meds and meds aren't forced on them. Doing drugs makes psychosis even worse.

Lol I know I haven't been overly specific and definitely if I do have it, it's mild.but let me just say, when I was petting my dead cat, or being strangled by a demon who then talked to me while awake, it was completely real, the only reason I've started even thinking these things were out of the normal is because of something my friend has been saying to me. Lol my dream cast talked to me and I listened and never even thought to tell anyone. I keep seeing things in my peripherals and feel like I'm being watched. I'm an artist and I like to do portraits, I have to turn them around because they watch me. I don't know I'm definitely going to go see the doctor Ibe never really thought I was a paranoid person, and I'd always just say that one things were dreams, even though I was wide awake. After my mom was murdered as a child I'd always think demons were trying to murder me I think it's something I've been experiencing my entire life and just thought was normal. I never thought about any of these things until I started writing on here and reading other people's posts. But yeah I mean I'd rather it be nothing but I don't think it is.

it might be worth it to get help. maybe something can be prevented from happening if you are treated early.

Oh please. Mental hillnes are very serious problems and to be labelled like that is also dangerous or risky, Its incredible you would enter in this trip for some suggestions.

About your buzzing noises, I did a post about with no answers, I know what they are: did you have a traumatc past?

I've been scared and obsessing, and I really wanted someone to tell me I'm being silly and it's nothing just me overreacting. But as I said, I am definitely going to the doctor but I do thank you for answering me. And yeah traumatic past, nothing too terrible compared to some people though, but I've always been a little off. Thank you for answering though

Becuase buzzing noises are sometimes symptom of PTSD.
