  • Feelings of panic or anxiety that cause you to avoid people and decisions.
  • Believing people are out to get you or want to hurt you.
  • Withdrawal from alcohol or drugs.
  • Major changes in alcohol or drug use.
  • Seeing or hearing things other people do not see or hear.
  • Intense feelings of hopelessness, helplessness or sadness.
  • Thinking or talking about hurting yourself or others.
