Anybody here that hears voices?

[CyanideSoup]

I experience this. It's terrifying. The voices sometimes tell me to hurt myself or ctb or hurt others and it can be really difficult to manage. I also know that I am constantly being watched and listened to and that somebody is out to get me. Like everything around me is a simulation and I'm trapped inside a torture device for something I did in a past life. I feel your pain. It can feel so lonely and like nobody else understands. I'm still trying to figure out my coping techniques but having an ice cold shower or putting my face in ice cold water can kind of shock my system enough that it helps quiet everything down a bit.

I'm not schizophrenic. Apparently medication can help to manage the hallucinations and paranoia but I have my own opinions about that.

So if you give all the signs of being schizophrenic or suffer from paranoia including not wanting to trust doctors or take.medication that can help. Why do you believe you are not schizophrenic but instead think it more likely that there is a conspiracy against you with an entire group of people who's purpose is to monitor/track or control you. What is it that makes that seem he logical answer?

Not trying to be disrespect or confrontational,just trying to get you to think about it in hopefully a different way hearing it from someone who is nothing to do with you and has had this conversation many times with a few friends I have tried to help in past.

I hope you manage to find some sortmof peace in your mind whatever way it comes.

I don't know the boundaries between hallucinations and voices, but I feel since twelve the presence of a Spirit in my head. I called her my spirit guide or imaginary friend. I can feel her as a separate identity of my since we have opposite personalities. Does that count?

I usually hear shit when I take a lot of sleep aid to try and combat my insomnia. Other than that, the only voice I constantly fight with is the voice in my head.

Can I respectfully ask if people could not talk about what I may or may not have? The reason for this thread was just for me to see if I could find people who were/are experiencing similar things and to get some tips on how to deal with it all. I appreciate people are trying to help and not having a go at anyone but the way my mind works I can get very upset by the smallest of things and am very over sensitive. I know this is a fault of my own and not others.. I am not blaming anyone at all and don't want to upset anyone. Sorry.

Thank you, I'll give the ice cold showers a go next time it gets too much! If you ever feel up to it, pm me. Would be nice to talk to someone who is going through similar.

I hear voices and have auditory hallucinations due to PTSD. They can come on at any time, makes me incredibly suicidal and in a way are worse than that the event I keep reliving. The only thing to break me out of it is medical marijuana. If I am out of marijuana, I am an impulsive CTBer, and they will end me.

Maybe I need to give marijuana a go! I'm totally down for that haha!
On a serious note, I'm sorry to hear you go through this and that you've been through something terrible that you have to relive. I can totally relate with them making you feel suicidal! Glad you've found something to help you with it and really hope it continues to help you!

Honesty. Try it. My medical doctor and pulmonologist tagged teamed me to take it. I am lucky to have great docs who will prescribe marijuana and tell me get as high as you want.

I can function on it.. so it gave me some life back. Definitely try it. Legal or illegal. I prefer legal because you know the purity and amount of THC..

I don't think I'd stand a chance of being prescribed it here in the UK! Especially when the first thing the MH teams ask is if I ever or have ever taken drugs.. (I don't.. but must admit I love the smell of weed haha!) I wanna get stoned once before I ctb anyway, so will give it a try sometime soon!

I hear voices inside other sounds. For example, we have a huge 200 litre fish tank and the pumps and filters make humming sounds. In that sound, I will hear voices, like distant conversations in other languages. But I can't make myself hear it, I've tried to tune in a find it, but I can't, it just happens. It's not only voices either, I hear random things like helicopters that aren't there, birds in the house or car, like actually in the house.

Id hate hearing birds in the house because they freak me out ha! So if they're talking in other languages, can you not understand what they're saying? Do they upset you when you hear them? Sorry for the questions.. just curious :)

Nah, I can't really understand it. To me, it's like if I was hearing English as a foreign language. Just a room full of foreign speakers it sounds like. It bothered me the first few times I heard it, but now I find it funny when I hear helicopters and birds flying about the house. It's not intrusive and never says anything bad so I'll just get on with it until it gets to that point. Feel free to ask anything I'm an open book.

I wish I couldn't understand mine at times! Haha imagine if one day a bird really was in your house, but you thought it was just you hearing stuff and then you walked into a room and a bird was flying about Glad you don't find it intrusive and hope it never gets to that point for you! Thank you.

Not gonna lie, I'd think I was now seeing things as well lmao.

Oh don't, I convinced myself I had spiders on my bedroom wall all last night and this morning. I kept seeing big black spots out the corner of my eye but then they disappeared. I think that might have just been because I hadn't slept in hours and hours.. at least I hope it was that
