Something’s not right

I think i’m hearing voices

I think i’m hearing voices

I’m loosing touch with reality. I feel like i’m tripping over my own thoughts because they’re going so fast and that something external is imposing on my mind. It feels like my internal monologue is originating from somewhere external. Words and thoughts pop up without my permission. I feel so uncomfortable all of the time. I feel like my mind has disconnected and I’m seeing things through a small gap. It feels like my mind has a mind of its own if that makes sense. I don’t know what to do or who to talk to about this.

For some context my gp increased my medication a few weeks ago but I was feeling like this even before that. It’s just more frequent/without stop now.

Hi @beepboopyo

Good on you for reaching out here on the forums. It's really good to have you here. I'm sorry things have been tough for you. Do you think the increase in medication has caused the issue? Have you asked your GP? Do you see any other mental health professionals such as a psychologist or psychiatrist? They may also have some answers. Looking forwards to hearing back from you,

Hanami

Re: I think i’m hearing voices

Hi @beepboopyo

I get like that when I describe myself as upside down and inside out with stress and worry.

Does that maybe make sense?

My underlying conditions are basically fibromyalgia and I am not on medication.

Maybe seek a second opinion? Sometimes doctors and therapists can develop a sort of 'tunnel vision' when thinking outside the box would be more helpful.

Hope that helps. Take care and Welcome to Sane
