Am I losing my mind?

Question

I really think there is some thing wrong with me. I go to sleep and I hear these voices and I think I may be dreaming but I don't know and most of the time it makes me feel terrabul in the moring because I don't get sleep, plus I'm worrieing the whole day about what they say. Also I know this sounds stupid but I allways have a tune stuck in the back of my head even when I try to not think about it some times if I'm just sitting alone in my room when it's completely silent and I can hear it and I get migranes from it, sometimes I start to cry cause it just won't go away. I'm completely obsessed with these books I write. every moment of my life I am thinking about what will happen next in them and what books I have to start and ones I have to finish. I try talking to my mom she says I'm fine when I tell her I have mentioned it more than once. And I don't want to tell the guidance counselur in my school cause she scares me. I just need to know if there is any other way for me to get help.

Some times I don't even know what they are saying like a low whisper, but I allways feel like they are talking about me. Or some times it's like really loud yelling in a language I really don't know, but seems familiar. The times that get me scared though is when its like this one voice and it says stuff about how I screwed up, I remember I was out with my friends at the mall and this boy who was 18 we knew him and he asked me out and I said yes so then he wanted to kiss me, I really wanted to but I didn't and when I went to bed that night I was laying and trying to fall asleep and the voice started yelling about me not kissing the guy and the next day I layed in my bed and cried the whole day

Oh and some times I feel like I just fall asleep and then I hear my dads voice saying "Emie wake up it's daddy" and I wake up of course cause I havn't seen my dad since I was 11 and I'm 14 now. He isn't there when I wake up of course and so I go back to sleep and it happends again and this gose on for around three hours

Answer 1

Go to your school nurse. She can get you a referral or some help.

Answer 2

Hearing voices is not normal, but the fact that you recognize this indicates you're not losing your mind because you know they're not to be believed, and should not be there. If your mom doesn't want to believe there is a problem, you need to talk to your doctor; that's what the counselor would recommend. The MD who specializes in the brain and how medications affect it, is a psychiatrist. A psychologist is not an MD and can't prescribe anything. The problem with not getting medical care, is that this can get worse on its own, and they could become so insistent that you wonder if they are actually real, and this could be dangerous if they tell you like to do things, show strong disapproval, etc. You could look in the phone book for Health Department under State of ______, and find the local mental health department. This is not something to be ashamed of; if you had diabetes, you'd get it treated just like anything else, and if the chemicals are wrong in the brain for some reason, they can be corrected also. There are a lot of people who have problems like this, but don't talk about it.
My sister hears voices sometimes, and I have allergies that cause mood swings and headaches, etc. But I don't talk about it much. (see, you don't know me.) Just hold your head up and do what's best for you. Get it taken care of. I wish you the best!

I think this is in England but you might find something on their website...

Answer 3

Look in your local phone book for the nearest community mental health phone #. Most books have something listed in the front of the book. Or call information. It is possible you could be suffering from a type of schizophrenia or other mental disorder that can be treated with medication which could help to " normalize" your life. But only a qualified physician can decide. It may just be stress, who knows...but your mother is doing you NO favors by ignoring you. Maybe she is in denial and knows more about how you feel than she's willing to admit??? Maybe she has the same things going on?? Please seek assistance from your local health department or doctor just to be sure. It may be nothing. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Answer 4

I have been hearing strange voices when I'm asleep, too. I think they're dreams, but my dreams have become so slurred and hazy, like I'm drunk. Everyone gets tunes stuck in their head, it's not exactly a symptom of mental illness. I can totally relate to the scary guidance conseler. I have a very weird one in my school. Is there someone else, like a teacher, you could talk to? These feelings could be brought on by stress in life, hormones, or by a true mental condition. Talk to another trusted adult, or an older sibling. There are also helplines for teens in trouble, you can look them up online.

Answer 5

talk to God... pray you don't hear voices, and that ur protected. what do your voices say to you (add detail and ill edit my answer later) you may not need help,its probly like a dream, like its telling you or warning you about the future, but theres nothing you can do to prevent these thoughts from happening, when things like that happen to me, i write it down, somewhere, anywhere, paper, computer,a note i write it, i say it outloud to myself the situation, then i crumble up the paper delete the message whatever and i feel a huge sense of relief.

Answer 6

Sounds to me like your getting too much sleep. Find something new to get involved in, your mind is just stuck in a rut; you gotta do something it doesn't expect.

Answer 7

You can also go see someone in your church. They can also be very helpful and they don't judge.
