am i going crazy?

Question

i had an advill this morning and i got back in bed to see if i could sleep but i can't. i got up and i heard voices in my head all talking at the same time but it was gibberish and i always think weird stuff. what's wrong with me?

Answer 1

I have asked myself the same question a couple of times. I have had the experience once where for a few seconds it was like my mind was usurped and I heard talking but afterwards I didn't know what had been said. I wouldn't even worry about it unless it keeps happening then you might need to see a psychiatrist. I think there is a wide range of "weird stuff" you can think that is really no big deal. Acting on some weird stuff would be a problem though. Look into some Freud stuff. There is a lot of stuff that humans think that they wouldn't want anyone else to know about. The important thing is that some things are and should be repressed. You don't have to agree with all of what he says though. I don't completely. If the voices happen again, pay attention to the circumstances. For example, was it after taking some medication, then you may have found your cause.

Answer 2

First off... no, you're not going crazy, but you may have an issue that needs to be addressed. Advil should not cause that type of reaction, so we need to look a little deeper. Are you on any medications or recreational drugs? Have the voices been going on long? Have they ever made sense? Understand this... THEY ARE NOT REAL. Don't try to answer them. Don't expect them to give you any advice. Don't take any advice they offer. And, yes, I am serious. Call your clinic's on-call doctor right now. If you don't have health insurance, call the United Way's First Call for Help (just dial 2-1-1 in most of the USA). This kind of thing can be a reaction to a drug (street or legit), or a chemical imbalance in the brain, which is usually very treatable, but it needs to be addressed immediately. Call a friend who can come over and monitor you and help if needed. Good luck! Ed, RN (Psych)

Answer 3

Maybe you had a reaction to the advil? I personally can't take Aelive because it causes me to haulicinate, so maybe it had the same reaction on you? You may just be ill and these are the effects of a bad fever on you. If you find it is a common reoccurance or they're telling you to do things that are self destructive, then seek out professional help.

Who knows? I don't know if you're spiritual...but maybe you had an interaction with spirits?

Answer 4

Perhaps you're stressed. Being stressed would explain why you're not able to sleep and the voices could be people demanding you to do things you haven't done yet. And the weird stuff is normal-- people just conceal it. But maybe the weird stuff is your subconscious trying to relay something to you? It would proabably help you to analyze it. Other than being stressed, there's nothing wrong with you. (If you were schizophrenic, you wouldn't know the voices were in your head.)

Answer 5

As a healthcare provider I would like to know some information. Is this the first time this happened. What kind of wierd stuff do you think? These things need to be openly discussed with your healthcare provider. Get some answers....does your parents know? Tell someone who can help you.

Answer 6

Hearing voices is one of the key identifiers for schizophrenia, doesn't mean you have that but if you experience that symptom often it is a good possibility, I know from lifetime experience.

Answer 7

Sounds like your stressed. I recommend relaxing for a day or two and if it continues get professional help.

Answer 8

nothing. your actully lucky. some people start seeing things attacking them when really its only a blanket on the floor or something. trust me if you can type, your fine!

Answer 9

i think you're just a little sick and hallucinating a bit... just relax for a bit and see what happens...
