crazyness, second try.?

Question

I AM NOT AT THE AGE OR EVEN CLOSE TO GET BIPOLOR DISORDER, SO PLEASE DONT ASK ME MY AGE OR EVEN TRY TO SUGGEST THAT!

I hear voices at night and I end up wakening up and covering my ears. I am also very paranoid. I have to tell my self sometimes that this is reality and what’s going on in my head is not real. I also have to listen to music constantly to make the voices go away. i have had some traumatic experiences happen to me in the past. Am I crazy or something?

Answer 1

Not all people who "hear voices' are psychotic. See, www.hearing-voices.org (a UK org.).

If the "voices are in your head like your little friendly thought voice but definitely not that or of a different gender or multiple voices and/or hostile then you might be hallucinating. Not all people who report hallucinations are diagnosed as being mentally ill. Look up "hallucinations" in Yahoo! web search for more info. Wikipedia has a good summary.

If you persist in having trouble with the voices then you might have a disorder needing treatment. There are effective treatments. Contact your GP physician for recommendations.

Good luck with your "voices", good mental health, peace and Love!

Answer 2

You might have PTSD. Symptoms of that can include paranoia, the fear that something traumatic will happen again. But, using the word "crazy" to describe having a Mental Illness is a little offensive to me. I have a MI, but I consider dangerous people as the "crazies," not people who get therapy and take meds and stay stable. Good luck with finding a good therapist to help you feel better.

Answer 3

It could be post traumatic stress disorder, which includes nihgtmares and flashbacks and stuff. Or you might have psychosis, which is like shizophrenia but more common in younger people.

Answer 4

You could be Schizophrenic or have any disorder at any age...
talk to a professional who can help you. Your scared and that is no way to live your life. Tell someone you trust and get help.
