I love sleeping because I don’t think as much and if I have nightmares even though they are so real I can cope with the fact that it’s just dreams. Now I hear more voices because I’m anxious which leads me to conclude that in fact my mind is not being read and ppl most certainly can not hear me but it is still pretty Aggravating and scary. What are your thoughts about this and what triggers your voices? I’d like to know.
I’m still coming to grips with the idea that it’s voices that I’m hearing and not real people. I hear them when I’m anxious too, when I’m alone. My pdoc recently told me that it was hallucinations. I thought people were breaking into my home. It is scary. Sometimes being asleep is easier. This line of thinking can be dangerous, though. Thinking that sleeping is better led me to misuse my prescription meds. I never want to go down that road again.

Why are you alone?

Because when I’m outside and I see or think I see people reacting to my thoughts it totally scared me so I rather be alone. I know it’s bad and maybe that why I’m so depressed but I can’t help it.

Most of the time I’m okay, but when I do anything that makes me feel like I’m attracting attention, like playing guitar or when me and my girlfriend are fighting, the voices kick in. I used to hear them every time I played my stereo. If I’m fighting with my family, I tend to hear stuff too. I used to hear the neighbors behind my dad’s house every time I visited,but that’s not happening as much anymore. I do notice this, when I’m too stressed out for whatever reason, my symptoms come back. Voices, personalizing everything people say to me, feeling persecuted, paranoid, etc. But it’s fairly mild and I’m still able to show a little insight, although when concerned family members of my roommate/girlfriend suggest I’m showing signs of becoming unstable and say I need to see a psychiatrist right away, I almost always get pissed.

Sleep won’t cure it. But maybe slowly getting back into being more social, like being online like this. That’s a good start.

voice hallucinations love, love, love negative emotion like anxiety, fear, sadness, paranoia and anger/fustration.
“They” would love them if the voices were people, anyway. (but they are not)
Those negative emotions seem to be a trigger for many.
So much so I kinda think that is why there are so many super cute pet pictures and jokes floating around on a site that is made up of people with depression and anxiety and lack of sleep.
It just makes sense really.
