when i was unmedicated i was hearing from about 50 or more family and friends and celebrities a day in my head. it seems i memorize a voice or something and then i will have hallucinations of familiar voices.
just last night, i was thinking, i haven’t hallucinated for 3 days, and then adrienne said “hallucinate” haha. she’s an old friend from college.
at first i thought well maybe im telepathic or something to only be hearing from friends and family? now i just have whispers, but they are all from mostly old friends. it makes me leery of getting another persons voice in my head, because i will hallucinate it if unmedicated
First time it happened was when I smoked weed for the first time, it was 1-2y before my diagnosis. Also sounds and visuals around me were distorted looked artificial and fake. I told 2 Drs that I feel like I am not in reality anymore, that I feel not real and that i am hearing voices. They said its just stress until I ended up in the emergency from suicide, then they diagnosed me the same day with psychosis NOS.
It’s strange how we only have whispers. The voices when loud took over my whole life, they were all consuming. Everything was a struggle with a voice going ninety every second
