Thank you all for the support! I feared criticism. The reason i'm confused is mainly that i feel there's more than depression going on. I feel like i'm honestly going mad. Maybe that's just a symptom of something else less serious and i'm not actually crazy, but hell if i can put a finger on it.. Nights are awful. Tones play in my ears, i listen to people argue in my head.. A couple have names but at this point they're all new voices that i hear. I've considered schizophrenia, but that's severe and rare and i don't hallucinate severely. I don't know what to call this.
I do that too. Do you ever feel youre involved in the conversation? Will little bits repeat and change occasionally (like rephrase a sentence)? Do you ever catch yourself saying a word or two aloud? Is it more prominent, louder, or more confusing after a particularly stressful event?
If yes, idk what to call it except an overactive imagination. You're mind is still on a roll from the energy/stress of the day so its creating these sounds. Try winding down before bed by reading, watching the discovery channel, or a nice hot bath or shower. Usually works for me, but if not then try playing some softer instrumental music as you go to sleep. Vivaldi, maybe, or some blues. Your mind will focus on the exterior noises more than the "in your head" voices.
If no, the same still applies. Also can be memories (which.your mind can alter, so the voices change, especially if its a voice you haven't heard in a while) or see below about tenitis.
Is it normal that I feel very mentally ill?
