Is it normal that i might be going crazy?

For the past few weeks, I have started to wonder if I'm going crazy. I have no one to talk to about this, no one would understand. I sleep very little if I do at all. The voice in my head, Nny, tells me to calm down and think straightly. I also might have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. This might explain why I dislike being around people. Please tell me that I'm not the only one going through something like this.

    Hearing voices is not normal. It's a sign of schizophrenia. The anxiety part is normal, unless you let it restrict your activity, then you need a therapist.

    It's normal, well not exactly typical but normal. There have been times where I'll hear voices like 20 times a day but I still function and would probably appear sane to people most of the time. I am able to function fine and after a while it isn't even something that bothers me. As far as the not wanting to be around people, I can kind of get that too as I can easily get sketched out by certain types of people at times. Sometimes anxiety about things can cause you to have trouble sleeping. Also, if the voice you are hearing is keeping you awake (e.g. it keeps talking to you as your trying to sleep) simply realizing that it cannot harm you and will not harm you will likely make it so that you will not be alarmed by it and won't startle awake when you hear it. At least, this works for me, if I start to hear things as I'm falling asleep (this happens to me a lot) this approach prevents me from being kept awake by it. It sounds like this particular voice that you hear is trying to help you with being able to overcome your fears and realize that they are irrational. For me, I actually listen to the strange things that I hear in my head and this has actually been beneficial to me in some ways

    Yes, past few weeks I have the same issues. I think it's some sort of general external influence (therefore temporary - I hope)

    You are most definitely not alone. I have bipolar, OCD, and borderline personality disorder.
