    is it just your contience your hearing because i hear that? Is it usually after you do something you feel bad or guilty about? If so it is normal.If not you should'nt be ashamed you should seek medical help.Don't be afraid you could benefit from it.

  • you might have some form of mental illness or it might be a neurological/physical problem. you might want to see a neurologist or a psychiatrist.

    whatever you decide to do though, you shouldn't be ashamed of your problem. there is nothing to be ashamed of.

  • If they are relatively harmless content wise, maybe your not insane. The fact that you say you think you may lose control is kind of worrying though. I personally hear things like that at night as I go to sleep but it doesn't bother me or make me feel like I am on the verge of losing control. it just is what it is and I feel ok with it. if you feel like your losing control you should talk to someone about it. they wont do anything that will be of harm to you, just maybe give you meds for it if need be since you say you feel out of control

    You might suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, you should really pay the neurologist a visit just to make sure.
    Schizophrenia is not the only thing that causes people to hear voices (sleep deprivation can cause it too), but it is a VERY serious threat to your mental health so you should really tell your doctor about it to either rule it out or find adequate treatment.
    Hope you will be better soon!

    Assuming from you're story that it IS the truth. It sounds like schizophrenia. It's not what you'd say normal, but it's known, so that's definitely a plus. You can get treated and it would work - the medications they put you on....or you could deal with it like John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind."

    i dont know if u should starting believing the voices, if u are finding it hard to sleep due to voices, oyu coudl try a radio on as you try to go to sleep? maybe you coudl drown them out, i must a few years ago i was hearing voices i also knew the difference between reality and not reality, they have gone now they past, it could be caused by stress, i had a lot of stress due to "nasty" ppl, if it persists, i would recommend speaching to a doc

    *ignore the name i have, was for other thread. :)

    If you hear people you knows' voices in your head when you are around them... Ever thought of Psychic abilities? I can feel peoples' emotions all the time and can tell when things are about to go wrong...

    "is it just your contience your hearing because i hear that? Is it usually after you do something you feel bad or guilty about? If so it is normal."

    If you are actually HEARING voices instead of just debating yourself internally, that is most definitely NOT normal.

    However, hearing voices is a known problem. It isn't normal, but it isn't something to be very worried about. See a neurologist about it.

    You might be schizofranic its not something you should hide from your family they would only help you in the long run try talking to your doctor about it and maybe there is medication you can take also pot would be a bad idea becaues it causes shizofrania in some people. Good luck

    There is a medical term for what you have. I can't remember the name though. There's nothing wrong with you. Tell your doctor, it is a common thing.
