hearing things

there was only one time it happened to me, but for period of about two or three weeks (don't remember if i knew if i was manic or not; wasn't connecting this to bp) i heard voices. in my room, at the mall, at work, i heard people whispering things to me. and sometimes it was just sounds but nothing had made the sound. idk, i didn't pay much attn to it until my therapist said something about one of her other patients.

anyone else experience this?

I have experienced hearing things. Usually a load snap or pop that startles the p**p out of me, but no one else heard it. Embarassing.

When a hypo starts I hear mumbling voices, can't understand them. Sounds like people talking at a party outside the room.

lol! I've had the jumbled voices. can never make them out thank goodness because having someone talk to me that wasn't there would scare the crap out of me! lol.

ok...I don't admit this often, but mommy2ethan's post about a presence reminded me of something I went through. I have always been freaked out easily and for some unknown reason a friend and I thought it would just be hysterical to scare ourselves silly by going to see that Emily Rose movie a couple years ago...the "true" story about a possessed girl. Oh my goodness! It was so bad I left the theater early lol! I couldn't get the images out of my head. Not to give the movie away or anything, I don't think this is, but in the movie 3am is when all the bad stuff would start to happen. well one night I woke up and was hearing noises in the basement. I look over at the clock and it's shortly after 3am. I'm sure it was just the water heater or whatever but I freaked! I made my dad drive over at 3am and when he got here I ran to the door with my bible and wearing a rosary. LOL! I have never lived that story down. This continued for quite a while. This is so embarassing, but I'll keep going. I have the rosary now on my headboard, crosses...mini ones though, in every room, and the topper...a bottle of holy water in my dresser next to the bed. Yeah...I don't watch anything scary anymore...I can't even watch law and order because I get paranoid that I'll be attacked or murdered or something. So now if anyone felt crazy before reading this I'm sure everyone feels better about themselves. Glad I could help. lol

My first Pdoc diagnosed me with Scizophrenia because I made the mistake of telling him that it sounded as if my fridge was whispering to me. It was actually the motor in the fridge that was making weird noises and certain times, and because I was home alone in a new house, it kinda freaked me out. When I started seeing this new Pdoc, he diagnosed me with Bipolar II.  I sometimes hear slight whispers but I find that I talk to myself alot, oh yeah, I talk to my cats all the time too....my husband thinks I'm looney....and I tell him confidently " yes I am!" LOL

i talk to my dogs so much now that my ex isn't with me all the time... i'm turning into that lonely old woman who lives alone with like 1000 dogs and who's never been married.

before i got on meds, i thought everyone on the subway/streetcar could read my mind, and i would hear all these voices that i thought were their thoughts. when i started celexa, the voices went away.

everytime i see my shrink, he asks me if i'm hearing voices. and i say 'no, am i supposed to?'

hehe doesn't everyone talk to their animals? :) now, talking to PLANTS ... well, THATS a little looney. ;)
