Hearing Things
Hello.
I need some advice…
I've been having some trouble hearing things that aren't there?
Background: I am currently in therapy for generalized anxiety, depression, and OCPD. I am not taking any medication for any of these disorders. I have had my hearing checked in the last six months. My hearing tests came back well, showing that while my hearing is a little on the low side, there are no major problems with it.
So. Lately, within the last month or so, I've been hearing things? Like… under other sounds?
Like, there's a lot of loud equipment at my work and under the sound of the machines I could hear cats meowing.
Or, I have music that I listen to at night to help me sleep and sometimes I hear voices whispering on the CD under the music?
Or, If I'm in the shower with the water going I could hearing someone knocking at my door.
But when I turn the water off, or the music off it stops?
It's really freaking me out and I'm sure it's just stress and I plan on asking my therapist about it when I see them next.
Does anyone else have this problem? How do you handle it? It's really really scaring me and I'm not sure how to make it stop?
Thank you.
