I just had a meeting with my CPN and a highly annoying guy who works with high risk people. He spent almost two hours talking about stress and how it affects the body, saying that he is almost positive that is what is causing my symptoms.
People are watching the house. The voice tells me I have special powers and this is why I am able to hear the voice; these people want to take me away because of it. I can't take my medication because the hospital are just using it as a means to poison me because they are sick of me using the mental health services. People can read my thoughts if I make eye contact with them when I go outside the house.
He told me this was all "skewed thinking" and that it's being caused by stress. I told him about the voice I hear and he said it's a textbook description of a voice caused by stress. He has asked me to try talking out loud next time I hear it; what exactly does he expect to happen?
I'm sorry but this meeting has left me feeling very annoyed and blown off. I'm not stressed in the slightest, i'm depressed and anxious over hearing things that aren't there. I'm not stressed.
I know how you feel. Doctors have tried that one on me before. They're rubbish.
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
Have they asked you to speak out loud to the voice and see what happens? I don't get what he's getting at. What happens if you reply to the voices Oly?
I end up having a conversation with the People. In fact I do it many times a day. When I'm walking I talk to them and they talk back. Doctor says they're "voices" but I am really skeptical because these People are real.
Anyway.
I don't understand what he's getting at either. Did he tell you to say anything in particular?
Problem with such "professionals" is that they think they know everything when they don't.

He said say anything, just vocalise something, even the lyrics from a song and see what happens. I only hear this voice sometimes, I don't know if he has a name, and I've never tried to talk back - just drown it out with music usually.
Well you could talk to them but I doubt it would do anything. Most probably they'll just shout back.
I talk about how I feel with the People and the Woman and I talk to John about maths problems, Fred about physics related stuff and Alex about chemistry. Alex gets angry if I am reading chemistry but not concentrating properly. John makes me feel better when I feel like I can't do the maths.

Well not specifically but when voices are bad they tend not to respond too well when you talk to them. I don't know.

I had this happen to me once to...untill it actually happened right infront of them and I was just like can you hear that....and then they told me to talk back but I was to afraid to so then they got really funny
I probably not going to help by saying this but i was told that is why i was hearing voices a while ago cos of stressed and as soon as the stress went and i was doing better they went away...
I only hear them now when i am stressed.... but i wouldn't believe him.. but after realising that is the cause of the voices i have accepted them and now when i am stressed and hear the voices i know why they are there and it helps me to know i am stressed... if that makes sense...

Stellata, i'm not really under any stress but I told him the voice comes mainly when im tired and upset.
Don't worry helper it hasn't made me angry. I'm just worried I don't know whats going on and the word schizophrenia has been mentioned. I'm worried is all.
It is scary, but you will be ok. I know things will come out fine.

it can happen because of stress. i am told that it happens to me because of stress. it's still a chemical imbalance, and should be taken seriously. all i can say is, well, i must be stressed all the time, then! i admit though, it does seem worse when i'm stressed. not all the time, though.
i wonder if you're concerned about it being dismissed as stress because you're worried you won't be taken seriously. i am, sometimes. it's a reasonable fear, too. understandable. but it's no excuse for the mental health team to not give you the help and support you need.
Y'know sometimes they can be right.
Just because you don't feel stressed it doesn't mean you're not.
I'm not saying they're right, but everyone thinks voices = psychosis/something serious/another medical condition etc. When they can be down to more simple reasons.
Doctors can be annoying but they can also be right.

When i was eating my dinner i was thinking this and was going to write it... But craola has beaten me to it...
I've heard voices only a couple of times in my life. The first time was when I was unbearably stressed at/about work, the second time was when I was left alone with a situation that triggered all my worst PTSD nightmares inside my mind.
I don't have psychosis, but I border on it when under stress. [hence my paranoia also].
Well I guess I am a little worried about being taken seriously, I guess it just sounded like they thought it was nothing at all when talking about stress.
I shall try what they have recommended so far. Also they will be doing some work with me to identify and lower stress levels so i'm told.
