Voice

So I have a voice in my head, it's pretty much another person who comments on everything I think and do and reminds me of things which sets off flashbacks, for example. Even writing this, telling people about it is extremely hard and I suddenly get this really ill feeling when I go against the voice. It used to be very minor but over the last month or two it seems to be getting worse and worse.
I feel stupid writing this and asking about it but I just wanted to know if I went to hospital about it...what should I sort of expect?

I finally told my psych a couple of weeks ago about the voices I hear. It used to be just one like you describe but have had a recent addition over the summer. I knew, like you, that they shouldn't be there. It was actually helpful as she seemed to believe me but was able to reassure me that they weren't psychotic, however, the new meds she has put me on will hopefully help - anti-psychotic. Something called pseudo-hallucinations which to me sounds pathetic, especially given the hassle and trouble they give me. Anyway, my point is, it was such a relief to tell them and for them not to overreact - they hear far worse things day in and day out. Do you have a psych? If not, you could always tell your GP or similar.

I've already told you.
See if your local hospital can give you a psych consult.
If not, go to your GP on Monday.

I'm not sure if you would be admitted over that, beds are very scarce. I've had problems with a narrating voice like you describe, before. I think you should do as said above, see your GP and see if you can be reffered to a psych who you can tell this to. I'm sure you would get help about it.

As long as they're not telling you hurt yourself or other people, they may not admit you, but you never know. If you don't have a psychiatrist, talk to your doctor and they may try to get you into a psych ASAP, especially if it's getting worse. I know how scary this is. I heard them a few years ago. I knew they weren't real, but it's creepy. Actually, I sort of halfway believed they were real. I thought they were either demons inside or me or hallucinations, but I did firmly believe that there was a boy killed in my shower and freaked out whenever I took one. I was just put on anti-depressants without an anti-psychotic and they went away and didn't come back even when I switched meds.

depends where you are, to be honest. the team where i am don't have a problem with my hearing stuff like that, and they only really admit people to hospital if they're a danger to others or have already done something and need physical treatment. but some authorities/people can react much more and make a bigger deal of it than it it is for you. bottom line, if you want help with it, you need to tell someone, but i wouldn't like to predict what response you'll get. good luck
