Hi,
I’m hoping someone can help and explain what’s going on with me.
I’ve been having symptoms that come and go. It’s the reason why I feel a little lost because I keep telling myself I can’t be that bad, maybe I’m over exaggerating so please can someone tell me what to do?
I’ve been having crying spells, I feel like I’m on the edge some days, like I’ll cry over small things but when I’m at work I’m okay, I’m pretty normal actually- I’m a nurse so it’s very busy and it’s distracting because I’m so focused on doing a good job that I’m fine but I’ve not been taking my breaks because when I do I get depressed because it gives me “time out”. Like I said, some days are better than others, but I’ll have thoughts of killing myself...there was only one day a couple of weeks ago where I felt in danger of doing it..I was crying and crying trying to find out what OTC medications I could take to end it all...it was only the thought of leaving my mum alone that stopped me. She doesn’t deserve that kind of pain, she’s been through a lot.
I’ve been hearing voices occasionally, most recently last night. It’s as soon as I try to relax and close my eyes... never during the day... it’s like my head is full of a crowd of people, where voices sift in and out...it was so loud I couldn’t even think, it was like I really had to push the voices away, like in my head this is how it was:
Me: O...kay...
Voices: jaysjfjvygayukvtgjusdjrtfjvh WHAT ARE YOU DOING jsubishtgusydigyfugf
Me: I... need...
Voices: STAR COMMAND I REPEAT STAR COMMAND gsysusufyvicaryjfivifshyih
Me: to...go....to....
Voices: Jsjddfgivyststbu HI HO SILVER AWAAAAAYYY hdygodfhj
Me: sleep
Mostly last night it was quotes from movies with some occasional shouting and talking random things, I have previously had voices where it’s just been random phrases.
I don’t think it’s schizophrenia because they don’t talk to me during the day and it’s all nonsense.
I get heart palpitations/very minor chest pain almost everyday and I have deleted social media as I don’t want to speak to friends. I also occasionally feel like I’m in a false reality, like I was looking at my mum a couple of days ago and she didn’t look real, but this lasted for a second or two.
What’s wrong with me?

I get it 100%. I try to live rapidly and without thinking. Try to care in minutes and don’t pay attention on voices.
This is no schizophrenia.
You feel responsibility and also connected.
You may feel the connection and other things.
Reality and unreality are part of us, do fear it.
Look in the eye.
I prayed a lot and went to church this helps.
I also said I live rapidly. I may not pay attention at many things though but I survive.
I wish you luck and strength in your job.
We are different and unique.
So if you are you this means that you are capable to go through this .
ReplyCould be stress related.
Might want to take time off and if you're seriously concern, speak to a professional in psychology and maybe they can help you.
Good luck
ReplyI to have same symptoms as you. Voices, fatal thoughts of suicide, cry spells. I've been labeled bipolar. Now the voices frighten me, constantly judging me causing self disgust and hatred. They keep me awake and cause me anxiety. Only advice I give you is it could be worse. I feel I hear them because my time is coming to an end. It's just my mind asking me to find peace before perishing. Whether it's true or not, time will tell. Wish you the best, hope everything works out for you. Truly
ReplyIt could be intrusive thoughts. I very well understand your angst. I'd suggest do anything and everything to keep yourself busy. It's great you're working so well, try to stay in touch with your friends, helps, trust me. And with time, you will indeed not hear those voices.
Replysounds like extreme anxiety , and not sleeping well, not eating good, stop caffeine, do you take any kind of pills, Sleeping or vitamins pills? Our brain is a mistery, you are not crazy, you are sensitive to your surroundings, physical world and spiritual world, you work at a hospital with people, your spirit is sentive, sometimes we do need meds maybe not long term, I've had feelings like feeling out of control my mind rushing, and voices, doctors have medical names and terms for people like us, this how I can explain to you, whenever you feel like that do a prayer, learn a prayer that you can repeat to your self psalm 27, even if you're not religious, my son hears voices since he was like 5 or 6 and now he rarely has episodes like that, train your brain, the brain is crazy, take care of your body but also your mind, your are not crazy, us humans are all wire differently
