They start off as thought it's two people or more having an overlapping and verg fast conversation but I can't understand what they are saying because theyre mumbling. The voices get angrier and louder until it becomes almost auditory and they suddenly stop. The experiences usually happen for 3 - 5 minutes at a time. I'm not usually particularly worried or anxious at the time, quite the opposite. I don't see things or anything, just the angry muffled voices. They are very intrusive and very frightening. I remember having dreams at night exactly the same as these experiences throughout my life as well. I'm guessing they were night terrors because I'd wake up in a cold sweat with the voices still there a little bit. Like I said, never lasts for long and only like once a year.</P> Fri, 10 Aug 2018 00:03:46 GMT Lee_Miller 2018-08-10T00:03:46Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/voices-in-my-head/m-p/405453#M30697 <P>I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences to me.</P> <P>Ever since I was young I remember very rarely (like once a year.. maybe less) having these experiences where I will be sitting or lying down and I will get whispering muffled voices in my head.

The cold sweats and waking up scared out of our wits is ugly. I used to have chronic anxiety and have these vile night terrors as my adrenaline was pumping too much. </P> <P>If it ever starts to have an effect on your day to day functionality it is a serious matter however in your situation this wouldnt apply as they are so infrequent. Having a double appointment with your GP can give us peace of mind too as they have greater understanding re night terrors that when I was going through it.</P> <P>If you have any queries there are heaps of gentle people that have suffered from similar issues that can be here for you too <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> <P>my kind thoughts</P> <P>Paul</P> Fri, 10 Aug 2018 02:50:23 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/voices-in-my-head/m-p/405454#M30698 blondguy 2018-08-10T02:50:23Z
