Voices in my head

[Lee_Miller]

I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences to me.

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. 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.

Hello Lee

Welcome thankyou for being a part of the forums too!

I understand you where the night terrors are concerned and they are awful to have. 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.

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.

If you have any queries there are heaps of gentle people that have suffered from similar issues that can be here for you too 🙂

my kind thoughts
