If you find this let me know with a 🐝 and tell me how lol
Internal and external auditory hallucinations can both happen in psychiatric and psychotic disorders like schizophrenia and the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder fun fun. Mental health awareness!
I don't hear voices. I hear musical hallucinations
me too, its weird. for me its like piano voices and weeeeeird voice
Same. Always the same song too
i do, too! but i also hear voices lol. but nothing they ever say makes sense. usually they just say one or two words like: "Thursday Casserole" or "hotdog hotdog" or "MINECRAFT"
Man thus bus is taking so long *motzart plays*
SAME!! Sometimes it’ll be like 3 A.M and i’m alone in my room and i’ll hear Wannabe by the Spice Girls or something randomly playing and I know it’s not actually playing but it sounds like it could very well be because its at a different volume than all my other thoughts or something
I don't have schizophrenia but I do get auditory internal hallucinations (hypnagogic?) sometimes when I'm about to go to sleep - I'm still awake but its like my brain has started dreaming before I do. The most common one I get is 'chatter' like in a playground or a busy supermarket and only a few words are distinct. I can't imagine what it would be like to get auditory hallucinations all the time...
Yes! Hypnagogic is the right word! I get those as well, almost every night and I call them the “great multitude” I hear right before I nod off. For me they are different than the waking ones. Thanks for sharing!
I get those too and honestly I love them. They lull me to sleep
Your telepathic ability is developing.
I get those too! I usually feel staticky or like the room is spinning and hear distant chatter like being in a crowded room.
Oh shit I didn’t know there was a word for it I just wrote out a whole comment about how I have this same thing I thought I was just weird 😂 it only happens when I’m home alone and falling asleep though never when people are in the house or my fiancé is in bed next to me and mine are like usually loud startling noises that make me wake up and have to go check my surroundings before I can try to go back to sleep mine are definitely not soothing lol
I have never seen internal hallucinations talked about, but this is something I have struggled with for almost 15 years!! Thank you for bringing light to it, it makes me feel so happy knowing I'm not alone in this!! ❤️
Happy to help!
There are meds for this!
I have something similar with DID. I have internal monologue, but also other voices. They are their own people, however, and in my system, largely work together (which is why it took so long to find out). It can get noisy in a way if too many people try and talk at once, but there's also no explosion of "i wasn't expecting that" with a scary hallucination. It's like someone just saying something offhand. Sometimes i inquire if the thought is mine, and get a reply if it is or isnt.
whenever I get too tired, I start hearing very loud music (not necessarily rave music - just songs I like turned up very loud) and random soundbites (usually the voices of people I know) inside my head. It's like it takes over my internal monologues and keeps me from thinking. But as a way for my body to say "go the fuck to sleep!", it's very successful. Whenever I start hearing music, I know it's time to sleep.
this doesnt happen to everyone?????? oh my god
@@LizzylovesLobo auditory hallucinations can happen to anyone if they're sleep deprived enough (the general idea is it takes between 48 to 72 hours of no sleep to start hallucinating). But for me it happens based on how drowsy I am, not necessarily how long it's been since I slept. I don't think it's anything concerning. If you start hallucinating outside of that tiredness though, maybe talk to a professional.
I hear snippets of daily life noises. Sneezes and coughs when I'm alone. Soda cans being opened. The noises of drawers being opened. Subway noises. The microwave noises.
Also I often feel my cat brushing past my legs, me bumping my foot or something falling on my foot, even when laying down
@@centrifugedestroyer2579 YES i hear noises like that but super loud, but this only happens when im tired (not necessarily 48 hours sleepless but just sleepy in general) and its SUPER loud!! it will be music snip bits or just like a cymbal clashing noise
Whoa me too
How do you differentiate an internal hallucination is differentiated from your overall internal monologue and intrusive thoughts? I'm a psych PhD student and I personally can't conceptualize that since I don't experience hallucinations, but am interested as to how people make the distinction.
Im interested to know too! My guess would be that internal monologue and intrusive thoughts are somewhat controllable while hallucinations may not be, but that's kinda boring
I think the difference is that the auditory hallucinations (at least for me) seem like they come out of no where and also are more... concrete than regular thinking. But idk if that's official or anything
As someone with osdd, they sound different, *feel* different, even if it's something I'd say.
When you begin to experience them, it's incredibly difficult to differentiate, and you'll ask "why did I think that?". It's almost like they don't sound different.
Though after years of experience, it gets easier and easier to see the difference, but sometimes, it's hard to. You'll ask "did *I* think that?" and you might not even find a clear answer.
But those events rarely happen for me after about a decade of this, maybe a few times a month at most. Your brain just gets used to picking apart every tiny difference and does it automatically- albeit, sometimes failing, whcih results in you thinking your thoughts aren't your own.
Still, for me, those instances are evem rarer than the ones of me mistaking internal hallucinations as my internal monologue, or being unsure of it.
Though, idk if you'd consider osdd/did/udd a mental disorder thay experiences internal auditory hallucinations, as the different parts are not just personalities, but often have different sets of memory and identity as well.
You can control monologue whereas those other voices are like people you can fucking argue with. They also will not sound like you, my intrusive thoughts are still in my voice whereas the other voices all have their own unique voices & seemingly their own personalities, for me at least. Part of why I shut down in extreme stress is because all the voices, the monologue, the intrusive thoughts give me a sensory overload.
@@zephyrdian2408 so real w/ the sensory overload from it all. Like aaaugh.
🤍🤍
Thank you so much for talking about this! Schizoid disorders aren't talked about enough
Thank you for putting words to everything I'm experiencing. I have this all of the time and when I tell people it like a voice in my head that's not mine telling me to do, some admittedly awful, shit they all just say the same thing, that it's just my internal thoughts and stop trying to blame me having bad thoughts on some imaginary voice. But it really is just like someone grasping hold of my brain and implanting a thought in there and it doesn't just go away like an intrusive thought would, it's disturbing at its core and I think that's what people don't truly understand unless they've experienced it themselves
I have one voice that's external, and the rest of them are internal, and they've all named themselves. The external one is Arron. It's so cool to see people that deal with what I do, it's kinda comforting
None of us are alone!
At least you don't get punished for thinking about what they say or stuff like that
Yes same! My two main external ones are klaus and Rosa. There’s too many internally to differentiate names, but they all sound different and have different speech patterns.
You might have (or not, I'd still recommend you looking it up) OSDD and alters, if they feel like a different personality commenting on your day to day activities
I am glad you talked about the types of auditory hallucinations. Thanks.
Glad to help!
I deal with internal auditory hallucinations and that's exactly how I'd explain it. it's different than my regular Intrusive thoughts and it doesn't sound like my internal monolog. it's completely different, as if someone else is in my head.
I thought I heard someone from the other side of the room say something super mean but he was out of sight and there’s no way to know what he said was real or in my head and it’s still freaking me out even tho it’s probably been over a month since
yeah talk to someone, hope everything is ok
If you don't have a history of mental illness it's more likely to be a spiritual attack. Was it happening at the same time as fear, do you suffer from sleep paralysis? If so ifit happens again call the name of Jesus Christ. If it is spiritual it will cease. If you don't believe in God, what have you to lose by trying?
@@silverkay-cx4iy it’s 100% not jesus
@@silverkay-cx4iyThat is some of the worst advice I’ve ever read. You don’t need to be spreading Christianity to someone who was just talking about a possible hallucination. What sect are you part of that you believe in spiritual attacks anyways?
I understand that feeling haha, half a year ago my mother used to use an egg clock which had this terrible ringing sound. It woke me up and she was slow to turn it off, and only did so when I was walking down the stairs.
I asked her to not use it again, as the sound genuinely kinda hurt and gave me heart palpitations. A short while later after going back to bed it started ringing again, and she didn't turn it off for a good 10 minutes or so, leading to me having something akin to a panic attack? Maybe a mild one, mine are usually way worse, though I did cry a bunch and had trouble breathing.
Later I asked her, exhausted, why she left it ringing like that after I specifically told her how I couldn't handle it and was having a bad day. Turns out she had immediately listened and put it away, there was no reason to set an alarm anyway as her food was already ready by the time I asked her. Feels a bit freaky considering my reaction to something that simply didn't happen!
I have both, but mainly internal. When I get external it makes me paranoid. I will start checking the driveway to make sure someone isn't driving up and stuff like that. The longer it goes though, the easier things get to sort out.
Hey, sorry, probably a dumb question and you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but is it easier or harder to tell that an internal auditory hallucination is a hallucination than that an external auditory hallucination is a hallucination? I've only experienced hallucinations as a part of sleep deprivation and they were all external, visual, and very neutral in mood, so I could figure out they were hallucinations by touching them and reminding myself what things exist in real life because the hallucinations could be very dream like, missing all detail and sort of void like or shadowy. Like I don't know if you can use your other senses if it's inside your head, I don't know how that would work, but I guess you could think like it's not my thought, it's not internal monologue/dialogue, it's not a memory, so it's the hallucination?
Pretty sure I get the outer ones sometimes. Mine are mostly explosions or crashes. I'm so used to it now that my friend screamed in her sleep next to me and my brain was just like "meh, just more head noise" wanna I kept sleeping
I think I've only had hallucinations once, and they were auditory external hallucinations as I was falling asleep/trying to sleep on the couch. I kept hearing the sound of a dog's paws on our stairs as if a dog was coming downstairs to greet me, at least twice, and when I opened my eyes there was obviously nothing of the sort (we only own 1 cat).
Then as I tried to fall back asleep and repeating to myself that any dog sounds were just dreams/hallucinations, I started hearing human footsteps coming towards me, even heard the sound of the door getting unlocked. After that twice (and once feeling the pressure of the person's weight on the couch) I noped the f out of there and went to the bedroom, followed by the cat. I spent about an hour awake on my phone until I passed out from tiredness... haven't had the experience since, thankfully, because it was really creepy.
I'm also VERY grateful that I was grown-up enough to know about hallucinations and to rationalize this, because it made it far less scary. Had I been younger or less informed, I think I would've cried from fear thinking the house was haunted...
If it usually happens during sleep/around nighttime and stuff it might be related to exploding head syndrome, wherein loud crashes and explosion hallucinations happen when a person is falling asleep and/or wakes up. I think it’s a subtype of hypnogogic hallucinations, which occur when falling asleep and waking up. I get those occasionally, along with rare very minor hallucinations during the day (bug like things and false tactile experiences (usually false pressure or movement)).
yesyed i struggle the most with internal . external ones are less voices nd more sounds , like things walking around in my house & opening my doors / drawers / rustling around in my utensils etc . the internal ones always confused me because i already deal with intrusive thoughts nd thought it was a weird internal monologue even though they always felt / sounded different from my actual thoughts & regular intrusive thoughts . thank you for making this video ! i have some sort of achizoaffective disorder , still getting tested . has been getting worse since i turned 19/20
My head plays music in my head way too loud all day, apparently internal hallucinations 😂
Yikes, that must really suck. I think I have auditory hallucinations sometimes, but they're small and rare enough to be pretty normal, though one time i remember hearing whispering coming from inside the walls of my home, and being so scared that i took a knife while i searched through my home. It was a few years ago but it was a really bad experience, especially given i was like twelve at the time
I used to have frequent external auditory hallucinations, especially when I was home alone which was a big fear of mine at the time (i think they lessened because in general my anxiety was getting better) and a couple years ago I was home alone and I hallucinated a break in it was genuinely the most terrifying thing that's ever happened to me (or not happened to me i guess????)
@@nyandoesthings oh gods i am so sorry that must have been so fucking terryfing. I am very happy to have gotten prescribed ocd meds (the only thing my old disrespectful gaslighting bastard of a psychiatrist ever did) before anything like that could have happened.
3 weeks into accutane I had a voice in my head and it was unlike anything, it was so scary. It was really like stranger was speaking inside my mind.
Hold up… you mean to tell me that little dude in my head who I cannot control the thoughts of and who’s just kinda there, telling me random shit or trying to convince me to do things… is a hallucination?? I thought he was just my mind, like the internal monologue people talk about. Hearing The ‘a thought you can’t control’ part of this video is what caught me off guard. Huh… I’m still believing he’s just my brain being a brain, I’m not hallucinating :]
Same, I have a lil goblin running around in my brain😭
Same, I got like a few little people who give me lotta different opinions in my head
internal monologue is just like an external monologue but without going through with actually speaking. What you're talking about is mental chatter at best, and really if it's a consistent voice then it's either a persistent hallucination or another mental "person"
It's not a disorder, it's not rare, but it's not normal healthy brain function either.
you might have osddid, i would look into it
I’ve been looking for words to describe my auditory hallucinations! It’s internal hallucinations. Thank you
Can you make a video sharing how internal auditory hallucination differs from an intrusive thought? I have been trying to distinguish.
If I had to take a guess, an intrusive thought, feels like something YOU thought of, invading voice that is not exactly you, but feels like you. The other is like replaying a movie in your head, the actors are talking, but you don't control it you just hear it.
All I can say is… stay tuned on the channel ;)
@@SchizoKitzo I will definitely do that!
From my experience, the difference is very identical to listening to something with earbuds, Vs unwanted thoughts! Earbuds are much more disruptive, random and obvious very loud and incapable of being redirected.
While intrusive thoughts are more linear, while not overlapping with external noise and more like your brain puts a very extreme internal monologue on blast.
Personally internal hallucinations can be of any content, even very menial things, but are mush more frightening as it's like there's a loud speaker in your skull. Intrusive thoughts are horrible by nature but can be addressed though coping skills, while the internal halluction is more chemical and random
@@mspaint93 you did an incredible job describing this! Thanks!
This!!! I was in an IOP for a while for many reasons but also because my therapist thought that my internal auditory hallucinations could be a sign of a dissociative disorder like DID, especially because I was experiencing thought insertion delusions as well. Took me 6 months til I was out of IOP for a Google search to tell me more than a psychiatrist ever did that I was just hallucinating internally
they're somehow equally terrifying but in completely different ways 😭😭😭
This is news to me. I definitely have internal hallucinations, it's just hard to tell what is and what isnt. I've had entire conversations in my head and I can finally understand what's going on.
I used to have auditory hallucinations when I was younger. I think I even had both kinds. When in a really crowded area with a lot of noise, whenever I talked, I'd hear the same words impossibly infinitely slowed down. Uts hard to explain. I'd also imagine a black background with a weird face kinda like frylock from athf saying the words back to me when this happened. When I tried to focus on the words I was hearing it would go away.
Also I'd have external ones really often where I'd hear my mom come home from work or such things but she wasnt there yet. (Those could be me misinterpreting someone else coming back in the house and thinking it was my .om but I also remember hearing her in the kitchen when she wasnt there.)
I have hallucinations caused by a delusional disorder(my old psychiatrist believed at least.We never 100% figured out if that was all but beside the point) and DID (dissociative identity disorder) and its so hard to tell if i have internal auditory hallucinations too or if its just other alters talking or a mix. I do have external auditory hallucinations(like people calling my name who arent there, being talked to by seemingly nothing, hearing thigns move that dont) along with visual(shadows normally or bvgs) and tactical(? Feels like things touch me in some way(brush against me, touch me arms/legs/hair) or move things on me) ones.
Thank you for sharing! It definitely helps me not feel alone or 'crazy' or anything.
((So sorry, half asleep and incapable of existing properly right now. Sorry if this made no sense))
I(Kinta) have the same issue. This goes deep.
So, I have the basic ones where I hear my name or ppl talking. I also have either DID or OSDD1b, and don't consider the others in the head talking as hallucinations. BUT, I(Kinta) will hallucinate them talking when they're not. I(Kinta) will have full conversations with myself(Kinta); not another alter, me, and regardless if fronting or not. Kat has been distracted numerous times while fronting by me just having a full conversation with no one in the headspace.
I get some external auditory hallucinations when going to sleep and sometimes when waking up. It's really interesting to hear about internal hallucinations as I haven't experienced them at all before.
thank you SO much for this. i’ve been dealing with these primarily at night, it’s like my mind is having some huge conversation with itself?? it takes ages for me to fall asleep, and trips me out because i can’t *hear* it. thank you lots.
Thanks for explaining!❤️❤️ really appreciate when people explaining those things for me to understand youre perspective and experience ❤️❤️
How can to tell them apart from an internal monologue/thoughts? Not trying to be rude ^^’
Thank you for sharing and educating 🤗❤️
I dont know why, but when i get distracted these fake backround noises surround me until i become aware if them and i can just turn them off
I just realized I’ve experienced this. I never talked about it or anything because it doesn’t happen very often, but I thought it didn’t count since it wasn’t out loud and never told anyone. Thanks for the video bro.
I struggle with these and everyone discounts them as intrusive thoughts, it wasn’t until I had a full psychotic breakdown and was put in a psych ward for a month and properly diagnosed that people began to look at it differently. My parents still can’t wrap their heads around it sometimes, and my stepdad thinks “it’s just something everyone deals with” when they’re not. I have an internal monologue. I have intrusive thoughts. I have internal voices as well. I know the difference between all three but if you haven’t experienced it, you won’t ever know what it’s like. It’s extremely frustrating, and yet I have never heard anyone else talk about it. Thank you for sharing this with the world, maybe now people will get it.
I'm not hallucinating but it is upsetting to me that I hear voices as I try to sleep. It's not just normal stuff. It's screaming, being scolded, bad people calling my name. I wake up immediately feeling scared. I don't know why but at the same time I do.
This is something I rarely see talked about! Most of my auditory hallucinations, even intrusive voices, are internal hallucinations
I have never met anyone with the same thing as I have. It’s nice to come across your clips.
I’ve been in Mental Health meetings for the last 7ths 2times a month an keep handful of friends around me.
Not everyone understands this type of diagnosis.
Best wishes to you!
Best wishes to you too!
I have auditory hallucinations. It's the mammot from MSM and it pisses me off. I get so angry when I hear him
Ive had external hallucinations when it gets to quiet in my room of my mom or someone calling my name from another room and it had scared the crap out of me at times.
How do you differentiate them from internal monologue and intrusive thoughts?
To put it in simple words
Internal monologue is just yοur mind yapping.
Intrusive thoughts are quite scary to have (especially when yοu don't realise they are intrusive thoughts) because yοur mind tells you stuff like "what if yοu [insert hοrrible thing that yοu'd never would do/want]?" And that can make you feel like you're a bad persοn even though they aren't yοur actual feeling/desire/belief. It can happen to everyone but is usually most intense for people with ocd from what I've heard.
Thank you for sharing, love the video❤
Wow thank you for sharing your experience!
Love the hair bow! Its so cute!
I've had both! You can definitely tell the difference. I've been lucky enough to be fully aware that they are "hallucinations."
I've never heard of internal auditory hallucinations!! definitely would explain a few experiences of mine. thank you for sharing and educating people
I often hear random loud noises and i always have to check
Both would be terrifying, but the internal would make me feel like someone had invaded my head. I would go insane.
Thanks for answering that. I've always wondered but it seemed like a personal sort of thing so I've never asked it of anyone.
I experience minor visual hallucinations with my migraines. Usually it's just floating colors and shapes (like when you close your eyes and press on them- those but over the top of regular vision), or a sort of static-y overlay to everything, but it can get kind of freaky when I start seeing things zip away quickly out of the corner of my eye, like something is "hiding" from me. Thankfully all of mine have a sort of "unreal" quality to them- they're slightly transparent and don't interact with the physical world quite right- so it's easier to tell that they're not there. Still annoying if I have to actually do anything that requires my attention, but not too disruptive on their own
Thank you! This is such important information.
Never been diagnosed with anything related to it but occasionally when I wake up I have a visual hallucination. It's hard to describe because most of the time it's only there for maybe 10 seconds, but it sort of looks like The Faun from Pan's Labyrinth shape wise and it's really goddamn weird (it's sometimes paired with a tactile hallucination of standing on grass)
Distinguishing between internal halucinations and DID must be really hard as a psychiatrist!
Finally someone explains the difference!!
Oh my god thank you for talking about this because i thought i was just crazy for the voices and the images in my head because i didnt hear or see things outside of my head enough but had them in my head just as badly and now i know thats also still hallucinations and i can bring that up to a doctor now,,,
Good luck with your doctor!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Oh my god me too!!! I have never seen anyone with this type of hallucination I have, I have schizo-affective disorder but I have never seen anyone else with it or with the same type of Hallucinations!
You have just validate my experience after years of people telling me internal hallucinations are not a thing. How could I argue… of course now I would like to treat them so …. Yeah
When my insomnia gets really bad I get almost like listening into radio chatter on one channel off internal hallucinations
Does the voices being inside your head make them easier to identify as hallucinations?
Yeah kinda!
I don't have a condition that gives me these normally, but one time after a long shift, I could hear the beeping that our machine would make when an order needed to be clocked out. I think it was external, but I was just too freaked out. Props to you for sharing about this. Even if it was a one-time thing for me, I am comforted knowing that it wasn't something no one would understand.
I learned new things today, thanks for sharing 😊
I dodged the schizophrenia bullet, but when I was younger I would hear "someone" call my name in my head most days, unattached to any typical thoughts I was having.
i had a hypnagogic hallucination (hallucination that can happen while falling asleep) and part of it was hearing voices internally. because i was so out of it there was a split second where i thought “oh my god what if they don’t go away”. i always knew constantly hearing things had to be awful but in that moment i actually experienced a couple minutes of it and it’s even worse than i thought. my heart goes out to everyone who goes through regular/constant hallucinations because y’all are tough asf
This is so strange! I'm bipolar, and have had psychotic(?) episodes before where I've had auditory hallucinations, but they've always been external! I can't imagine what it's like to have them in your head. Although I don't particularly like having external ones because people like to tell me that it's probably just a real noise I heard and mistook for something else ☹️
Thank you for talking about this, I deal with internal auditory hallucinations. Not voices but random loud noises mostly
Sometimes i do get extrenal auditory hallucinations where a family member or someone with a familiar voice is calling my name
this is actually very common and normal!
Yea this! It’s totally normal!
I would hear random explosions besides the voices of various personalities. I was also poked in the eye so much that it actually hurt. I also had spiders running around in my head. If you ever watched the Ceelo Green video “I remember when” that came out years later it was a pretty accurate depiction of what that was like.
Sometimes, when I'm really tired, I think one of my family members are calling me for help from across the house. This doesn't happen as often anymore, but knowing the terms is a pretty neat note to make
Um so when I hear my grandma’s voice in the room when she’s not there im hallucinating…huh cool 😎
You got your work cut out for you lass. Stay brave ❤
I don’t have any of the disorders commonly associated with hallucinations, but they happen to me pretty regularly anyways, especially when I have migraines. My auditory hallucinations are external, but they’re pretty mundane. Doors opening or closing, knocking, lights turning on and off, my phone ringing or buzzing. Sometimes I think I hear my dad’s footsteps or voice, even though he passed away 7 years ago now. Tbh, the only time I really hate them is when I hear my own voice screaming during flashbacks.
I'm pretty sure (+90% sure) that I don't have any condition that would cause internal hallucinations, but sometimes I just vividly and uncontrollably hear (internally) a voice call out my name or say a sentence (and sometimes even a full vivid scene comes to mind) and it drives me crazy. They're not even mean or anything; I can't imagine having to deal with them on a regular basis, especially if they were demeaning or any more disorienting than they already are.
Edit: after watching your full video, I can say that they're definitely not psychotic voices because I can't converse with them, but they also like to repeat themselves a few times before disappearing, and I can't stop them. I'll just have my sister pop into my head and call out my name as if trying to wake me up, repeat it a few times, and leave.
I have these with insomnia and aleep apnea, and its as if youre wearing headphones and noise becomes rapidly apparent! Its incredibly distressing and prevents sleep, as its like theres someone very loudly begining to ramble in your eardrums. My most common one, for some reason is American baseball game commentary?... Im from NZ and know nothing about baseball lmao, and cant recall ever consuming US baseball media. Medication helps (mirtazpine) or hurts (quetapine sucks now).
oh wow i didnt know they were considered hallucinations! also is hearing voices exclusively happen from mental illness because i used to hear some but they stopped awhile back. they were the only things ive ever heard in my head that weren’t my own voice or music.
Not me going “Well at least no one else will hear them if they’re on the inside” 🤦🏼♀️
The ones inside can have their own voice, sound, speech pattern like someone speaking right inro your mind. It can be scary, especially when they seem to pop up randomly.
this is so validating cause why when i was 6 i used to hear a man's voice yelling at me to k1ll myself and then id cry from it💀
never thought it was bad because i knew it wasnt real, it didnt feel in the room with me so i thought it was just kind of normal
I don't officially have any particular disorder regarding this. But I definitely had lots of auditory hallucinations as a kid. Usually I could tell they were not sounds other people could hear, mostly music or key sounds from cartoons that I'd hear over and over.
I forgot about it since it's not something that comes up in conversation with people.
I did hear voices a few years ago, but it was in an area everyone was suddenly having some kind of hallucination (no one was on any drugs).
My boyfriend has APPD, and I found your channel randomly, but your videos helped me to understand more things about psychosis. But I still don't really understand how can I help him when he's having a meltdown with bunch of hallucinations and delusions..
i had a pseudo-psychotic episode in march that ended up with me needing to be hospitalised. for those who aren't that familiar with voice hearing and think it's exclusive to psychosis, schizophrenia, and other such disorders lemme explain:
i have adhd and anxiety and have been suffering from that for my entire life. the past few years have been very empty of human interactions for me and because i am an extrovert, my crippling loneliness and need for mental stimulation caused a part of my subconscious mind to start talking to me independent of the rest of my conscious stream of thought. this is classified as an internal auditory hallucination and it was very distressing for a period of several weeks. the cause was immense stress and my brain being overactive in this case, but pseudo-psychotic symptoms can develop for any number of reasons. i would love to go more in depth talking about this but it's a very complicated topic and i only have my individual experience to go off of :) i met and befriended a few schizophrenics while i was in the MHU as well and they were all very reassuring and wonderful people to be around
my hearing loss gives me auditory hallucinations o7
I have hallucinations of all kinds. Scent, taste, visual, auditory, and sensory. And sometimes those internal hallucinations are worse, because they are harder to escape... I am so sorry you have to deal with that.
I get hypnagogic internal auditory hallucinations, and it does feel like the sounds originate from outside of your mind even though they don’t feel external
I don't have a mental illness, but sometimes when I'm falling asleep I hear a male voice whisper in my ear. It feels like asmr so I like it xD
I haven’t been diagnosed with anything related to hallucinations but I’ve experienced both of these numerous times
I get confused sometimes because before I fall asleep, sometimes I hear voices that start out as thoughts - which is normal for me - but they get louder until i can practically actually hear them. I don't wanna call them internal hallucinations because that sounds much worse than they are but i imagine it's similar. Usually they're voices from a cartoon or a friend (I'm autistic and cartoons are my special interest so they're in my head a lot). Just small phrases that usually that person or character has never said before, but the voice is recognisable.
I am so mad that I had to learn this from a short I have been bouncing around between 6 mental health professionals and they all insisted I was just lying for some reason?
I guess I thought that auditory hallucinations were always inside your head. It's interesting that some people feel like the voices are in the room with them.
I can make myself hear voices that sound like someone is talking to me
I just realized the music I've been hearing in my head 24/7 is auditory hallucinations bc of this video lol😂
I think had a few internal hallucinations as reaction to a medication. It felt like I could hear the thought/voice coming from inside my head. Like I could feel which part of my brain it was in
im not diagnosed with any mental health disorders besides generalized anxiety, but late at night one recurring one i get it the sound of my alarm beeping. funny thing is, it's internal, but it still sounds like my alarm is beeping and jerks me out of my tiny bit of sleep, but it's noticeably inside my head. weird.
i’ll sometimes hear bells or musical notes or the repeating sound of a phone alarm, probably because of my tinnitus
A good example of this is exploding head syndrome, where people sometimes hear an exploding sound in their head as they're falling asleep. What separates this from a thought is that the sound actually startles and wakes people up, whereas imagining the sound would not startle anyone.
Also: different from internalised abusers voice.
I recognise it as my mother's voice, in my head, berating me, telling me awful things, she actually said, and are stuck in my head on repeat.
I kept hearing a camera shutter sound for the longest time, dissapeared 4 months into my new medications🥳
I have dissociative identity disorder and trying to explain how I "hear' my alters to people sounds odd. Because when I'm highly stressed I have external auditory hallucinations. And it's completely different than what I experience with DID. Like, i can't out right hear my alters, it's more like a train of thought with different voices and opinions.
But when you're explaining that to a therapist or my psychiatrist they often think I'm talking about hallucinations. Gotta love mental illness 🥴
I have hearing hallucinations sometimes too, but its usually just different voices calling my name or saying things like "hey" i kust dont pay them any mind
When I was younger and didn't go to sleep for hours at a time i would often have minor visual hallucinations and have visual migraines something that has been coming back lately although i sleep well (not the hallucinations thankfully). There was one time where i think i may have had an external auditory hallucination and that's eery to experience. Not being able to trust yourself must be really difficult until you're able to find a method to work with it.
If i play a video game and it has a constant sound, like the sound of text scrolling, i start to hear that sound in other sounds. I had this my whole life and never knew what it was called.
