Hearing voices that tell you they are real people
Hi everyone, I'm new to the 7cups community. I was looking for answers and couldn't find any and I remembered this app that my hospital directed me to. Everyone seems very supportive here. I know this isn't the newbie hub but I wasn't sure where else to leave my question.
Anyway, I recently started hearing voices about three weeks ago. This was after a month of being convinced someone was in my phone trying to tell me I had cancer and then being sick with stomach problems and now I'm hearing voices. I don't know what is causing them but I'm getting a psych evaluation in October. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression this summer and start therapy in two weeks.
Onto my question, does anyone else who hears voices that aren't there repeatedly get told that they are real people? The voices regularly tell me that they are real people.
They have different voices and personalities, and they goad me into fights like a real person would, but I know they aren't real.
@cosmicmish
it must be super confusing dealing with that and sorting what's real and what's not. i wish you could get the eval and treatment sooner than october.
@cosmicmish That sounds troubling to be goaded by voices that aren't there and that you can't get away from. I'm glad to hear that you're being proactive and getting help for these issues. There isn't a wrong place to post your story, as your feelings and experiences are valid no matter where you post them, but you may find more people who've had similar experiences with hearing voices and can relate to you if you post in the Bipolar, Psychosis, and Schizophrenia community (which can be reached through the Topics section of the Community page) .

I hope you find clarity and healing in life.
