Did I just hear voices?!
Question: Did I just hear voices?
This has never happened before.
I'm seriously freaking out. My heart's pounding and my palms are sweaty. I'm afraid I'm going to have a panic attack now.
I'm afraid of hearing the whispers again so I have my headphones in and I'm listening to music.
Does this mean I have schizophrenia or is it normal to hear voices once in a while?
I'm really scared and I don't want to have schizophrenia.
Also, how can I calm down? I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. (I've had a panic attack everyday, twice in one day before, for about a week now.) Could this all just be caused by anxiety?
Sorry for typing so much. I tend to ramble when I'm anxious.
(PS. I'm 18 in case that matters.)
Answers:
Yes, do see a psychiatrist. Schizophrenia sometimes does start around your age. But there's medication for it. I can't diagnose you, but please go see a professional. Like a psychiatrist. Not LIKE a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist. About panic attacks. Just hang in there now, the panic will go away, just reassure yourself, it does not cause death. That's what people feel sometimes when they are having a panic attack, but you will be ok, just not feel happy. Try to distract yourself, watch something interesting on TV. Google Panic Attacks and read about them if you can't distract yourself.
i advise you to talk to your parents about this, and go see a therapist. A couple of weeks ago i always got nervous and anxious all the time and i had trouble falling asleep, and i didn't know why and i wanted it to stop. I was confused and felt stupid for feeling nervous about simple everyday things. I told my mum and she took me to a therapist. We found out that it was actually a side affect of this medication i was taking. That side affect doesn't affect many people but it did to me. She advised me to stop taking the medication and referred me to a different one, and i have no problems now. I'm really glad it stopped. Don't be scared or embarrassed; people can help you stop it.
Good luck :)
