I think that i am schizophrenic. Either that or i'm actually medically insane. I'm so scared of myself I see and feel what i can only define as spirits all the time, and constantly hear voices and noises that other people cannot hear. I'm scared to make a big deal of it because if i'm wrong and i actually have some kind of gift and can actually see and hear spirits like some people can, then the spirits may taunt me for thinking i'm crazy. Please don't take this as some kind of joke because i hate it and i need help, whenever i say it to anyone they think i'm just attention seeking and deliberately being 'wierd'. It's been getting so much worse recently which is why i'm asking for help, as i'm scaring myself. I'm 16, and I have taken illegal drugs in the past, but only cannabis and it has never 'heightened my senses' as far as seeing and sensing things is concerned. I don't really do it anymore anyway as i was scared that that was what was causing it. Please please don't discard this as a joke i'm deadly serious here and i can't cope because no one believes me.

Hello, hearing and seeing the passed away is nothing to be ashamed of.You are what is called clairvoyant and clairhearent. I'm always having paranormal exsperiences such as seeing ghosts in my dreams,and in reality and i've even heard voices once. Other people may not believe you, but the most important thing is to believe in yourself. Go and meet with a trained mediam who knows what they are doing. The key is to tell the spirit world who controls it all, who is the boss, and belive it or not it's YOU. Spirits will only try to take advantage of your gift so be careful. Please do not encourage them to speak to you as then you are exsposed to all sorts of phycological dangers. You are not skitzophrenic by the sounds of it but please GET OFF THE DRUGS, i understand that they may relax you for the time being but at the same time you are vunerable. Cigerettes may ease the pain but they wont help you properly. Like I have stressed, please meet with an exsperienced mediam who will help you heal spiritually.

I think its so important to not doubt yourself - I do believe there are people than can see and hear and scense spirits - this has been talked about for thousands of years - BUT you cant always just presume your gifted - and dont have other medical issues. I think its important you do some research on differant illness like scizophrenia - there is more to this disorder than just hearing or seeing things - look at the dsm critera - and read all you can about it - If your truly scared or doubting these are some sort of psychic phen, then do discuss it with a doctor so it can be ruled out - The harsh thing about scizophrenia is NOT getting help for it and being in denial about it - Who knows maybe you do have a gift - many people do - but if you dont and this is an illness it will ruin your life if left untreated. Good Luck and DONT be afraid.

The voices you are hearing are spirits. I know someone that has the same thing happen to them.she still hear these voices. it's been three years now. but still living her life normal.some may say it's from God, and some say from evil spirits,anyway read,and play music, and don't let them get into your mind. the more you talk to them or have contact with the voices, they will get deeper into the mind. go with your commonsence and stay strong. many people are having this problem now also. don't give in, and don't give up.you will get help soon GOD BLESS YOU.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (20 September 2007):

I too hear voices and have visuals. I thought I was going crazy! I spoke to a priest and he said to ignore them and they should go away in a few weeks. That was a year ago. It is very hard to ignore the voices when it is constant. They are very confusing. When you are doing something. Always go with your own instict and try to ignore them. To answer your question It is only a gift if you think so. (I dont) and I do not think your schizophrenic. But doctors would. I think this might be something that only someone who is going through this can truly understand. Family and friends will even think your (we) are crazy. I wish you nothing but hapiness and hope everything will turn out okay for all of us who have live with this.

lovehate agony auntThis is not schizoprhenia! My mother and my grandmother are psychic. Don't be afraid, it is a gift. I understand, and you will soon too. Speak to a spiritualist. Some people do not believe in psychics and mediums and believe it's crazy, it is'nt. Speak to someone professional soon if you are scared.

I hope this helped. Best Wishes. X

i hear voices myself. they seem to depend on my thoughts. some have names, but clain they only "represnt" that indevidual , i can communicate with them by saying- _______(name) is thinking... or ________ (name) is really like.... and i reciever responses. i dont know what it is some have personal names and some have names like "someone whom you never wish to meet". It scares me and medication didnt help me. They simply agreed to leave me alone for a while, but returned and have now been with me for about the last 3 weeks. I don't know what they are, but they scare me and make me feel very unconfortable. i an unsure of what they are but they seem to be present most of the time or able to communicate when thught of. Some voices are louder than other and they have told me it is a show of power. i am confused as to what to do myself.

Hi,

I hear voices and see images that no one else can see. I don't think we're crazy, but medication can help. I talk to my voice. We have agreed that there are times when it is not wise to talk. He mostly wants to be heard. He is lonely and seeking a friend. Keep busy and don't let it overwhelm you. Reading, TV are good ways to deter the voice. Be kind to him/her. I think mine is a spirit guide and can be called upon to help make decisions.

Not to worry. In every spiritual / religious tradition there are people who have "inner hearing" or "inner sight" - while I don't have every answer as to why, many, many people live with these things and are not crazy. The bottom line is for you to remain in a LOVING state. Try to drop your fear. Love. Then you'll be alright.

This happened to me after I was studying abroad it strted in my college room the day before going to Spain to visit family and lasted for a long time I was very scared of suffering form schyzofrenia so I told my family about the fact and they didn't want to believe me at first but I insisted very much so my sister,who is a doctor, sent me to a psychologist a friend of hers who also work for university students in need of help, she was very kind to me and told me that it was apparently a stress problem as I told her about how the voices would critisise me or tell me things about people I knew I was scared as I even thought I was being prosecuted by an ex who had a mafia family and hear my telephone conversations one time I saw my deceased grandma smiling at me, another time I would see an snake, another I would her somebofy who loved me talking to me another I could hear what people were thinking, fortunately Rose, the psychologist gave me a good advise '' listen to the voice talking to you and that's it'' it is sometimes your subconcious mind, ansiolitics make you feel like a zombie so try to relax and if you cant definitely you need treatment I am still scared about been likely to have schizofrenia in the future so I try to take things easy and it helps a lot I believe some people have the gift to forsee events myself and my mother have had some kind of premonitions, the night my grandmother died we saw her shadow on the wall for minutes only we did see I was eight I believe we are all connected and the more connected we are the more pemonitions about other people we get. I suppose you have an stress problem, anyway if you're having drugs maybe it is a consequence of the whole thing, if you have a tendency to suffer from schyzophrenia, family narecendents count, you may have increased symptoms when you drink alcohol, i have read a lot about it an got over it some people invent phantasies when they are alone or too lonely a friend of mine live in NY for a time working as a designer and one time thought FBI followed her in an airport....she had a sort or paranoia and still thinks it really happened I think you should be brave and ask for help, one time I thought there were micros all over my house so I started writing notes to my mom then she noticed my stress crisis had really reach the bottom I remember going to driving lessons and asking the person in my head to drive the car as he had a driving license before he stamped and things like that....please ask for help I got over it and you'll get it too

good luck

eyeswideopen agony auntYou need to first rule out any physical problems before all else, then see if there are any psychological irregularities. If you get a clean bill of health in those two areas then check into the physic realm. Make the doctor's appointment ASAP. Good luck, I'm sure you'll be just fine.

Is there is a local psychic that you can sit down and talk to, explain whats happening and see what they think. Maybe try joining a class that can help you learn ways to control what you see and hear. If this doesn't work then maybe you should seek medical advice. Don't think your crazy and don't let anyone else tell you that you are. There are so many things in this world that we can not understand and explain. Goodluck and please if you have a special gift then embrace it and help people.

I was in the exact same situation as you when I was younger. You say it is constant, does this occur wherever you are or are the senses stronger in particular locations?

I lived in a house where the presence was so strong, we were forced to leave through fear. Family thought we were crazy, easy for them to say as they never had to live there. Anyway, turned out there had been a murder at the house years before. There were always things moving around on their own, cigarette smells although nobody in the house smoked, lights turnig themselves on and off. There was an instance where a toy lifted itself off the floor and threw itslf across the room. There were 5 witnesses to this.

If you hear these voices everywhere you go, then you would be best to seek help from your GP. If you have these feelings constantly in specific locations, then you are possibly gifted and should try to hone these skills and use them for the good of others.

I do not claim to be able to speak to ghosts, but I can hear them sometimes and feel feelings unlike anything you can imagine.

I dont feel anything in the house where I live now, but there are certain friends houses where I sense things. Its amazing what you can find out about a place when you research.

I started having these sesnses when I was 7 and I stayed at a friends house. Whenever I stayed there, I would have nightmares that I was being chased by a monk. My friends mum did some research and found out their house was built on the site of a former monastary.

People do not think you are stupid for saying you can see ghosts, but many just refuse to believe. Many peopole believe in God as a spirit, but how many people would believe you if you said, "Oh, God came to see me last night, we had a lovely talk".?

I'm not sure if you have a problem of some kind or something bad from your past may have triggered it. But it may be as simple as stress. If it helps, I dont hear or see things, but i do sense things and am very rarely wrong. I also have nightmares, which tend to come true. N i feel i no when something bads about to happen. have u had anything like that? someone even suggested a from of migrane? Hope i've helped in some way

Whatever is happening to you, you need help! It could be schizoprhenia. In any case, you find it deeply disturbing and very difficult to cope with.

You need first to talk to your doctor, get him to refer you to someone in the mental health field.

Getting treatment WILL help, and the sooner you find out what is going on, the better!
