I feel for all those that suffer from this and have a lot of respect for this woman. I can relate on so many levels, low self-esteem, social anxiety and that, in my case, inner critic judging your every move. Recently I’ve experienced an alcoholic hallucinosis which symptoms are mostly auditory hallucinations. Don’t know if all voices voicehearers hear are as critical as mine was. Definitely hope not, because this woman was very capable of making a person do crazy things. Laughing devilishly and repeating every anxious thought I had. So I have grown a deep respect for people that can keep their sanity while hearing voices. I wish you strength and compassion for yourself, you have mine.

the voices want to isolate you so that they can have you all to themselves. I like that you said that. Its too bad they have to be so critical and destructive and discouraging and satanic-like mindset, not a guide that I would want to be guided by or a group that I would want to be accepted into--a very unloving group who are judgmental and critiqueing your every move? Have them critique their own behaviors

This is great. A shrink determined that I was hearing voices and prescribed an antipsychotic which helped. Now that I’m trying to go off of the pill I have insomnia. The struggle is real!

[@piccadelly9360]

The drugs are not good. What you need to know: "Have no fear" and make your voice your friends, but don't let them control you, do only what you want and keep your will to yourself. Insomnia comes from drugs or anxiety, if you put the fear aside you will have your sleep again. Insomnia is given to us by nature, when we are scared we are not safe and being in the wild means there could be an animal eating us, but we are not in the wild and we are safe so we can sleep without worry

Don't be afraid of the voices make them your friends, you can get great benefit from it, of course the opposite is also very likely. It depends on how you use the voices. Important is "Don't be afraid"

[@gallifrox6099]

Look up neurocluster brain theory

[@FlowersandSun22]

Don’t be afraid is a start. The voices can seem more intense when you feel intense. I was told it feeds off of your emotions so you have to start doing things that boost your moods. Yoga .. exercise…if you can see a psychiatrist they will prescribe medication. However you might have to try different meds until you have one that “works “ meaning voices is starting to go away. Long walks in nature… loving and telling yourself you love everything about yourself . Enjoying… really taking pleasure in doing things in your life. All my support and love to you.

i learned the voices I was hearing was not mental illness when I recorded them on my voice recorder on my samsung galaxy s9 plus. I was hearing a friends voice that died in 2015. I got her voice recorded on my phone she said my name loud and clear. I showed it to her boyfriend she was with for over 10 years and he was so shocked to hear her voice. My roomates also hear my recordings and they hear what I hear. I have loud recordings and I have a lot of whispering. It's unbelievable, I was so shocked that I was getting these recordings. SO I started thinking that maybe skitzophrenia was not real and actually what people are hearing are voices, spirit voices. It seems like they are coming from a different frequency a different dimension. So I've been studying so much about it. Now this started only 8 months ago. I think it was brought on by the severe trauma that I went through. But even as a small little girl I always had the feeling that I had special powers.....I'm an indigo kid!!!

[@Harshasha1920]

The things which we hear are environmental and our minds just mutate in different ways such that we start hearing what we 'want ' to hear. It might sound horrifying but our brains have just adjusted it differently than we hear what isn't there. Some words might be pronounced differently but our brains take them differently, what we hear is an illusion. By thinking that you have divine powers, there are chances that you might fall into schizophrenia deeply. It's just a chemical imbalance due to background white noise. Don't fall in to trap. I suggest you should reanalyze the whole situation again

I had my headphones on right now trying to find someone like me. This started 3 years ago and I have severe Ptsd from being held hostage 10 years ago and I've been trying to figure out if these are real or auditory hallucinations. I've tried meditation but they don't help. I used to have a life. I would date, have friends, talk to ppl, but Noone understands and I've been dropped by alot of ppl. These voices have held me back alot. I isolate and they're very scary. They talk about me tho not to me

[@USN23]

I'm right there w/ you. I've become very isolated. Sometimes I won't go out of the house for days. The longest has been about a week. I know this is not good because it just makes it worse. Unfortunately, the voices prompt rage in me and while I've never been one to physically fight, I've verbally assaulted people. I find managing it daily is the only option I have. Eating right, working out, outdoor activities, therapy, online groups. Having a toolbox of coping mechanisms helps alot.

[@diablominero]

Just saying, it's possible to hear voices without any sort of mental illness and without significant stress. The difference is that nonclinical auditory hallucinations are easy to distinguish from reality and don't give harmful orders or make major nuisances of themselves. When I'm sleep deprived, I'll occasionally hear a single spoken word that's obviously not from anyone in the room. It's a minor annoyance, but it's not psychosis. A single spoken word in a month doesn't have an agenda of isolating me. It has an agenda of poking me to see if I'm still awake. I've had friends much more annoying and harmful than that.

It’s very similar to mediumship, mediums “use” clairaudience to listen to and communicate with spirit, the difference is that she is probably communicating with lower vibrating, earth bound spirits. I would suggest looking into spirit release therapy, either by hypnotism or using a spirit release team. You need to consider the voices like invisible “friends” who don’t have your best interests at heart and will usually do their best, to criticise you, isolate you and undermine anything positive in your life.

It is interesting in the comments, it seems no one mentions prayer and putting their faith in God for the help they need but many put their faith in drugs that do not fix the problem. Going to God with the problem is the best and safest option. He knows where the voices are coming from and what to do about it! Maybe He is just waiting to see if we want His help or not. We get strength and knowledge and guidance through prayer. Do not worry God knows everything that is happening to you. If He is allowing it there is a reason for it.

I twist the knob some more and you turn into the colour red you're not a living being anymore you're the colour red. Sounds trippy. Sounds impossible right and yet there is such a knob and many many other knobs. There are so many knobs that do so many freaky things.

What is her story? How did she develop such high levels of anxiety? What caused it?

[@Jean-yt1lu]

It's called schizophrenia and Debra is called a hero a role model and a gift from God

[@jfaithweiss]

probably emotionally neglected in childhood by the children should be not seen and not heard child rearing mantra. One or more parents were narcissists....critical, impossible to please, perfectionist

[@geraldinetoughey9622]

I know the cause isn't important, just like when you've been pushed in a canal, it's just important to get out. Incidentally, emotional and other abuses are just as likely to happen today bec folks are on devices and not talking to and listening to each other in the home enough. Everyone needs face to face time with others. People born in 1930's had better no-TV and no distractions from each other. It made people much more socially able and naturally confident.

[@geraldinetoughey9622]

Schizophrenia was a label made up by unknown Dr in 1910. That word was designed to intimidate already fearful people into being incarcerated for life, and their families etc. In 1910 mental health care was stone age and all they could do with extremely traumatized, emotionally neglected adults. Medication was improved during the late 20th century, but hearing voices is a phenomenon discovered to be also experienced by "normal" people, who heard easy to deal with voices. Labelling and then disbelieving trauma sufferers is an abusive attitude to those who, thankfully, can find more help today from Dr's who are involved in The Hearing Voices movement. Intervoice is a good website.

Omg your awesome. Your one of the first and few plp i have heard really who describes it so perfectly. Thank u im gonna go try to listen to more of yur stuff

[@lizh1970]

I hear them and I get told about things that are about to happen before they happen . I get given insight about things Iam trying to figure out , then investigate and study and find the information correct . Sometimes I find it very intrusive though and can't get to sleep . Another thing though I am very perceptive of people's intentions .

[@christopherdameron7773]

I have hidden this from most , but I have dealt with the same thing for a few years now every since I stopped heavily drinking. I wish I could get rid of them, and be able to lead a life. Date and be happy, but I feel like no one would understand me.

I don't see, how hearing voices is an illness? Are you're own thoughts an illusion? Is colour an illusion? How you think, is who you are (consider this!). It can also be an addition to you're personality. Ask questions. Ask the hard questions to you're self, and know you are in CTRL. I have them, voices. I'm NOT schizophrenic nor did I ever had a psychoses (professionally confirmed). I'm mentally stable and I feel good about myself (I love who I am). I also have real life time friends, and never feel alone (I know these people since I was a teenager, now I'm 47). I also have/talk to them (my voices), just as I can talk to any of you. I have had whole discussions with them about lots of different topics. My voices are consistent in terms of how they sound and who they are. They seem to have there own personality! I hear 2 (a women and a man), and they never try to make me do anything negative or command me in any sort of way. It's almost like having two friends in my head... I've had this for years (7 years) and still think it's weird and odd. Once I decided to talked to professionals about this. They also thought my case is a bit odd since I'm not paranoid or did I ever loose contact with reality. I'm just an other human being with no special powers. I was surprised when that question was asked "Do you have any special powers". No I do not have powers! I'm just a complected person who loves him self!

[@ashleyvaughn5213]

Im thankful the voices I hear aren't mean but I do find them annoying because they catch me off guard. I thought I could control them. I'm finding out they come when they want. My biggest fear is angrily losing control when dealing with aggressive or mean people. The voices tend to soothe me or reassure me everything will be fine and to keep moving forward in life. I'm trying to figure out how others deal with it and the videos I'm finding are interesting. Like this one. 🙏bless all who deal with negative voices and hope they overcome them.

[@tarang2458]

She's such a beautiful writer

[@bruggeman672]

I never found the voices helpful in any way shape or form. Quite the opposite....

[@geraldinetoughey9622]

Ron Coleman wrote books about voices.

[@seamushawks516]

Edward Bruggeman I’m truly sorry to hear that’s been your experience. I have quite a bit of experience with voices as well.. it’s different for everyone, but know that, despite that, you’re not alone

[@tucker5.712]

@BigDon depends on what?

[@shivakami9293]

I appreciate you so much. Thank you thank you thank you dear beautiful lady💙

[@bryanna72]

This happened to me a couple of times when I was a teenager. Playing some n64. Hasn't happened since. Shows how long that has been. Freaked me out since it was dead quiet in the house with nothing on but my video games (muted) so I wouldn't wake the rest of the house up. I was late around 1 am. Out a rural area no cars, or any radios on. All of a sudden, it sounded like an old timey radio broadcast like from early days in my ear like i was actually listening to someone. It seemed to be an announcer at a baseball game plain as day speaking then you would hear the crowd make noise. Trumpets and fanfare with this tinny sizzling electronic sound. Then i suddenly stopped. I got goosebumps felt like something was watching me. I shut off everything and went on to bed. Very unsettling.

[@saturns2749]

I don’t know who she is but as soon as the video started I was like I like her I bet she’s has some good stories to tell
