It's voices, but I can't pick anything out. Like a crowd at a baseball game or a party or something. It makes me strain and strain and strain to hear, and it gives me a horrible headache.

And how do you get it to quiet down? T and I moved to sit on the floor and something about that shift quieted things down. But I kind of think maybe we just got lucky.

Blah.
yes this used to happen to me. I would not be able to make out any words so my therapist would hand me the box of crayons and a pad of paper and say draw what its like and I would draw. and as I went along we talked about what I was drawing and writing. eventually she was able to make sense of what she was seeing and know what my internal chatter was trying to say. then we knew what steps we had to take in order to quiet things down.
