I first experienced it in hospital: I thought people were laughing at me, and at the time it was mixed with voices and extreme paranoid. I got so stressed that I self harmed and smashed up my personal belongings. It's like real laughter - a little distance. It definitely sounds as though it's coming from OUTSIDE of my head. But alone in my house I hear this - and it's a fully detached house.
I also hear it sometimes when out in public. Which, as you can imagine, is very stressful.
Anybody else get this?

No, but I get the conversations, low voices, like radio or tv is on (not). These were I was told connected to times of high stress on occasion and almost mania the other. The odd psychosis with things like we're talking about for me - paranoia for ex. - I was told is a sensical outgrowth of high anxiety. When I think out my circumstances during all my hallucinations, it fit perfectly. Other folks definitely could have other reasons for their psychosis (my OWN general word for episodes like this). I believe how I'm feeling, experiencing at the time of these, is reflected in what I "hear/see/feel". If I'm scared then it's something creepy etc. Just some of my own experiences and thought. Way too much - I hope you find your answer.
