I've been really overworked for the last week, and the other day I began to hear voices. It started with creaks and banging sounds from the bus I drive, seemingly becoming voices. Then I began almost like selective hearing, hearing things said that weren't said, but only when people were talking, but me hearing not what they were saying (for a split-second, and that weren't about me). Finally, I thought I saw a person outside for a split-second, and then there was nobody there.

I'm new to this. I'm frightened, but I know also that whatever my illness throws at me there's nothing I can do but move on, go forward, and keep truckin. I've spent yesterday afternoon, and this afternoon like I didn't want to be conscious. Nevertheless I got off the couch and did errands and hung out with people today (normal stuff) and I'm feeling better and haven't really heard a voice for 24 hours.

I'm waiting to see if this is just what happens when I get stretched too thin, and pushed to my limits; or if this is my illness progressing.

Do you guys have any advice on how to handle situations when you're hearing voices? Like work. I'm a newbie to this, I've heard voices but never really throughout a whole day Thanks.
