I hear voices all the time! ..although usually when someone is talking to me. :P But yeh, I don't think I've ever heard voices. As sometimes psychotic said, you're better off posting this in those other forums.

Speaking of sleep issues, I have those for sure, and have many years of experience with sleep deprivation; at one point, it got so bad, that I really messed with my brain, and ended up hallucinating wasps/bees in my room, and would hear them, which scared me senseless. I couldn't sleep in my room a couple of times. I'd spend probably almost an hour at a time (maybe even hours, I don't know) stood in the center of my room, just.. staring.. listening.. staring.. listening.. thinking about it, I actually completely lost the plot around then; I probably needed to be hospitalised but thankfully I pulled myself out of it. 'o.O

There was some long-term damage, regarding my mental health: I became absolutely convinced that my belly-button was an open hole into my body, and that.. well.. it's disgusting, but lets just say that I was scared to have a bath, so much so that.. well.. you can pretty much figure it out; I wasn't the cleanest guy on the planet. I haven't thought back to this for such a long time; I really needed to be hospitalised back then, but of course, nobody seemed to pay much attention to just how severely off-the-rails I was. It took many years to actually get past that same overwhelming fear; in some ways, it's still there. Sleep deprivation is a scary thing, and it can do some major damage if you let it get out of control, as I did.
