Hey all, I have not been around in awhile so forgive me for coming here with an issue all of the sudden. I just think this group might be able to give me some advice when I really don't know who to talk to or what to think.

My son is 11 and was diagnosed with ADHD at 8. He really does have it and he's also a very intense kiddo. He's had terrible temper problem since he was just a baby and I've had to take him out of public school. All that said, he's also a charmer and most people love him.

The other day he told me he has been hearing voices. We've talked about it twice and he describes it as a ghost that is haunting him. He says he knows they are not other people talking, but it's more like a repetition of negative comments he hears from other people. He says it's a cloud outside of his head, coming inward. That it doesn't start in his brain but comes in from a cloud hovering around him. Most concerning is that he says he feels it is Satan. Now, we don't go to church and if I ever talk about spirituality it is to pray and about God and love and piece. I don't even talk about Satan.

He also said it's been going on for a long time but didn't want to tell me. He feels like it will never go away.

I don't know what is going on, what to think or what to do. Anyone have advice?

For the record, I'm Bipolar II and my ex-husband is definitely some kind of un-diagnosed crazy Very emotional, former alcoholic, gothic artist by trade.

Thanks anyone who has the time or some insight to share. I just figure that some with bipolar disorder might have experienced this or seen their kids go through something similar.

P.S. I'm going to cross post to ADHD
