Hello Steph:

Here's a few links that might be helpful to you. The first two lead to two other conversations in this forum related to hearing voices:

#1: Auditory Hallucinations

#2: Visual Hallucination

This third link is to an international association for people who hear voices. Reading through the information on their website might give you some ideas as to what you could try next: Hearing Voices Network They also have a confidential Helpline, although you will be charged for the call: HEARING VOICES CONFIDENTIAL HELPLINE: 0845 122 8642

This next link leads to a site with tons and tons of informative articles that also might be helpful to you. For example, you might find these articles to be interesting:<blockquote>[*] The Voice Inside
[*] Young Person's Introduction to Mental Health
[*] How to Increase Your Self Esteem</blockquote>

You can find a summary of all their articles here: mind.org

I suggest you gather up some information for yourself first and then make the decision about what to do next... including whether or not to speak to your mother about what's been going on with you.
