Having hallucinations does not mean you are schizophrenic, it can be due to extreme anxiety, stress, part of depression or part of bipolar. It sounds like you were stressed after work.
Sometimes hearing voices can be a flashback - part of PTSD, where the mind will playback previous traumatic experiences. This can be very distressing.
Please go and see your doctor if it continues.  |
Thank you for your reply.
I did not sleep so well the night before. Generally, I sleep well, but I also seem to be the kind of person who needs a lot of sleep and doesn't cope well with lost sleep.
Thankfully, I do not have PTSD. However, I sometimes wonder if I am misophonic in regard to my colleagues' voices. We work in small room filled with children and my colleagues have to raise their voices to be heard. I like my colleagues, but I'm ashamed to say that I find raised voices grates on me. That is the biggest cause of my stress. I wonder if it sticks in my mind and comes back as a flashback as you mentioned.
