Well, let me tell you what happened to me when I had my first psychotic break.

Among other things, I could hear voices that the only logical explanation to me was they were in the flats above/below/adjacent to mine. I even figured that the sound was coming from the vents in the other flats trough the gaps in the walls to my vents.

Eventually, I asked my Mum if she could hear other people talking. (she didn't know I was psychotic) She had a listen & said no, she'd never been aware of hearing people from other flats apart from in the bathroom since next doors was right beside.

So, that's when I realised I was hearing voices. I realised that I neither had heard any voices coming from the others flats prior to the episode.

So, I'm posing you the same question. If you are hearing voices now, even quiet ones... then surely you would been aware of them having conversations or whatever before all this started? Or even other people. Have you ever heard other people talking in your flat?

If the answer is no, then I think you've got to accept there is a distinct possibility that these conversations/laughter etc. are not real. I know you don't want to hear that, but it's true.

I'm just looking out for you. If you are having an increase in symptoms, the only thing that will stop it is getting help.
