Sometimes when I get overwhelmed, over stressed or depressed I hear things. I hear my name being whispered, I hear the electricity in the walls, I hear the imperfections in the fan as it spins and I just feel like I have a hightened sense of hearing.
I don't know what it is, but it's only when I am over my threshold. Does anyone else have this same thing or am I just weird?

OMG Ya, I made the building maintence come to my office the other day because of a high pitched sound only I could apparently hear. I had a headache that day. Always makes the sense of hearing more sensitive.

Definitely.
 During stressful times, (but it can be anytime) I have heard my name being whispered, I have heard incoherent whispers, sounds that shouldn't be heard, and during worst times like mania, distinct words that fit with the situation I'm in. For example, if I'm worried about "evil" people, I might hear words like "evil" or "demon"...things like that. |

Yep, I hear things like a phone ringing quietly in the background when I am really stressed or manic. Mostly though I just get delusions when manic. Snakes in the walls, demons hanging around, that sorta thing. Very scary and really makes me feel "crazy". But at least I take my meds and get more help when I need it.

Yup I hear voices when I'm overtired or stressed. I've been hearing things that aren't there. It's scaring me.

OK, ok....then it isn't just me being paranoid or anything. Sometimes I have to close my eyes, plug my ears and just hum to myself so I can't hear anything else. It doesn't ALWAYS work, but most of the time it does.

The mind can get freaky sometimes...It is scary when it happens but at least we are aware that it comes with the illness and we are getting treated for it...:-)

So true bmx35. I think it helps knowing that I am fully aware that it isn't real and my doc can help.

I don't hear things, but I will feel breezes go by me inside my house with no reason for it. Sometimes with the feeling that something/someone is standing right behind me, or if my eyes are closed they are going to be right in front of me when I open them. I sometimes am convinced that people at work don't like me or are talking about me and the way I don't stack up, i.e, too slow, too fast, whatever. I think it all falls under that paranoia/delusional state.
I have heard things before, scary things, but I was under the influence of some hhhmmm, "mind altering" drugs, so to speak. It was scary ****. |

Ive heard things all the time, mostly when on some emotional extreme, like stress or mania.. I hear my name whispered, i hear music and drums, i hear people mumbling, i hear odd sounds. You're absolutely not alone.

Yeah, I think it's a paranoia thing, too. I just hate it. It's definitely when I am at my extreme. Weird stuff, though. Like...you expect to turn around and see someone there messing with you and they aren't.

I do hear whispers or quiet noises at times. Not specifically linked to a hypomanic or depressive episode. But I dont let it bother me, nor have I worried about it thus far. I just laugh it off
