I have been told by highly trained medical doctors that it is normal for some people who have bipolar disorder to hear "voices" that obviously aren't there. And it's not a sign of another psychiatric disorder.

I hear 2 male voices and one young female voice. (I'm an adult) It's like a grown up having an imaginary friend(s). I know they aren't real at all and never have thought of them as real. It's like someone is having a conversation with you that is in the room. The "voices" are not threatening or asking me to do stupid or violent things. It's like having a friend in the room that you cannot see. I only hear these "voices" when I am at home and no where else. This makes it confusing for me.

Anyone else with only bipolar disorder experience similar things? I have bipolar 1 disorder.

I have a male voice that calls my name........but that is all......

The last time I had this happen was November. I am Bipolar I. The voices seem to whisper or talk in a low voice. I can't tell if they are male or female. Generally, they just call my name or say "Hey!" or "Helloooo??" Like someone is trying to get my attention. Only thing is, nobody else is around. Usually happens at night, but once happened in the day.

I have bipolar disorder, and I don't hear voices - but I have delusions. I see or hear signs. Like sometimes through different types of media (t.v., movies, music, etc) will somehow "mimic" my life, and point me in a certain direction. It's kind of hard to explain. Or if I'm thinking about something and my dog winks one eye I think that he's giving me a sign. I find it very weird and have talked to my therapist and pill doctor about it, I recognize the problem and try to ignore the "signs" whenever they come up. They put me on Serequel* to help with that. It has in fact helped, also just recognizing that it's happening and that it's not "real."
