Any one not hear voices and get this diagnosis?

Until recently I didn't even know I had the diagnosis of Schizoaffective / Depressive Type. I just thought I had depression. I have been prescribed anti-psychotic medication on and off for more the 10 years (since I was 23) and just thought I had a hard time coping. I had never told anyone that I was paranoid and I didn't hear voices but I guess the professionals figured it out on their own. I think there is a broader spectrum to this illness than what google provides because I don't think I fall into many of the categories. I'm finding that the updated version of DSM-5 has the most reliable information, I just wish they went into more detail.
I do suffer from a lot of paranoia, mostly about other people. I don't hear voices, but I will hear music or noises. I haven't heard anyone else with same symptoms so I'm wondering does anyone else suffer the same symptoms? I do worry that one day I will hear voices and that scares me. Schizophrenia runs in my family and my one cousin didn't develop severe symptoms until she was 38. She is not able to care for herself and refuses to take medication. My other cousin was also diagnosed just schizophrenic and she also doesn't hear voices. I still can't find too much information about this and it's my understanding that the severity of this illness is on a 0-4 scale. I think that my issues are from delusions and being paranoid even though they may not be as severe. Maybe I'm just having a hard time accepting my diagnosed and I'm in denial. I'm not seeing a therapist at this time but I do see my pdoc three times a month. What kind of therapist would I need to see? I just feel like I need to understand more than what I do right now. All of this is very depressing and I don't think I can accept it until I understand.

I don't hear voices, actually I don't even hallucinate at all, I only did during an episode where I was up for 4 days. I got diagnosed based on paranoid delusions outside of manic and depressed episodes

It's the one symptom that seems to get the most attention. There is so much more depth to it than that. I'm growing tired of all the stigma too.

I'm more delusional and parinod. The one voice I heard I only recently attributed sza.

I'm like Miguel'smom. I'm very much more delusional and paranoid. However I occasionally here voices. It depends on how depressed I get for the voices. But its not an everyday thing.

My voices come and go. I don't always have them sometimes it's a quiet whisper. Lately, I get messages to get in my car and abandon this life and start new somewhere else. It's hard to ignore! Another message is to have sex with random people. I get physical responses with that thought. Part of me really wants to. It consumes my day and nights. So hard to ignore.

anyone hallucinates after 4 days of no sleep.

I started hallucinating before the lack of sleep came.......... The morning the episode started, I had slept all the previous night,

see, that happens with me too. regardless if i sleep or not, i have hallucinations. (just thought i should point out that lack of sleep does make people hallucinate, wasn't saying that in your case. it's just some people automatically think they're insane but they don't think about how they haven't slept...) although, not recently. lately i've been on a mood trip. not so much hallucinations/delusions/psychosis. and i'm in a lot of pain from some ruptured cysts. bleh. ahah.

I hope you feel better soon
