Is there any colleration between hearing loss, and having auditory Hallucinations ?

I find it difficult to hear things such as when having conversations, what makes it worse is that I hear things that aren't there.

My doctor suspects I'm autistic, as I have a sensitivity to high pitched sounds and loud noise. And I suspect my brain is not wired to interpret the sound signals properly, leading to confusion and depression.

I know deaf people are more likely to suffer (in silence) and it's difficult to communicate.

I'm just wondering if I should get a hearing test? And weather a hearing aid will help?

Or do I see a psychiatrist?

Is my brain interpretting the sounds differently and filling in the gaps, with words?

And weather medication is effecting my ability to hear?

I'm interested to hear from people that have tried hearing aids?

Started with altar anubis ra had belongings and pics of people I care about and the bhagavadgita book I was reading with a little troff for water where I would deposit coins food and water for simple offering the. One day I was praying to God that he take all my flaws including pride vanity selfishness etc and invoked the archangel Michael 3 times since then I have been plagued by a spirit or spirits with demonic voices who shift or change at will the barradement is constant I was able to cast one out after reading a prayer in front of a holy candle as i vomited out with no control as the simple act of reading the prayer seemed to rid me of it but I still seemed to have something remaining went to garage to try and capture spirit in mirror by reciting prayers didnt work. I sat outside feeling free of it birds surrounded me and when I suddenly felt a force jump back into my body my face changed since then I have been plagued by the voice or multiple voices that change wether it's one or more I don't know but they constantly harass me fooled me lie to me with conditions of letting me go such as reading the bible or doing the rosary repenting of my sins daily....

Lying constantly making me believe this was a third eye gift and taunting me once revealing it was a ruse the second one was leading me to read a book of the vedas that lead me to a prayer for agni I prayed to Jesus and felt something lift this is after tormenting me for weeks and I'm still troubled by the voices and I cannot sleep the name azmodeus , devil was mentioned but the story changes the night time is most terrifying as the voices get more demonic ive experienced burning sensations as they wake me up atound 3a.m experience burning sensations sometimes have nightmares including sleep paralysis and theyve even been sexual dreams inbolved to not let me sleep its given me terrible insomnia ....theyve also said I have a halo on my head but not on my body and a demon in my ear they say they wont let me go .....we've had a priest come bless the house and recite deliverance prayers for me directly..... sometimes they quiet down and sometimes they get louder I've been evaluated by medical professionals interned at a mental health facility twice where people I met there asked me for clothes personal belongings (not sure if any witchcraft was involved with people I made contact with there) or another hallucination as it was strange for them to ask for socks and a pair of underwear some of the voices have shifted into those people not sure if that is paranoia or part of the demonic ruse) I'm stating any possibilities and I know the story seems strange but this is something real not just auditory hallucinations I'm seeking genuine help please look into my case any help would be appreciated. I've had ct scans done with no damage reported as I got into a bad brawl in between the incident and again have been evaluated as having severe anxiety .....this due to the distress caused by the voices again any help would be appreciated I have gone with little to no sleep the voices are terrifyingly specific and demonic they only started after the altar incident which I've taken down since then. It wasn't meant to be a worship altar but the way I set it up may have turned it into one with the dish and simple thankful offerings. (Currently it's came down to two voices one of a black male who's voice turns demonic claiming to be azmodeus and a little helper that sounds like a fairy they even play music I dont know if anyone else has had the voices make music in different genres including rock rap and religious it's scary AF but kind of interesting alot of the convos were as many people here described including jokes and banter but I dont know n if i opened a door doing these things or if its part of the voice hearing experience many have had with anxiety and possible skitzo disorders) I started taking sleep medications to help with sleeping they've toned down since I started the rosary and prayers and reading the bible I was also smoking a lot of weed and studying some esoteric stuff as mentioned I dont know if I commited some type of heresey but I started trying deliverance prayers and opening up a relationship with God which coincidentally was who I was searching for all along just want peoples thoughts on this any suggestions (also should mention after all this with the fight included it claims to be hiding in my eye since I see flashes and shadows moving through my right eye sometimes but that could just be an injury from the brawl and they are using it as a reason to mess with me as many people have mentioned they're voices do) sorry for rambling............ Theyve said some crazy stuff but the most horrifying has been the times the voices literally morph into these horrible demonic things wailing and swearing and saying some horrendous things very hard to describe but it definitely some spiritual paranormal sh*t ....also have been going to mass now and confession just want my freedom back looks like I have to earn it luckily the voices get lower but it's be nice to have them gone completely whatever this is....

Comment here (or make your own post if you have more to say) links or images of experiencing art. You're welcome to post anything that's related to hearing voices or other unique states of consciousness. "Experiencing Media" can be an illustration/painting made by you or anyone else (contemporary or classical), a song from one of your favorite artists mentioning hearing voices, a documentary, or even a recent episode of your favorite show; any art surrounding the lived experience of voice hearers and their unusual states of mind.

The idea is to share as much culture surrounding our lived experience as we can. Please share about the creators, the name of the artist, the title of the work, and what you personally identify with.

Experience 1: While transitioning from wakefulness to sleep, I heard a prolonged ringing or buzzing sound in my ear. The ringing stopped, and I then heard clear male voices having a conversation for a few seconds, as if I had entered another world. I became frightened and forced myself to wake up.
Experience 2: On another occasion, while I was about to fall asleep, I heard a sound resembling radio static or a radio frequency searching for a signal. The sound stopped, and then a male voice called me by my full real name. I woke up immediately.

So i had been up for a few days and started hearing evil voices and seeing them. Some kept telling me not to fall asleep, but one told me to go to sleep because there was a evil man with a special gun that wants me she said I had to sleep or I would die. It seems so real. And every where I went I would see hundreds of them and bright lights. Has anyone ever had this happen

I am sharing about a psychosis event I had 5 years ago. So the story starts when I was just a 12th grader. I had entrance coaching , Yeah typical Indian teenage event. Intense pressure stress, and after 120 hours of backlog of online classes . I was completely devasted ..At the same time I got covid positive it was cherry on top lmao. To your information I was too extroverted with zero social anxiety but due to some cases of severe insomnia in my puberty age I became awkward and weird sometimes.

I lost my friendships during lockdown time and I was becoming too lonely and covid period became too devastating until one of my friend called me unexpectedly and I don't know why but I became too hyper and anxious. It was the butterfly effect. That time there was a social issue happening in Lakshadweep due to BJP Government. The slogan "Save Lakshadweep" was famous. I was researching on this and I saw a comment against Christians and don't know it triggered my religious self (though I am not a religious person at the moment, I believe in the same God Yuvan Harari believes in, "The Mystery God") My hyper mind made a YouTube video like a reaction to it and my stupid ass thought the video became really viral, like I thought The video got a million views and the YouTube and Instagram is showing me that the video got only 300 views to lower my pride. I began to hear moments outside my realm and see sounds outside the dimensions. Slowly I was falling towards a big Supernatural Event.

That time there was a girl whom my friend had a real crush on, I really don't know If I had any feelings for. Let us call her E. It was her birthday(May 2021) and I wished her eventually for which she replied Thanks my "boo". My stupid teenage hyper anxious almost borderline mind thought she might have feelings for me since I became viral for my reaction video. I chatted her about my video which in real scenario she did not even watch. She became creeped out and blocked me as she should. I did not realize it and again chatted with her on WhatsApp , she got really weirded out and blocked. My anxious mind was perceiving things way differently, I thought everyone was hiding something from me, Everyone was worshipping me ,I felt I was top of world, I felt I was the GOD.

That day I again made lot of reaction videos against China and accused they made covid as a bioweapon, I became too radical. That night something which I had no control at all (At least the me at the past had no control) I had no sleep I was anxious, suddenly I began to get some sensations from my head to toe, I don't know how to explain but my heads began to shake like some one was really controlling me, like some one was trying to say something to me... I was fully conscious I woke up from my bed with my heads shaking from up to down without my control. I felt some one was asking me to take my fathers phone and take Instagram and DM the account of Official Instagram account, yeah I did all and i began to construct a message like someone was controlling my brain from outside. I was fully conscious and had no control over the message I typed . The concise content of the message is like this.

"THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM 2084, PAVAANO IS CELEBRATING HIS 80TH BIRTHDAY , YOU ARE BEING CONTROLLED BY A DEVICE CALLED CRYPTOMANIAC BY A 10TH GRADER. THIS GRAND FATHER IS HARASSING ME. PLEASE MAKE HIM PM ASAP. INDIA FIRST US SECOND RUSSIA THIRD AND CHINA FOURTH . HE KIDKED OUT RUSSIA FROM VIDEO CONFERENCE..HE IS GOING TO MARRY A GIRL NAMED E. booom my headshaking stopped.

I ran to my mom regardless of my covid she became afraid. I literally did not know what I had to do, it was the exact moment I thought of doing everything which would make me a potential God. I lost my sleep my insomnia kicked in. I became hyper hyper I began to perceive every event to be from future, hallucination began to kick in I literally felt my room was traversing through time, my parents were near me They had no idea what to do, they were speechless and became too afraid and started crying. I even began to go to brother who has down syndrome . I literally forgot about my covid and rushing through my house. I took some books and perceived the quotes were from future, I saw a quote from readers digest that "International Cricket Council was found in 1919" I thought whole timeline was changed, I felt like I was controlling whole space time fabric. I became a crazy fanatic. maybe it was the moment I began to develop Borderline Personality disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Mood disorder and all Psychiatric problems all cool kids had .

My mom called her brother who is a renowned priest in Kerala. Mom was repeatedly saying They will come to pick me, I thought people from future was going to pick me. I became anxious and happy at the same time. I literally saw my next 100 generation (the prophesized generation flashing before my eyes, I even heard voices) I began to get addicted to EDM and Trance music. Next day morning I said I did not want to go to future, My father said " I would say this 52 times" I became anxious again and thought my dad and mom knew everything and maybe the future has contacted them. They came, My uncle and his driver they were wearing mask. I didn't realized the at first , I trusted my instinct and got in car, I was too silent, They were going to a Christian hospital, they knew the location still put Google Maps which is still mysterious to me. The moment I began to think about the future , the notification from Google Maps screamed "GO AHEAD". I got really scared. I cried , I really thought I was going to the future.

Eventually reached the hospital, The hospital director himself came to welcome me, I thought he was my uncle from another timeline, name and masked faces was perceived by me really differently. Another mysterious thing was that my uncle saying in phone that" I have done everything as said. I became too afraid. I was taken to a room, I was in euphoria one doctor veena came and visit me, on the way to room in lift, I thought I was literally being uplifted to future. I cried really hard. Then I reached , two doctors Veena and Naik, I heard Vinayak and I hallucinated him to be the doctor who will treat in my end days, I began to saw the glimpse of my day of death. I was given Sora injection and I slept like a kid for 12 hours and I woke up slightly less anxious. Dad bought me idly and Sambar I hated it, still hates it. I imagined my older self eating idly and sambar as his last meal. I felt like he was near my room, I saw a really old man and women in another room(not hallucination) and thought it was me and my wife from future.

Read this paragraph carefully, ...I was taken to a sister (NUN) named 'T" (for now). she looked in her 40s wearing blue uniform DM society nuns wore, I asked her name she said the name starting with T, I asked what!! TESLA!? she said yeah something like that, I asked her the year she was born instead of replying directly she mysteriously said " Our age differences is 40" I suddenly replied so you were born in 2044? She did not replied anything ,and to my defense my father was near me the whole time. Then I was taking rest . Next day again they arranged a counselling session for me. I was waiting near the counselors room and name board popped up " T ". I became happy, I was eager to meet her and ask everything, but when I entered the room, I was flabbergasted "IT WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT "T" . She was in her late 50s she wore a WHITE SH SOCIETY NUN UNIFORM. They were two different T s. I told her story and my consultation was over and I was successfully diagnosed with all above diseases and Dr Veena gave me high doses of LICAB RISNIA AND OLANZEPINE.

Yeah Eventually I became obsessed with this E I messaged her ,creeped out her. I became an irrelevant creep who stalked her frequently, It was the mentally unstable me who did all this creepiness. She completely cut all the contacts I became more and more obsessed, for the rest of my year, I cried became anxious , had panic attacks frequently in my favorite dark room of my home. I wish i died because no one had answers to my problems. I began to doubt everyone. Everything in front of me began to fall apart inside a void I created in my broken heart.

An year passed by, still obsessing over E. Finally got into a college to graduate in Physics. 2022 September: It was first college Onam (A regional cultural festival) Celebration , I was planning to stop obsessing over her, I developed new crushes. before that day I dm ed this E 99 days a heart emoji , the Onam celebration day was the 100 th day, I messaged the tea cup emoji (Misogyny joke:" Women HAHA" which was a relevant trend at that time") I screen recorded it and sent to this "E" via my 15th fake account. Fortunately she saw this replied me back, she told me if it was sent to her actually ,I again felt a divine connection chatted with her, again became restless and anxious, My BPD began to kick in and I creeped her again. Stupid me.

At that time I was researching on Tachyons and proposed These hypothetical particles faster than light existed and photons were actually slowed down tachyons. I sent it to my professor, I began to fell in delusion trap. I thought I was about to get Nobel prize, again began to imagine and perceive things in a different way. I was addicted to Xenogenesis and Nights by Avicii , I felt a divine connection to music, I began to get signal from universe and future via the music, for example when I submitted my hypothesis to Wikipedia, My music track was YOUNG WILD AND FREE , The moment i submitted my webpage crashed and I heard a laugh track in the music. I felt like Americans stole my idea.

Another incident was I came for Onam vacation to my homeland, We homeboys went to city for celebrations and I saw an ambulance with two legs hanging near the window, my delusional mind thought It was the dead body of me which was getting travelled all important places and all important timestamps in my life. On the way back home I was stuck , I was in car listening to TRANCE music from FM radio (IDK if Malayalam FM Radio plays trance music at night) I saw two bike riders passing us vibing to our music, IT literally felt like from a movie scene. One more incident was that me my mom and my grandma got trapped in a space loop and I dont know why I felt a communist ideology in my soul.

The next major incident happened again was.. one the same vacation days of 2022, I again felt a shivering and tremors and I got a message that I had to go to hospital again since i had to take a drug for the sake of humanity, I messaged DR Veena and Director, None responded. I told my Mom , mom again got afraid she took the car and went to hospital. The scenario I am going to write down is still kinda mysterious doubtful and unanswered to me... THE HOSPITAL WAS LITERALLY EMPTY I ENTERED THE WARD I WAS CONSIOUS TO MY DEFENCE MY MOM WAS WITH ME , A MIN LATER AN OLD MAN (PROBABLY 80 YEARS OLD) CAME AND SAT OPPOSITE TO ME AND LATER SOME HIJABI WOMEN CAME NEXT TO HIM AND I FELT LIKE IT WAS MY MUSLIM FRIEND "MIB' WHO CAME FROM 2084, THEN AFTER FEW MINUTES A SISTER WHO WAS IN HER LATE 50S CAME SHE WORE BLUE UNIFORM, STILL I COULDNT CONFIRM BUT I CONFIRMED WHEN ONE MORE PERSON CAME IN, YEAH THAT "T' WHO WAS LIKE 40 YEARS AND SHE ALSO WORE BLUE UNIFORM, SHE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME "T" I WANTED TO SEE IN 2021, I BECAME TERRIFIED. THEN I SAW AN YOUNG BLACK SKINNED KID SAT OPPOSITE TO ME, I FELT LIKE HE WAS MY GRANDCHILD HE WAS WEARING A BLUE SHIRT WITH A NECKBAND, I ALSO SAW HIS MOTHER,( MY DAUGHER IN LAW) COULD NOT SEE MY SON. I GOT THE REAL PANIC ATTACK I THROW THE STEEL GLASS AT FLOOW, I WAS AT MY FULL FREEDOM, I ASKED THE OLDER SISTER, HER NAME, SHE REPLIED "JINCY'( I MENTIONED HER NAME SINCE I KNOW ITS FAKE} I WOULD NEVER NAME HER JINCY. THEN SHE CRIED , I ALSO CRIED. THEN BID ADIEU TO HOSPITAL. BACK TO NORMAL, ATLEAST PRETENDING.

Then again i was haunted by this events, 3 months later, I again got signals I went home became anxious, With another priests help as he said( dont know if true hope so), he submitted it to people from future'

years have passed by , This day on 23rd February 2026 at 11:39 am , I am feeling like a fresh human free from all anxieties at least pretending. FUTURE PRESENT PAST ALL IS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME

PEACE OUT

around 2 months ago i started hearing very loud noises coming from my room. whenever i opened my door to see what caused this the noises immediately shut down. most of the time i hear those sounds are when my brother is inside the room (he lives in the same room as me). the weirdest part is when i ask my siblings if they can hear the sound they deny it. the sound comes off as being a bunch of nonsense like static noises, people talking, sirens etc cramped up into one very loud string of noises. it wont stop until i open or touch the door. sometimes ive checked at what exact moment do those sounds stop, and figured they instantly do when i touch the handle (not even when i open the door). im pretty sure its a mental illness and im sick of it. sometimes i swear i can even feel walls slightly shaking from the sound. not long ago, around 6 days before i posted this, i put up a camera to record the sounds. ive used a camera i had in my home for quite a while and im genuinely concerned as to wtf is going on. 3 days after i installed my camera ive heard the sounds again, i open the door, and they disappear, but the weird part comes when i check the camera footage. the camera captured the sounds fully. not only that, but after i open my door on the footage the sounds dont stop (unlike how i heard that they stopped exactly when i opened the door). what is going on? they didnt die out and remained until the video ended. what is this? how can i get rid of it? also be welcome to ask anything if i missed a few key details. im new here so redirect me to the correct subreddit if needed. thanks.

This weekly thread is for sharing the stories and narratives of the beings within your mind and the events of your life. Do you go on fantastic journeys with the beings that visit you? Are there elaborate horror stories you are forced to endure? Do your intrusive personalities present themselves as being from or through the other people in your life? Feel free to share the names and descriptions of the beings in your life/mind and the narrative of your lived experience.

You may discover that many of your favorite artists are doing this exact exercise in their most powerful work!

It kind of started a few years ago at a scouts camp before bed, it’s like I hear what I either want to hear or don’t want to hear. It’s more like I wanna know if it’s normal which I want it to be. I get really mad when people ask “are you okay” for a lot of reasons, and me and some girls (btw this was like 7th grade) were laying down in the tent trying to sleep. Then someone asks me if I’m okay and I sit up and like I say what the fuck because I’m mad and ask who said that. Turns out no one did, it sounded so real.

Another time I was at school this year walking from a meeting with some friends before lunch, and I asked something about what time it was. One friend says what time it is, and another says lunch time. I disagree with her because it’s too early, once again nobody actually said anything.

Two days ago I had a little thing with friends, we barely had anything to drink so it wasn’t that. We were talking about AI and how people talk to bots for some reason, and I look down and laugh at something and my friend says the name of some app that’s used to talk to bots that I know of. It’s kinda dirty so I looked up and like said what! Because how would she know about that app. Turns out she didn’t because nobody said anything once again.

I feel kinda crazy and I don’t want to tell anyone because I’m scared of how they’ll react.

Feel free to express your views on society and how an understanding of the voice hearing (and broader experiencing phenomenon) would change the world as we know it. Do you think the world would be a nicer place and we all would get more out of each-other's company if the public's eye were drawn to the HVN and similar experiencing spaces? Do you view modern day humanity as being in a state of perpetual self-enslavement, blinded to it's own nature? Do you think a new age of spiritual enlightenment or self-empowerment is on the horizon and within our lifetimes? Do you think life on earth is comparable to an effective "hell" in the grand scheme of things?

What do you think would make the greatest impact in your life and in the lives of others if it were different?

As always please share through a framing of your personal perspective ("I see it all as," "I believe," "when I think of 'x,' my only reasonable explanation is 'y,'" etc.). If you are of the ilk to write long-windedly about these age old topics, you all are more than welcomed to make a separate post expressing your views. Lastly, please keep mind to focus discussions on voice hearing and similar experiencing phenomena.

Smudging or burning sage help quiet anyone else’s voices?

I have had two experiences with this with two separate people, years apart. The first time I heard the voice it said my name and my friend heard it as well. It was just us inside their apartment. Instantly as soon as we heard it, it sent a chill through our bodies with an intense “primal” fear and we both started freaking out. I asked him what he heard and he confirmed with me that it was my name. The second time I heard this voice I had went to a different friends house for a campfire and had just told him about the voice that said my name. (probably not the first time I had told him)
We go outside to meet his friend and chill by the fire, and some time passes and we were all sharing a joint closing up the night when suddenly I hear this same voice speak again except this time it said my friend’s name. Instantly we both start losing our shit and the Deja vu like chill and “primal” fear returned. His friend who was right next to us when this happened didn’t hear anything and was clueless as to why we were acting how we were. It sounds like a whisper but it was loud. It was definitely the same voice both times. Does anyone have any experiences with an audible voice that others heard as well?

This weekly post was inspired to give the community a place to vent and share common frustrations we find in our lives. If you have more to share on this topic than what would fit in a single comment please feel free to make a separate post! Are you finding conflict with your care-team? Are the medications you're on making life impossible? Have you lost your 3rd job this year because the voices cause you to act oddly around your peers? Are you finding everyone in your life has turned their back on you now that you've fallen into a discriminated category of "unsafe" or "mentally unwell" person? Have you attempted to get your close family and friends to engage in VCVC with you, instead finding they cannot offer you the first nicety?

Feel free to let the world know of your survived abuses, both direct (physical violence) and indirect (neglect or exclusion through social maneuverings) in this post. Everyone's welcome to commiserate and offer paralleling stories of received harm and how they carried on.

I'm just explaining how my voices interact with me. As you can see in the picture, theres many layers to how they communicate. The main people interacting with me are dead people sometimes I catch an angels voice but for the most part its ancestors. And at the bottom theres an image in how they rotate during the day. So two people are assigned at the eyes, meaning they see what I see (basically what I sense). They two pairs of eyes look and witnessing my life and explaining what they see or sense to the closed eyes. The closed eyes represent their state. They cant see are in the dark, they can sense things like my mood or if I'm interacting with someone else. Let me know if you have other questions!

Once a child in my youth I was a bed wetter, night terrors even laying there under a blanket listening to this demon hovering over me pressing my chest I couldn’t breath, this happen several times I hardly slept at all just trying to understand why these things are happening, I was a little older I was sleeping at my brother house in the floor that night I dreamt of what was to come to me, I heard this language kind of like Spanish and Jewish together in tongues, I woke up to brother mom screaming and praying, I finally got up she said Justin” a demon just touched you on your head, I wasn’t to sure of it because I felt fine but I also felt my skin crawl she was crying, I have been in terrifying events that would leave your eyes wide open in you wouldn’t never Believe this story but it’s true, this night was different I was getting used to the darkness the fear I felt fine as I went to church like mom said that same night, I fell asleep but in my sleep I felt like I had headphones on or a shield over my face and body, I heard gnashing of teeth and wailing i tried to wake up but I only faded back into reality with sweat and steam coming off my skin, I saw a figure by the wall it wiped three smudge marks on the wall, I past out when I woke back up I was puzzled, why did a child like me expect to ever be the same after that dream I just will never stop seeing and hearing it. True story

The voices are familiar to see this come back to do what was spoken, there is always a last minute talk with the one that says it will be ok, it is sickening to know the sacrifices have all been set in stone, I just shake my head no”.. no”. It’s entertaining to watch as time just ticks away, reminding me to never stop counting to never hesitate to move at the certain times being a eye sore to the pigs and feather to the wind, you will be ok this voice reminded me, survive is a must to some it is just a way of life, like a puppet with a mask of many lies and betrayal, it is business to count first and never ask questions, assume the target is affirmed, but some how it can’t fulfill the expectations of what has stored upon the face of the voices , now I can see” distance in time is a good place to be when you have no where to go, it’s like taking you second after second breaking your way of thinking breaking the emotions that makes you a human being, being there with darkness in these block walls move red they spin on the ceiling like a drain devouring what’s left of your sanity. This is true. Justin terry hicks age 33 just remember who you are.

Share your theory on your voices, what do you believe them to be? If you have an extended share feel free to make a separate post on your beliefs. Theories do not need to be limited to your own experience and can be speculative on the broader phenomenon.

For instance you're welcome to share that you simply feel your voices are angels, demons, djinn, aliens, some iteration of government surveillance, or manifestations of the collective panpsychic universe... even sea peoples if that is your take on things! Broader theories some older experiencers relate to are economies of abuse and how limiting and external states of mind filter down through society onto vulnerable individuals. What are your ideas, what do your voices say about themselves?

As with everything in the HVN this all needs to be framed as your theories, you're welcome to use hyperlinks to Wikipedia articles or studies on voice hearing populations. 5-28% of the UK report this phenomenon, other studies put these estimates significantly higher. Many take the perspective that all people hear voices and it is a matter of personal fluency that differentiates those that report this experience and those that don't. You should include anything that helps you express your views. Again, express this as your views and less of what it clearly is and what others ought believe.

What is your theory on this experience?

Please forgive me if this post Is a little scattered, I'm finding it quite difficult to focus these days.

*I've posted similar stuff here before, but I'm going to keep doing as this shit is ongoing and I'm not holding it in anymore.

My mother is an energy vampire and oscillates between this child like persona and this old haggered witch. I don't know much about possession, etc but the word seems apt. My "mother" is not herself anymore. She is no longer the same person she used to be, and not in a good way.

Whenever I feel "good" she tries to disrupt me and I feel down again afterwards. She is scum of the earth, or whatever is attached to her is. She has treated me like a punching bag and a tool for her happiness since I was a child. She has shut me down since I was a child. Disrupting my accomplishments and deterring me from doing my best.

I'm currently in a situation where I feel insanely trapped. I'm an adult living living at home and have faced long-term unemployment. To add to this my health is not great right now, and I feel so old for my years.

I had a dream where a small hobbit of a reptile appeared as her in a dream and was limping towards me, calling for my affection. I hugged her/it and it grew in size and began berating me to steal more energy from me.

She has also tired to seduce my several times treating me like her partner. It's sick! This hasn't happened in a long time, but has in the past.

She is keeping me in this situation and keeping me tied to her somehow. I need to break free from her. I was travelling once, I left the country and as soon as I landed, she had no idea that I had left, immediate texts and phones calls despite not talking to her for sometime.

A small cat has started coming round to the house for a while now, about a year, and I was travelling for some time. Before I left the cat was in good health, I return and the cat is covered in grey hairs and seems to have aged at an exacerbated rate.

I've had some very strange experiences and occurrences in my life and in dreams these past few years. I underwent a spiritual attack that lasted 5 days a 2 years ago, whilst my "Mother" and her partner where in the house. My life has not been the same since. During what literally felt like a spiritual r*pe where my head felt like a chest of drawers being raided for an extended period of time, I heard a witch of a voice scream "make him simple!" and my mind has felt suppressed ever since. I've also had a complete personality change. I remember my life before, but I'm not the same.

Due to these occurrences it makes it very hard for me to focus and stay on task, but I'm able to fight it. Even now whilst writing this post I feel confused and as if I'm being held back from speaking my truth.

Each time I try to do something to improve my life, something goes wrong. I'm trying to work on projects and do things that will improve my life and I feel this insane resistance each time I do. I heard a male voice whilst I was working on something say "You can't stop him."

I saw the words "Hurry" flash hypnagogic-ally in my vision during the time I was planning some projects as well, whilst sleeping.

When I do something a voice will "Done it" as if it made me do something.

I heard this voice whisper "Sleep" a number of times also.

A voice keeps saying "Sorry" too.

My diet and lifestyle is usually healthy and I was a very active person before. I now find myself eating a lot of beef, and dairy. Something I would never usually do. I heard a female voice say "I need him!!" as if she was being dragged away, and all of a sudden these cravings are gone?

I seen a fat female demon? In my dream taunting me telling me to eat bacon and cream? Despite those things never usually being part of my diet. Wtf?

I've had many dreams in my past where I'm my younger self being driven around by people showing up as old friends.

I've had dreams where I was trying to escape my situation and I was being dragged back to be something I don't want to be. Men in cars blocking my exits and escape, people pulling me back. Something very weird is going on in my life and probably has been going on for a very long time.

I've heard and seen crazy things during sleep paralysis. A voice telling me to choose "Egypt" or "Babylon".

I had a dream recently where these very tall black demons where sat around me at a table. I appeared as a child and they where speaking, they said my name, and afterwards said "He'll do it." or "He'll go."

I've had dreams where I've seen covens of witches flying around. Had dreams or visions where I've seen this witch being sprayed with water as if being cleaned.

I woke up one time whilst people where "having a conversation in my head". There was silence as if a question had been asked and the reply was "Lemuria"? and all I heard was these banshee like screams. "No!!!!!!"

I've heard a voice say "They're still protecting him and he's hell bent!"

I've seen these demons with glowing yellow eyes in my dreams tell me that "They loved eating their own." and that they can't wait to eat me...

I had a dream whilst I moved out last year and my mother was speaking to me whist a man was behind her and she was basically telling me to "come back home". She was being used like a puppet by the man behind her.

Real life, not a dream... Whilst going to the supermarket some time ago I was making my way back home and the journey back was lined with men in backpacks all on the phone standing at consecutive bus-stops (I know I sound crazy... If the rest of the post hasn't already made you think that, lol). This is a strange occurrence as my area is usually very quiet. One of these men tried to stop me before I came to my house and said "Do you drive yet?". I said "What?" and he was flustered. This same man was yelling "Help" on my street a couple of weeks prior. Again, very unusual for my area.

I've woken up and heard voices telling me to plant b*mbs. Saying profane things such as "Public Masturb**ion" and other stange thing like that.

There are English people involved, Americans involved. Something strange is happening in my life.

Even whilst I'm travelling I'll have the most strangest experiences. Being followed, etc. There's so much weird fucking shit.
