Q: Hearing noises/voices
asked by: Rebelguy on February 21st, 2008

Until this week I never really thought much about Schizophrenia or Psychosis. I knew the general meaning behind it, but never much detail.

I don't know for how long, but I've somewhat often heard noises and the occasional voice. Mostly noises.

Especially the phone ringing. I could be in my car with the radio on, and I'll swear that I hear my cell phone ringing. I'll check and 9 time out of 10 I'm not getting a call. Sometimes it happens at home when there is no background noise though.

I'm noticed when I'm alone and left to my own thoughts, like trying to go to sleep, I'll hear strange things. Sometimes it's just a "WOOOO!" type of noise. Kind of like someone cheering for a sporting team.

Now I know I have a strong sense of internal dialog, but this is sort of a step up from that. It's not something that I'm trying to think about. It just sort of happens.

Now I don't hear voices telling me to do things. Nothing like that. I do think I hear a word or two from time to time, but they don't make much sense.

At times I don't seem to have full control over my own internal voice. I might be praying, but my thoughts will throw in a "f*** God" type of statement which I'll immediately amend my prayer to attempt to apologize for.

I find it odd that my mind betrays me in that way. It annoys me as it interrupts what I'm trying to pray. I can typically start to control it once my inner voice starts down that path. It's definitely my own inner voice and not that of something else.

I used to think it was my own personal demon that I had to contend with. By that, I don't mean to say that I think I've got some evil thing in me, but just that it was something attempting to play with me. Does that make sense?

These thing's don't stop me from living my life in any way, but I'm curious if they show any possibility of progressing in to something that I should be concerned about.

Thanks in advance!

you have no idea how relieved I am to hear you say this .. ALL of these things happen to me which I found weird but I am ESPECIALLY weirded out that the same thing happens to me when I pray .. I'll pray and then just outta nowhere be like f* god I hate you anyway .. and then quickly think no I don't mean it I'm sorry and go back and dorth arguing with myself in my head on whether I hate god or not .. It's always really confused me .. I know I'm hearing things at times and I'll tell people and theyre like well wht are they saying .. But I don't even know I just know I'm hearing words .. It's odd tho because I'm actually was diagnosed Bipolar 5 years ago and I don't think hallucinations (or cursing at god) generally happen with bipolar disorder.

Sounds more like simply obsessive thoughts than schizophrenia to me, but either way, a psychologist would be able to tell you for sure. OCD doesn't necessarily always present with the compulsive behaviors (like compulsive handwashing) sometimes it is more about the obsessive thoughts that are intrusive and unwanted.

Hallucinations can happen with bipolar disorder, or any affective disorder. It's not necessary for the diagnosis, but it's possible.

The mind sometimes tries to do things that you consciously don't want. There might be a subconscious meaning to it (like the mind trying to prove that nothing is really holy, which is true on a certain level, or perhaps part of you has a subconscious disdain for authority) or it might be just an obsessive behaviour of the mind.

i used to hear a voice on a cell phone when i used to talk to my ex girlfrend, it happened many times, it always happened when i was talking to her and her hands were occupied because she had to use both hands carrying somthing, she wouldnt say il call you back she would just put the phone in her pocket, and say "im gona put you in my pocket" id say "ok"

then the voices would begin, i tried to write it of because at first it was just a brushing sound of her phone moving around in her pocket. but i could hear an actual voice, identifying himself as david. he would say stuff i cant remember now, but i believed then that it was the devil. i would talk to him and threaten him, i was not afraid i just wanted him to go away i would threaten him.
then my gf would pick up the phone from her pocket and we would just talk and id forget all about it. until the next time she would put me in her pocket and it would start again it was a real voice and he always identified himself as david. i cant remember what he said but i hated him, the devil.
then i told my gf dont put me in your pocket again, she asked why, i made up some stuff, like you can just call me back. she said "ok"

it never happened again after that.

Although she did put me in here pocket again
then i just heard a scraching noise

well good question
im a christian and i hear gods voice and im a follower of him. not only that i also hear the voice of the enemy. he would try to put me off god or try to deceive me by saying nasty things to me about him. these voices alot of times people hear voices which are true and comes from the devil.im not saying all these voices are from him. but be alert the bible says and talks about satan falling from heaven to this world were living in. this scripture is found in the bible.

Eph 6:10-17

The Whole Armor of God

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

ill ask you a honest question do you want to be healed from this ocd. if you truly do i know the answer and solution to your problem. his name is jesus to receive healing you must receive the healer into your life jesus christ, email me if you want to know more
godbless amen he can restore you to health and heal your wounds

1 John 4:1-3

Love for God and One Another

4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.



2 Cor 11:13-15
13 These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.

understand we all need jesus for the salvation of our souls and to protect us from the evil one as we live in this world this is what the bible says about him.


John 10:9-10
jesus is talking

9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief (devil) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

i hope that all people may see a need for god and his son jesus and you may beleive me or not but if you would like to beleive ask god to reveal himself to you.

godbless

Amen
say it preacher! The Bible is our only defense!
1 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds and casting down imaginations imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God"

The best move we can make is to seek to know God the Father through he knowledge of His Son Jesus. Know that any attack on our thoughts when we desire or realize the need of a personal relationship through salvation, is just that an attack. "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7)but you must first submit yourself to God. Don't not settle for any thought, plan action or deed that is out of line with God's Will for your life.
