deeschmee Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Let me first say I have a diagnosis of PTSD major depressive disorder. I was hospitalised in Aug.and since then have been noticing faint voices mostly while sleepy. Sometimes they are louder and today was a more prominent one almost as if I was dreaming but awake. It was female telling me to get out of bed. So far they haven't said anything bad and due to my sudden suicidal onset in Aug I'm just trying to figure it out. I do spend a lot of time alone and just got out of a stressful situation Any thoughts or advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I get them a lot, but they are worst when I am over-tired and/or stressed. I work hard to not be stressed and not over-tired as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingteapot Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Not trying to scare you but the voices started when I was sleepy. Then they progressed. Not saying this will happen to you. Now He lives inside of me. I hear his voice on a relatively constant basis. Nothing will get rid of Him. But usually when one is sleepy or over-stressed the voices seem to become more prominent.

deeschmee Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Is this typical that the onset of this type of mi is sudden? Any advice? Signs to watch for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeremonyNewOrder Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I recall reading somewhere that there is a diagnosis of psychosis in PTSD but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeschmee Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I just read about that too. Makes sense. It sounds like my abusers voice come to think of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g8orgirl Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Are you only hearing these voices while sleepy either getting ready to fall asleep or just waking up? Hypnagogic hallucinations work this way and lots of people have them, even folks without any mental illness. Definitely worth discussing with your Pdoc though.

deeschmee Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yes. While waking up or falling asleep. Thank you for that info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterRosie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Up to 25% of the population has hypnogogic hallucinations. It's not MI - it's just the brain not being all that great at differentiating between sleeping and waking states. But, yes, PTSD can also wreck havoc on things. It depends on who/what you're seeing/noticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience voices while sleepy are hypnagogic hallucinations and they are very different to my psychosis hallucinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
