dazed and confused Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I've had voices scream at me before. Can never work out why. When diagnosed with any type of psychotic disorder hearing voices is a common symptom. I've seen many people mention that they hear screaming voices I'm not the only one so why isn't this a symptom as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderful.Cheese Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I’m sorry. I don’t understand. Are you saying that professionals are saying that loud or screaming voices isn’t a SZ symptom? Because that doesn’t seem to be accurate with what I’ve seen people write or talk about even. Or hell, what I’ve even experienced at bad and low times. On meds it doesn’t seem to be as bad and loud IME. But still. It has been in the past definitely yelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazed and confused Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 I mean it's not listed as a symptom. It's usually just hears voices. has delusions and paranoia (as well as other stuff). No mention specifically of screaming voices. I had no idea this was a thing until it happened to me. I thought only I got screamed at but nope apparently not. No one told me it was possible. I see lots of people talk about it but no doctor has ever asked me if it happens and I don't think it's listed as a symptom in the DSM.

gb84 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It probably has just not been reported enough to be included. That does not mean it doesn't happen. Just make sure you report this symptom when you see your doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaryland Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 When I had a psychotic breakdown early this year I definitely was living in a false world, backed by my delusion that a family member had died suddenly and I just got the news when I woke up that day. I have no idea where, why, or how this happened, but I was living in an alternate reality at that time and had very loud, instrusive thoughts. I specifically remember that day having to see a meditation specialist because they didnt have anywhere else to put me unti my psychiatrist appointment time, and her telling me to relax, and just to start counting 1,2,3,4, etc... in my head as she guided me through meditation. But I remember saying to her "I can't hear myself counting because my negative thoughts are drowning it out because it's so loud in my head" then she replied "then start counting louder, more assertive. Don't make this voice scream or sound angry, but do make it lets you release other thoughts for a moment..." I know what ya mean by the screaming voices, sometimes I get them in dreams (not often) but it's pretty distressing upon awakening because I will be in a confused state of mind and have a negative/creepy feeling as if something bad happened, is happening or is going to happen. How can you describe your delusions? What/how do they manifest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully it's not a constant problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coraline Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I think voices can present themselves in many ways.. I know that when evil internet explains symptoms it's vague.. I'd bring up this detail with your pdoc..I'm sure it's not strange.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
