Okay.. so basically this is hard to explain but I am going to try...
(some background information) Im a 21 yr old male- ever since jr high & high school I have been having significant anxiety and depression.. in the past few years it has become much more severe and for a while I was taking antidepressants which helped. I have been off them for about 6 months and have been doing alright..
My question doesnt have much to do with that but I think it is important to know...

Okay so recently for the past few weeks or so I have been getting this weird feeling..
I can't really tell what it is but for a few seconds it will feel like I am almost hearing voices but nothing specific.. I dont know if it is voices or what but I am kind of freaked out...
it sounds like... what a busy cafeteria or restaurant sounds like if you were to be alone.. like a lot of different voices make a sound but there are no words that really stand out and nothing makes sense..
it feels almost like there is just so much stuff going on in my head and it wont stop...
I can kind of shake it off and make it stop after a little bit but I notice it happens more and more. (not too often maybe once/twice every few days)

Im currently going under a change of insurance so I can't make an appointment with a doctor for a few weeks so I was trying to see if I could get some opinions/advice from the great people of the internet :)

Okay so.. thanks for helping!
 
Many people do have this symptom even without mental illness. mostly happens when stressed out. if youre not hearing anything specific try not to worry about it. only consider anti psychotics if you cannot function at all because they have very many side effects (weight gain mostly which can lead to diabetes)

"hearing voices; voices in head" is probably one of the most overrated mental phenomenons. i think most people overreacted to much about the so called "voices"...
it's just your verbal inner activity getting a litle bit twisted...

I tend to agree.

Have you heard of your "Reticular activation system". I know this sounds silly, but its a mechanism in your mind that focuses on anything you think has value or could be a threat. And I know that can be quite trippy ( just like the phenomenon of deciding you want a particular car, and then suddenly noticing it everywhere).

My advice would be to be logical. If you have any weird or whatever thoughts in your head, ask yourself - does this make sense? What reason do I have to believe this?

If you do that you can be a lot more certain and have less doubt whether your thoughts in your head are delusional or not.

Id also say remember to relax. If the thoughts arent really causing any problems then just allow them. You might wanna try meditation, or trying a sensory deprivation tank..

Same, one of the reasons i stopped using trippy materials at all because the sound of a crowd would be bad. The drugs in general really messed up my head and i started experiencing this constantly, anybody slightly out of distance of hearing and my mind would just interpret it negatively.

I went on SSRI (Citalopram) for a few months and saw a CBT therapist and the walls don't talk to me anymore so if it does get worse i'd recommend that.

Ya the crowd sounds I would here in like a mall where there where crowds of ppl but this was a different type of audible voice.....When you say walls that interesting because I would here voices that sounded like they where above the ceiling or a ball bouncing above the ceiling....Crazy crap fo sho.
 
hmmm.. it actually was just happening a few minutes ago and happened a few times today which reminded me to check this post...
guess i should go back on an SSRI.... ive been thinking about it a lot since i can barely get out of bed these days since my depression came back hard... and at least it sounds like it would help the weird anxiety voices..

Have you ever use meth or MDMA or any other drug that can cause psychosis.....Sever MDD (Major depressive disorder) that I have can cause those stadium crowd voices so yes maybe getting back on your med is the best bet.
