Bipolar, crazy or just over reacting?

Question

Ever since I was little, around 8-9 I've heard these 'voices' when it was completely silent. Ever since then I could never go to sleep, or sit in a room without the TV, a radio or people talking constantly (or else I hear the 'voices') When I go to sleep I always feel like somebody is right there..in front of my face watching me sleep. I always feel this 'presence' in my room. I've grown to live with it. I have been diagnosed as being 'bi polar' before but my mom never believes me when I've told her that. She just says she doesn't remember that I was or she just shrugs it off. She doesn't like to believe in that kind of stuff. I freak out all the time if somebody stands or sits behind me and I can't be in a room by myself because I feel like I'm never 'truly 'alone' So my question is...bipolar, crazy or just over reacting?

Answer 1

No, i don't think you are crazy or over reacting, i felt the same way when i was young!

Answer 2

In this case I really don't know but it sounds a bit like schizophrenia. Here's a link where you can read more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophren...

I looked through the symptoms of bipolarism but from what you say it doesn't seem to match. If you want to check though here's a link about it and the symptoms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_dis...

there's also this thing called auditory hallucinations (talks about it with schizophrenia) and if you want to learn more about that they look at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_ha...

I can't for sure tell you what going on, these are just things that I've heard of before. I don't know if these are the right answers but they might lead you to one. The only way to know for sure is to go to a psychologist, a therapist or a doctor. Hope this helps.  

Answer 3

I think your mom would know if you had been diagnosed as bi-polar.

Usually if you think you are bi-polar or crazy....you are not. People with those conditions are not really in the state of mind to assess themselves as such. You are just a spaz, and yes, you are overreacting.

Answer 4

Can you talk to these voices ?

Are they are asking you questions ?

Do they want something that is good or bad ?
