I can see how hard this was for you to talk about, and you're very brave for telling it. Thank you for sharing your story, man. You'll help lots of people by being open about your experiences. We seem to have had a lot of similar experiences, so please know that you're not alone. Subscribed.
Thank you for this. I know it must have been hard to share that experience with us. Please keep up the great work helping people going through psychosis and helping others to understand this condition. I heard whispering voices in a dream the other night and I hope it isn't an omen of something I'll have to go through. But if it does, at least I have people like you and your helpful content that I can confide in. Thank you again Layo.
Thank you for sharing. My psychosis involved delusional thoughts without any voices or hallucinations thankfully. But it was still a scary story and VERY similar to yours!
Thank you for sharing this, I have recently been struggling with stimulant / sleep deprivation induced psychosis and having trouble identifying if it is still present. Its been about a week, all visual hallucinations and the voices have gone as far as I can tell and the only real symptom left is paranoia about being in psychosis. I have come to the conclusion there is no point obsessing about whether I'm in it, I have to just go with the flow and work to better my mental health in every way possible.
Keep doing what you're doing. You are an excellent narrator and story teller. You have a very calm vibe about you. Found you through your video on Jung and psychosis, and adored your empathetic understanding. Love your videos mate. 👍🏻
Yeah hearing voices is the worst part of my disorders. I can have a hard time concerning If they’re real or not. Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s not easy and most people who haven’t experienced auditory hallucinations don’t know how to deal with us.
@@layotheleprechaun hey bro. Thanks so much for this. I am recovering from psychosis. For 2 years I’ve been hearing voices. Slowly but surely I’ve found methods of preventing them. I only hear voices at home now, I used to hear them everywhere I went. I believed that people could see me and read my mind. I believed I was telepathic. I’ve even caused 2 public scenes at my aunts house and mine. Fighting with neighbours verbally etc. Then I realised that it’s impossible for anyone to see me. For the remainder of the 2 year cap, I was hearing voices only at home and not anywhere else. I’ve worked for 7 months since August this year after another psychosis break due to meth and benzodiazepines. This was a week episode but I was unconscious. I’ve had 7 psychosis breaks due to drugs in my life m. …A week ago I went visit my sister in Johannesburg. I then suddenly stopped hearing them because I had the most ridiculous epiphany. They do not know a thing about me. I am relocating to stay at my sisters place since I don’t hear voices there. I’ve even travelled to Australia to visit my cousins and aunt after 10 months into psychosis. However, I heard voices in Australia too. The voices in my head are going away slowly. Will they ever stop completely?
Hey Layo, it's Andy! I just want to commend you on this video. It was quite visible that this was difficult for you, but you still pursued on, well done, I look forward to your next video! Take care brother
I watched and listened to your whole video, and then I subscribed to your channel. I do not suffer from psychosis. However, I had two parents who were in and out of psychiatric hospitals, all through my childhood, and into my adult life. My mother was schizoaffective And my father suffered from totally debilitating depression. I have had issues, but not as serious as my parents. Watching your video Really helps me understand how hard it must have been for them. It gives me empathy. Thank you.
No, thank you for giving me an anchor in an endless sea. It's nice knowing I'm not totally alone in the experience.. your voices are nicer than mine however. I'd say mine are like demons and I'm not even religious. Go figure that one eh.
I have laughed so hard and not because I find you hilarious but because I am an African lady and funny enough what you have gone through is most likely the same with what I have gone through. I have just one thing to say, these things are real just don't Know how to get to them but one day we shall.
Thanks for sharing your experience🙏my nephew giggles or laughs when he’s by himself. Do you experience that as well? My sister thinks it’s the voice that’s caused it
Could you by chance make a spiritual perspective of people who hear voices? This was a great video sometimes weed can cause the auditory hallucinations. I also read an article stating marijuana can cause early schizophrenia to happen. I have been recently experiencing criticizing rude voices commenting on everything I do it’s just crazy. I remember being in my room I heard a deep deep voice talking to me was scary telling me not to listen to insults and one of the rude voices said ‘if I don’t do this then how will you react when it happens to you in person?’ Doing this to make you stronger. Is there something that causes it to happen other than stress?
Thank you 🙏🏻 Do you mean a spiritual perspective on why we hear voices? I believe stress and emotional turmoil have a huge part to play. I made a video here on why a prominent psychologist believes we hear voices ruclips.net/video/2aelu6elZRc/видео.html
@@layotheleprechaun Yes that’s the one spiritual perspective on why it happens I don’t mean with the standard Christian idea but I mean more of an indigenous pov of it. Thanks for the link and for your videos they really help!
@@cloud6318 omg that’s amazing I wondered this but I don’t know how to handle it it became too much and after I started taking medicine olanzapine and cray last it went away
Thank you for sharing this very personal story of your lived experience. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried Internal Family Systems therapy with regards to their voice hearing. I ask because I feel like this would be a powerfully beneficial approach to creating harmony with voices but not sure.
I wonder what these voices are : demons ? thoughts spoken out loud ? or confirmations from the benevolent side sometimes ? All i know is whenever i hear a few words from the Holy Spirit makes up my entire day and even a few days after. Voices can shipwreck my faith. If i take spychmeds , i'm sure all inspirations to paint ot to create something will be gone. Yes if you ask do i hear Voices ? the answer is yes , but i'm not concerned.
so you basically got the hallucinations along with...probably having the original covid... i think i also had the original covid..and i experienced mental hallucinations shortly after the first week of it.... it was unreal...
People need to understand that it all has to do with your energy. A baby is 100% positive and a psychosisperson is around 35% positive. You need to have more positive energy/thoughts in the body to not get targeted by these beings.. so sad that people does not understand this simple thing.
It wasn’t your friends, it was negative beings who want you to feel negative feelings all the time. Sorry to say it but you need more positivity in you life and start laughing at the voices instead of talking to them. They disappear in 2 weeks time bc then you DOES NOT FEED THEM.. 🥳
Yo bro amazing story... I was called a moffie ("f@gg0t" in a language called Afrikaans) by a guy that was my weed dealer ive been lookimg for a story like this because thats when this voice who i believe it was/is myself calling me moffie moffie (f*gg*t) all the time till i got diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2019
@MoGeenius ja G obviously I'm on treatment to help minimise it but I still hear moffie and things like smoke weed and others but not as much anymore and you bru?
@@ConciousCamja bru. I still hear voices sometimes. They also say m0ffie and kak. But try repeating in your head “I don’t hear voices” over and over. That helps me. I also say it quietly with my mouth. It stops my voices. I never told anyone yet bra. 2 years now. How long is yours happening?

thanks for opening up very good listen :)

Thanks for sharing your experience🙏my nephew giggles or laughs when he’s by himself. Do you experience that as well? My sister thinks it’s the voice that’s caused it
I will only giggle or laugh by myself if I’ve said a joke to myself😂 laughing is cathartic, I wouldn’t worry about that unless it sounds sinister
@@layotheleprechaun oh you don’t have that symptom, I guess each person has different symptoms.

@@cloud6318 omg that’s amazing I wondered this but I don’t know how to handle it it became too much and after I started taking medicine olanzapine and cray last it went away
Do you know viral infections, especially severe viral infections, can cause hallucinations?
I heard that there was a link between covid and psychosis. It probably had a minor part to play. I was a lost soul beforehand
Thank you for sharing this very personal story of your lived experience. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried Internal Family Systems therapy with regards to their voice hearing. I ask because I feel like this would be a powerfully beneficial approach to creating harmony with voices but not sure.
thanks. I tried it on myself without any assistance and it went terribly. It would probably be beneficial in a therapy session.
God love him poor man
He is recovered now, lucky man
How long did you live with those voices? Thanks for the help
Much love from your leprechauns thank you for sharing your story
Thank you brother
I didn't know prince Harry was Irish? Great video, btw...
You mistake me for a prince, I am the king
😂🤣😂 he is so much smarter.@@layotheleprechaun
