i have noticed that lately i have been hearing voices, but only when i listen to music. i often have to turn around and see if there is somebody behind me, it's when i have earphones in. is this normal or part of psychosis? i apparently suffer with psychosis anyway, and this has happened on a few occassions in the past but i thought nothing of it and thus haven't mentioned it to any doctors, but recently it's happening more.

are you on medication at the moment?
Have you ever heard of the Voice Collective? It's a really useful site all about hearing voices and has lots of useful information. It also has a forum which might be useful to you. I hope you're alright and that this hasn't been too scary for you.
Take care
i don't know whether to even mention it to anybody, i'm so scared that whatever i say might be taken as a sign that they need to section me again to punish me. i'm scared and don't know what to do.
do the voices say anything, or is it more that you hear a sound and think someone is there?
i understand what you're saying.
in the past it's been a random male voice, usually saying my name, sometimes other things but i can't make out what. recently i'm not sure, but think the voice might have been my dad, saying my name and other things which again i can't make out cause it's muffled. not unusual, some years ago i thought i heard my dad having a heart attack downstairs, when i went to check, he was sat at the computer, all fine.

It's taken over a year for me to find a medication that works okay, although it's starting to not work now so it is being changed again soon. There are so many different medications, you will find one that works for you eventually, as frustrating as it is, it's just trail and error.
Omg hi is right, I think you need to tell your mental health workers about all your symptoms. It may be they'll up your dose or change your meds if they know the truth, Remember mental health workers can only help if you let them.
I really don't think they'll section you if you tell them, sectioning is usually a last resort. There are definitely other things they'll do first, hopefully which will make you feel more safe and stable.
