Bear with me, I'm on an overdose of Ginseng and I keep hearing Noises that don't exist and now an occasional voice that aint mine, so I'm typing to ignore whats going on and hopefully live through this attack of whatever sort it is so I can live on with my life. I'd love to just type it and not press submit, but somehow in my head I don't feel like this will help me if I do not push submit and as such unfortunately subject others to my brain sewage.
So I've been awake for about 19 hours now (that's normal for me, usually go around 30-40), and I can't stop hearing things, Hydro bought some soda that contains Ginseng in it, and after about 12 cans he pretty much is out, he's sleeping over there right now, after subjecting me to torture of various kinds on accident. I've played Portal-2 again in a single sitting right now, but I don't think its helping me to play it, since it didn't stop any of this background noise I've been hearing. I found that locking myself in a closet for approximately 2-4 minutes helped at first, but it stopped working and the noises have been getting progressively louder, and that is very annoying, frustrating, and new to me. I'm used to this stuff only happening maybe once or twice a month, and going away after 20 or 30 minutes. But rather its been going on or about 7 hours now, and its louder then I've ever heard it before. Thus is bothersome to me, since the noises are generally threatening sounds, like a sliding bade over a rock, or as I heard earlier, a chirping bird that abruptly stops. Other sounds are not threatening, but blatantly impossible, like hearing 4 cats mewing in the front room earlier this evening. Generally when 'm having one of these attacks,I attempt to conceal myself in the smallest place possible, for especially if there is hallways, i can hallucinate and see things that are...troublesome, yet obviously impossible and unreal. So I've found its -okay, just stopping for a second to mention I could have sworn it sounded like that plane was dropping bombs-, So I've found that its best to stick in smaller places, and if things get too intense, I go crawl in a closet and wait for the noise to die down.
The noise isn't dying down though, and in fact its gotten louder even as I ytype this. I'm absolutely positive there is a voice speaking to me right now, but if I keep typing I won't hear what it says, I got a good feeling I don't want to know what its saying. Btw, if my Grammar or spelling is horrible I'd like to note i don't think I can spend the time to go back and correct the grammar and spelling on this, if i make a mistake I think is just going to stay there.
Has anyone else had experiences of this sort and knows what to do about it? I'm not entirely certain what I'm expect- THAT ONE IS DROPPING BOMBS I'M SURE OF IT- can someone tell Hydro to move his house? I don't like being below and airport, I've been hearing bombs for the last 2 hours and its bothering me.
Now, currently I'm hearing what sounds like wood being chopped outside the window, and now it sounds like a person is standing outside the window, but I'm certain they are not. I'm also hearing crows. I think I'll take this moment to say I don't think his is helping at all, I wish Hydro would wake up because if at least one person is sane and awake in here, I might be capable of just going to sleep and waiting for the noises to go away again. I spend too much of my sleeping time fighting this crap to do it when I'm awake too, I'm stronger then this, I just want it to go away. Now his damn dog won't stop barking, s if I didn't have enough on my mind already.
I don't think I'm going to spend the night at this house again, there is too much weird stuff going on here for me, and I think I'd be more comfortable in my house where I know where everything is. Besides I feel a bit like a third leg over here. Only 37 more minutes until Hydro wakes up, then I'm free, I can sleep, I'll have something to protect me from what I'm hearing then, and maybe I'd be able to sanely rest.
Sorry for the WoT.

I think you're suffering from a mental condition called 'Mad As Hell'.
I'm not a Doctor, but I say what I see.
-
Please tell me these "soda's" with Ginseng are not actually energy drinks
12 cans in a short time frame hearing noises is the least of your worries..
-
Tis Soda, not energy drinks.
-
Try getting some sleep. It's no wonder you're hearing things. ;)
-
Most I managed without sleep is 36 hours. I don't actually know what Ginseng is, but if it's making you hear voices, it's probably best not to take too much in one go. At this stage, thinking is bad. Try to not think about anything at all, and see if that helps.

......
Do you know how large of a paradox this sentence actually is?
-
Yes. But try and not think about anything too much. Relax, and stuff.
-
I don't actually know what Ginseng is,
Its a plant that provides stimulation when consumed, Its why its a common ingredient in Energy Drinks..
-
Monster! :gawe:

Every day I hear people telling me to kill myself. It's worse when it's dark or I can't see.
And now I keep waking up blind. For the first few minutes of the day, I can't see anything and this makes the voices in my head get louder and louder and louder.
(Doesn't help that I keep having the same traumatising nightmare, each time worse than the last, each period of blindness lasting longer)
For me, I find that listening to music helps. Heck, I'm permanently attached to my headphones, blaring music away whenever possible, just so I can't hear them.
Besides that, I don't know.
-
How do you know that all those noises were hallucinations? All the things you mentioned, it wouldn't be inconcievable if they were actually there.
Sometimes I hear "Age of Empires" noises when I'm trying to go to sleep, which is strange because I'm pretty sure no one in my family plays it anymore

^Weird, I do also.^

I hear strange noises everyday, wait that's just my crazy neighbors.

You live with Hydo?
-
Kujz, I think your hearts gon' blow up.

Well if this is a constant thing, you are most likely suffering from Schizophrenia, which is a mental disorder. I know because I have it, and a few of my IRL friends have it as well. If it's happening constantly and lasts hours, you really should consult a doctor or a psychologist.
-

No I was over at his house last night because I decided not to go home.
And most of it has dissipated again, I should be fine in 2-3 hours. As Fotepx said, the lesson is don't drink Ginseng.
-
Actually, i think the lesson is don't drink SO MUCH ginseng. it's fine in smaller doses, although even a small 'shot' of it gives me a headache anymore. And probably get more sleep than you do. Believe me, it catches up to you after a decade or two.

I already discussed that with him :gawe:
And I didn't know you suffered from schizophrenia... wow, there's plenty of people on here with my disorders O:

Yes, but I only hear things when it's disturbingly quiet.

I hear more when it's dark or quiet, but I almost always hear the voices e_e
-
Oddly, dark, quiet, and small spaces help me personally, but if its not small nothing helps.

Ginseng doesn't really do much. If enough is taken, it can elevate blood pressure and increase the heart beat. The amount found in a soda is so negligible, however, that it likely isn't affecting you at all. While I'm certainly not a medical professional, I'd wager to say that your issues are most likely a result of lack of sleep. If the soda is high in caffeine, you may also be dehydrated.
