If you are hearing voices it is something to take seriously. I used to hear voices a lot of the time until I started swallowing large amounts of anti-psychotic drugs to suppress them. I wouldn't think about being crazy, voices can arise from a number of illnesses and significant numbers of people hear them who aren't ill at all, though many tend to keep quiet about it. Of the major psychiatric illnesses depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia can all give rise to them. So too can physical conditions epilepsy, brain tumours very rarely, anything that occupies space in the brain like a cyst.
These physical conditions are pretty rare. Brain tumours usually show themselves first with headaches not voices. But because they are an outside possibility and can be drastic you need to get things checked out as a matter of urgency. I would make an appointment with your GP stressing that it is urgent. If you are not offered an appointment pretty quickly I would consider a trip to A and E.
But I would most definitely not leave things.

I should have read your profile before answering where you say you have schizophrenia. If this is the case the physical things I mentioned above have virtually zero probability. You should be within the psychiatric system and hopefully have a worker allocated to you. You need to tell them that your symptoms have worsened. Probably they will suggest increasing your anti-psychotic drug dose but there are other courses of action.
It is still a matter of urgency. The sooner you begin to get on top of voices the better. But it isn't a visit to A and E urgent.

I agree with Steve, You really do need to contact your support worker with a update.
Hope that you soon get sorted. x

Hi all. I am having thoughts about the most beautiful people in the world. Some are famous others are not. I think of all in the same light. I know this is all just me being paranoid and thinking too much. But i can hear them all the time. When i wake up, when i go out, when i eat, when i watch tv, when i watch films, when i listen to the radio, when i listen to my own music, when i go to bed. Am i going crazy?? Does anybody else have this problem?? Help me, please.
