Jingle Bells

Post Reply New Topic

I started hearing voices in my head a long time ago, but they've gotten increasingly irritating as of late. They have gotten into the habit of regularly singing Christmas carols, especially Jingle Bells. It's June, nowhere near Christmas, and I've done nothing related to Christmas in any way lately. I'm really confused as to what stimulated this strange fixation! Any ideas?

I have a friend who hears voices. Has for some years.

We were watching a rerun of "the Jeffersons" when he turned to me and reportedly flatly that all his voices "were angry about having to watch these Black people".

This past winter he told me that his voices whined that "you wont take us all on a trip to the Bahamas".

That "us all" part is whats so funny.

My buddy probably has some racists attitudes, and Im sure he yearns for the beach sometimes- so the voices arent completely alien to his personality, but he doesnt have any control of them either so they operate like independent entities. And they even act like uninvited houseguests who expect to be taken on vacations!

So its hard to say why your voices would sing christmas carols in June. Christmas is thought of as a happy occasion that some people fixate on when theyre under stress at other times of the year. Maybe you're under stress and christmas carols are comforting. But it sounds like christmas is just a nonsequitor to you (like it would be for most people in June) so I dont know. It may not have much to do with your life in any meaningful way.

I think the voices are just as*holes...

I have bi polar type 2, and I took an SSRI once. if you dont know you have bi polar type 2and you take an ssri it will drive you into a manic episode. Manic episodes often can be characterized by hearing voices. I noticed these voices in my head as a distinctive third party, like a tv playing. It sounded like the typical horror movie "voices in head" scene, ten or twenty people talking all at once in a very ghostly manner, at first it was funny, then scary, then annoying and finally after a few hours it went away.
It seems both of you can distinctly notice the difference in your own thoughts and a "third party" thought. This can be caused by multiple personality disorders, OCD (I have this type of OCD, its obsessive thoughts, kinda weird concept but sometimes they sound like your own thoughts, but are very unwanted and "intrusive" thoughts that, although usually unplesant and petty, are often obsessed over, bi polar type 1 (manic episode) and multiple other things.
