Never have experienced hearing voices, just the dialouge that I have with myself in my head, which I think everyone has.
I have suffered with depression and anxiety. I used to have panic attacks as a child, but I didn't know what was happening to me. I'd just tell my mum I had "that feeling" again (sick to my stomach, that fight or flight feeling, etc). It became quite debilitating by the time I reached juniour high, and that's when I saw someone and figured out what was going on. The depression came after the anxiety because of the interference in my life. I've basically got it all under control now, but I do go through phases and figure that I will for the rest of my life. Basically I'm chemically imbalanced at times. Anxiety is one of the scariest things. For me, it comes when something new in my life starts, change is hard. But anyways, that is my experience with the mental health topic
