Hi Sandra,
I DEFINITELY think that voices or any other symptom of brain dysfunction gets worse with stress. Any illness does. I know that when I have been having a 'nervous breakdown' (I've had what would qualify 3 or 4 times), my body and mind are under quite a bit of stress, and I start 'hearing' things outside of my head. I also start wondering if things I've heard have come from my children, or from my childrens' toys. I have to look around for the source of the voice. THis only happens when my body and mind are at its breaking point.
Why do you not have any mental health care? Why do you not have anyone to talk to about this? With kids, you need to take your health as a #1 concern, or else the whole family will be suffering. I'm not preaching, I'm talking out of experience. I have 3 young ones and I can't properly mother them if my mental or physical health is out of whack. I hope you're going to make it your priority to FIND a team to work with. Do you have a supportive husband or other family? I know that the whole mental health field can be frustrating to work with, but please try to stick with it until you find the right people who you can trust and who will support you in your desire for health. They are out there!!!!! I'm on my third pdoc in 6 months, and finding a new doctor requires work, but it is worth it to find someone who will be with you for a long while.
