Hi everyone. I know I am probably being irrational but the anxiety has taken over and I'm too scared!
My sibling lives at home with us and is a real handful. He's always shouting my mum, and we all do worry about him a lot as he has substance misuse issues. He was downstairs going on about something and I put my earphones in. He left the room and went through to my neighbours. I chose a song to listen to on my earphones, then after about 15 seconds, chose a new song to put on. I heard then, clear as day, in my ears, my brother shouting 'mum'. I said 'mum, brother is shouting you' and she said she never heard it as he's next door. Nobody else in the room heard it. I felt so panicked. I'm not really tired and I wasn't feeling anxious at the time.
I put the songs back on to see if it was a sound in the song I could hear but it wasn't. I'm scared as I've read before on forums of people who have a schizophrenia diagnosis that their first symptom was hearing a loved one say their name etc. Having something like this would be my very worst fear! I'm just so frightened I'm in the stage of developing schizophrenia before it really kicks in and I stop thinking anything is wrong :(
When I told my friend, she said it was definitely weird after hearing he wasn't even in the house and she's never experienced this. Now I can't stop panicking and I am so scared :( my partner also says nothing like this has ever happened to them.
I don't know what to do, I'm terrified I am developing schizophrenia as I am in my mid 20s which is when it happens. I'm also scared to hear any other things or experience any other symptoms :(
I just want to cry.
