Medical Mystery: How auditory and visual hallucinations led to a startling diagnosis for one woman

She thought she was losing her mind, but a medical mystery was taking her life.

Lauren Wells started the pandemic of 2020 in one of the most vulnerable of places in Ohio, a nursing home near Toledo.

By the end of May, a promotion and move to Sandusky, but two months into her administrator job, strange things started happening.

“My skin just felt very wrong, like a film being on it, or it felt sticky, I was also hearing music that really wasn't there, I was lying in bed and I heard seagulls and there were no seagulls,” Lauren said.

I don't see, how hearing voices is an illness? Are you're own thoughts an illusion? Is colour an illusion? How you think, is who you are (consider this!). It can also be an addition to you're personality. Ask questions. Ask the hard questions to you're self, and know you are in CTRL.

I have them, voices. I'm NOT schizophrenic nor did I ever had a psychoses (professionally confirmed). I'm mentally stable and I feel good about myself (I love who I am). I also have real lifetime friends, and never feel alone (I know these people since I was a teenager, now I'm 47).

I also have/talk to them (my voices), just as I can talk to any of you. I have had whole discussions with them about lots of different topics. My voices are consistent in terms of how they sound and who they are. They seem to have there own personality! I hear 2 (a women and a man), and they never try to make me do anything negative or command me in any sort of way. It's almost like having two friends in my head... I've had this for years (7 years) and still think it's weird and odd. Once I decided to talked to professionals about this. They also thought my case is a bit odd since I'm not paranoid or did I ever loose contact with reality. I'm just an other human being with no special powers. I was surprised when that question was asked "Do you have any special powers".

No I do not have powers! I'm just a complected person who loves him self!
