 sober auditory hallucinations, can't talk to psychiatrist

my ears have started lying to me
there isn't spontaneous creation of new sounds but the sounds that i do hear can be monumentally misconstrued
often
i believe some of this is do to my brain hearing a sound and not knowing what to make of it so simply going to what closest exists in my memory
one of the most common instances is that when i hear talking,singing,laughing
i usually interpret this as sobbing, arguing, screaming often crystal clear
so when someone in another room is ACTUALLY in distress i simply try not to awknowledge it
other stimuli can cause manifestations that simply arn't anything similar to the actual stimuli in times when i do find out that i was wrong
my family has mental illness of differnt assortments on both sides of the family
4 people that i know of have killed themselves in my family ( i don't know a large part of my family on fathers side) many are diagnosed depression, bipolar and grandmother was schizophrenic ( delusions, hearing voices)
psychedelics don't seem to help or hurt the situation, but marijuana does terrible detriment to me
i am under state mental health commitment and i fear if i told my psychiatrist i may be forced into a mental hospital
i have no one to talk to about this, i'm not sure what i want out of this topic but i'd appreciate responses

Do not take psychedelics. They can trigger full-on schizophrenia, and just because you've avoided that till now doesn't mean you will always avoid it.
That sucks, I'm sorry.

Your best idea is to describe it to the Psych like you did here. Make sure not to use the phrase "hearing voices" especially since what you have described is not the same as schizophrenic voices.

well, i've had these issues to varying extents as long as i can remember
and, as of 250-300 times ingesting psychedelics in the past 2 years hasn't seemed to have significant effect. pot always has and then when i quit smoking pot it always mitigates to previous levels
sleep loss and stress both seem to trigger it

Holy fucking shit dude, that's like a trip every 2 or 3 days. I sometimes get auditory hallucinations and I only trip every few months. Have you even had enough of a sober period to know that they're not having a significant effect?

i'm too afraid
i've been in the state psych ward before, it was a shitty way to live and once i was put on antipsychotics it gave me akathesia, made my muscles weak couldn't stand up for extended periods, had problems taking shits because i couldn't control my muscles enough to force it out.
accompanied with a constant sensation of drowning
never going to let that happen again

month and half
and a few other times i would have 2-4 weeks
there was.. reduced brain activity, reduced ability to express myself. no noticable change in psychological abberations
i had a period of
daily amphetamine use that caused problems psychologically.
from age 14-16
recently i've quit doing all drugs since about a month ago except mushrooms ( once a week) and once a month i use ketamine

Give your mind a break let it recooperate sorta I'd stop doing drugs for a few months let alone phsychadellics. There could be something wrong with your processing of info in your brain I dunno. Stress and sleep loss can trigger a lot of temporary problems sleeploss can causes hallucinations and temporary mental problems. Some people under stress may get a sort of hypochondria and think they are getting sick.

Take a break and if it is getting worse or posing a threat on your life or well being it would be good to talk to someone

Try to contact your family, if your grandmother was schizophrenic they may have some advice on how to deal with the hallucinations, or at least have some comforting words. And taper down teh drugs even more.

I'm not a psychiatrist so take this with a grain of salt, but if it's not too bothersome, weather through it.
It sounds like the part of your brain that interprets speech is running full throttle, it would make sense that pot greatly increases this. Stay away from pot.
Edit to add:
You should consider removing stimulants from your diet (like if you drink coffee) and I could hypothetically see anti-anxiety meds helping. However it doesn't automatically mean there's anything wrong with you. There's been a been a push to better understand hearing voices with places like the Hearing Voices Network.

For what its worth, many people hear voices and still live productive lives. There is actually a movement of people who hear voices basically arguing that they are not mentally ill and there is nothing wrong with it especially if the voices dont bother you.
That said it can be part of a serious issue like schizophrenia. It does not seem right that you should have to be afraid to ask for help but my own experience with the mental health system would advise me to advise you to stay away from psychiatrists they are scary people who can lock you up arbitrarily and you never know when or if you will get out.
Sad but true.

Do you know about the Hearing Voices Network ?
There will be quite a few contacts here where you could find people who would understand what you going through and give you support.

I guess one cool thing about experiencing stimulant psychosis is that I know what you are experiencing. I would always hear a radio or TV at low enough volume in the next room that I couldn't understand it no matter how hard I focused. I would get visual hallucinations similar to LSD as well. The design on my ceiling would turn into 10 digit phone numbers that would change immediately after reading them and trickle down the walls like The Matrix. I'd see shadows of people out of the corner of my eyes and they would be running towards me until I looked in their direction and they made their escape. I know it's not real and it's actually pretty funny when you're in it if you can keep calm and understand that you're fucked in the head right now. I don't know what to tell you though, but I know what you're going through with the hallucinations.

i don't use caffeine or cigarettes.
don't drink soda, eat a healthy diet etc
i do take buproprion but i didn't notice any change when i started taking it or had breaks off of it (when i used ayahausca i would cease taking for 3 weeks before and after)
i also take valproic acid for mood

most of my experience with amphetamine psychosis was when i quit taking adderall abruptedly and all the loss of sleep caught up with me. one of the times i was quitting for my gf at the time and then during the withdrawal broke up with her in a fit of paranoia and confusion lasting 5 days (until i started taking adderall again) we never got back together
i'mma check out that website thank you guys <3
