Throwaway account for privacy reasons but I have recently been through some very traumatic events and I’m also currently dealing with grief.

I’ve noticed that in the last week or so that I think I’m starting to hear things that are not there, for example:

When I’m lying in bed at night I think I can hear people whispering about me in the next room over, this only happens when there is some type of noise in the room I’m in (I have to have a fan and a humidifier in my room or I can’t sleep due to heat + mould grows due to being to humid), when I get up to see if anyone in my house is up or if there is an intruder etc. there is never anybody there and the voices seem to move to the next room over or outside, no matter how close I try to get to the noise it just moves further and further away.

I can never make out what the voices are saying but I can just feel that it is about me.

Is this something I should go to the doctor about? I don’t want to worry my family as they have already had a lot to deal with over the years due to my depression/anxiety but I’ve never experienced anything like this before.

I already have a routine appointment with my doctor in two weeks but I’m unsure if I should wait that long.

Any help/advice would be highly appreciated, this is starting to take a toll on my physical health as I’ve not been able to sleep more than 6 hours in a night since it has started.

Also probably worth pointing out that this only ever seems to happen at night and that I am also a year and a half sober cocaine addict, however I used to use lots of other drugs as well.
