Female voices in man’s head: “I cannot take it anymore” he says

Grenald George of Portsmouth who is allegedly battling with a problem where he continues to hear female voices “in his head,” said he has ran out of ideas and is using the media as his final resort to make persons aware of what is happening to him.

“Since 2007 these voices keep talking to me. It first started when I was in the river at Glanvillia. I was reading a book and I heard a woman’s voice speaking to me.

She said that she would take care of me because I was a nice guy. Then I started hearing children’s voices with her telling me certain things,” he said.

George, who is a farmer by profession, said he ignored the voices on that day but when we went home, they became clearer and even more frequent.

He recognised that the voices have dominated his life and as bizarre as it may sound, they dictate to him wherever he goes.

In fact in an interview with Dominica News Online on Monday, George said the situation became even more serious when mysterious gifts would appear at his home, and strangely his mobile phone would be credited to significant amounts.

According to him, when he told persons what was happening, they thought that he was insane. “I am not crazy. I am not mad. This is really happening. I know you think I am not making sense but I wish someone would believe me. They tell me exactly what I am thinking,” he said.

In a uncanny incident, the 32-year-old man recalled he was cooking when he received a strange call by a woman telling him exactly what was in his pot and what he was wearing.

“I don’t know how to explain that. These women voices are dominating my life. I get top ups on my cell phone and I don’t know who sent them. Then the voices asking me if I get the money on my cell. I cannot take it anymore”, he said.

George who has no children or spouse, said he has sought professional help from the doctors at the hospital. He claimed he was diagnosed by psychiatrist Dr Devanda Sharma with schizophrenia.

George also claimed he spoke to his parliamentary representative Ian Douglas. “If I was mad I would not be asking all these people for assistance. When I went to the hospital they gave me an injection, I went home, slept, but the voices returned. I am praying hard because I want these voices to go. These women just won’t leave me alone.” he said

    I believe people should be more sensitive to the needs of others. What the guy is experiencing is called auditory hallucinations which is more common in psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia, although it may sometimes occur with high doses of cocaine, amphetamines, or other stimulants. High doses of stimulant drugs can make you feel as though there are bugs crawling on or just under the skin. Also being drunk or high, or coming down from such drugs as marijuana, LSD, cocaine or crack, heroin, and alcohol ,Severe illness, including liver failure, kidney failure, and brain cancer
    Some psychiatric disorders, psychotic depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder .

    As a christian my self, I do not believe that all hallucinations are demonic, i believe the church is too quick to demonise conditions instead of looking at research, studies about these conditions.

    I believe this man is in need of professional help as well as prayers. Also psychiatrist are sometimes quick to section and medicate patients and once this is done is ruins the person’s life. Maybe categorised as “mad”.

    I pray God that this man finds the right help AND letd stop being narrow minded, we are here to help each other

    The man need long term professional help. According to the story he sought professional help and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. That is all.

    Doing a visit and being diagnosed alone is not enough.

    Well then start praying for him then instead of wasting precious time to post comments. Maybe that would help.

    @”Jesus can make the impossible, possible”, yes, lets stop being ignorant. This man need professional help, not Jesus.

    Religion teaches about souls and souls being redeemed and those other doctrines, so contrary to your pronouncements that this man situation ‘is nothing about religion” you are making all religion. You are contradicting yourself.

    I can bet a million bucks that you take this man to hundred “prayer meetings,” thousands of pastors and priests and there won’t be no change.

    But get him some expert help and your will see.

    After all, isn’t it God that gave all these experts and professionals the knowledge so that they can be his instruments of healing?

    To Thoughtful and others: The young man situation is nothing about religion, it is about a soul needing deliverance and that deliverance can only come from JESUS. It is plain to see that the young man is desparately crying out for help and instead of all those negative and incensitive comments, let us say a pray for him, let us reach out to him. Let us stop being ignorant , I am sure the situation with that guy is not an isolated one, there are alot of others out there needed help in different ways but are scared of approaching people because of fear and recentment.. Thank God some of us are still in our right mind today, but you never know where or what situation you may find yourself tomorrow so please say something encouraging or say nothing. I pray that this young man find someone that can reach out to him and assist him in getting delivered.

    The crudeness of some of these comments is just so unbelievable. Mr. George you need psychiatric treatment. What you are experiencing is referred to as auditory hallucinations in the field of mental health. This usually happens to individuals who are diagnosed with Schizophrenia. A psychological evaluation by a psychiatrist would be able to appropriately diagnose you and provide the appropriate treatement for you, most likely some form of psychotropic medication. You also might need some intense one on one talk therapy to help you cope. Many of the comments I have read have suggested repenting, though this is excellent, I work with many Christian patients who also experience the same psychosis. So my suggestion is that in addition to prayer, seek psychiatric help from professionals in the field of mental health. Hope you will be able to receive that assistance at home in DA. Blessings and peace to you Mr. George, I ceratinly empathize with you.

    I didn’t know Dominica had so much “religious” people in Dominica.

    “Religion is the opium of the people.”

    What this man need is professional help, not Jesus or Priest or Pastor.

    There is a recent case in the US where a child’s parents were sent to 12 years in prison because they refused MEDICAL help for their sick child. They said they going to pray and depend on Jesus. GUESS WHAT……THE CHILD DIED. That child would have been alive today if she had gotten the help she so desperately wanted. To make matters worse, it was a simple every day procedure.

    While I have no problem in people being religious, there should be a balance between faith and reason. Religiosity should be one of “faith seeking understanding.”

    There are to many people depending on blind faith alone. That is why Marx had to coin the above quotation, “religion is the opium of the people.” Everybody knows the effect of opium. If not Google it.

    its unbelivable to hear what this mac-arthur guy say.. is he the devil.. in a situation like that for him to say something like that, it is unbelievable. this young man situation is very serious. we need to find a way to help this guy and not criticize him. it could be anyone of us this can happen to. treat others as u want to be treated. if u cant say anything helpfull dont say anything at all.

    This sounds like psychic phenomena…. I’m no expert just something that seems oddly common, an example I pasted below. If it were me I’d try to find out why this is happening and if you can hear them then you should probably be able to respond… also try to find out from the cell company how your phone got topped up, when what time, these kind of things.

    Hearing Voices And Am Really Confused

    I’m a 17 year old girl and I’ve been hearing voices for as long as I can remember. Usually when I hear them, it’s either when I’m on the verge of sleep or when I’m alone and always like someone is whispering in my ear. A couple times, it actually felt like someone was breathing on the side of my face. For the most part though I’ve always just brushed it off and forgot about, being as I didn’t know anyone else who had this “problem” as some would say.

    Well when I would hear the voices, they usually would only say my name, or something random that meant nothing to me. But that changed about 2 or so years ago. One night when I was on the verge of sleep, I heard 2 distinct voices. They sounded like a young man and woman. The woman spoke first saying, “we should do it now.” to that the man responded, “wait ’till she falls asleep.” though their voices held nothing scary, it still jolted me awake………………….

    Seek Jesus, go down on your knees sir and surrender it all to Jesus. If you feel you cannot do it on your own, seek the counsel of a Religious leader in your community and they will assist you. It was good of you to put this on the media because ppl out there can advise you.

    Joker from New York.NY,Harlem, Precious stones, Staffy,

    I did edit my comments myself so not to offend anyone, I wrote it like that for fun. Just because I make light of this mans situation it dose not mean I take his situation lightly. As you have read I have suggested hospital care and religious intervention.
    What more can I say?

    With all that we have written is anyone seriously helping this man.

    Precious stones, Staffy,

    I view these pages as a free form of communication, expression and light entertainment. I take please in reading peoples comments and following their thoughts, but what I do not appreciate and will not tolerate is people’s misguided belief that what you type here serves any purpose other than blowing of steam, venting frustration, having a laugh and voicing disbelief. That is why I take great pleasure in telling you to “…. drink the water, you small minded,

    I AM SORRY TO INFORM YOU ALL BUT THIS IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER. THE GUY IS INFACT SCHIZOPHRENIC. AS A GRADUATE STUDENT IN PSYCHOLOGY CONCENTRATING MAINLY IN RESEARCH AND MENTAL HEALTH, I COME IN CONTACT WITH SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS VERY OFTEN.

    MY MAIN SUGGESTION IS FOR THE MAN TO GET MEDICAL ATTENTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLIE BECAUSE THESE “VOICES” THAT HE IS HEARING COULD INFACT LEAD TO MUCH MORE. HE MAY OR MAY NOT BECOME SUICIDAL OR EVEN HOMICIDAL.

    I AM SURE THAT SKERRIT COULD BUCKLE UP SOME MONEY AND SEND HIM ABROAD TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. NO OFFENSE, BUT THE DOCTORS THAT YOU ALL HAVE IN DOMINICA ARE NOT EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO TREAT THIS MAN. IF THEY WERE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MEDICATED. NOT JUST GIVEN A SINGLE DOSE/INJECTION AND SENT HOME.

    This guy needs to bave in male current like the old folk would say.Allez baiyen en mal currant. lol
    Just for kik but the Dr. diagnosed the man already.All he has to do is take his medication prescribed.
    If that don’t work he need to go to G/loupe. If g/loupe do not work.Then a few DA girls must volunteer and give him syrup see how fast he will get well.Sex, rough sex is what Dr. Sharma should prescribe.The guy has no girlfriend and must find a girl or a tree with a hole in it somewhere in granvillia. Maybe he nees a second opinion from the other psychiatrist Dr. from wesley. …..Maybe schizophrenic :type sex deprivation. Almost forgot the most up todate remedy for woman talking in man ears ..Solution go to Macow ,China . he already mentioned receiving top-ups as gifts from females all he need to do is get the sexual favours.he could ask those who have travelled that road before.

    okay enough! everyone is a doctor, a physcian, and also a joker.
    we need to look upon our selves , brother a,s sons, place our selves in the man shoes, he may as well be earing those voices,but tell me why woman voices, he might be schizo, because when you hear voices that are not there f gives you different personalities and it makes you halosinate and also makes one delusional. i may not be a doc or a priest , but i worked i america with a girl wo heard voices,but i may suggest mr george you nd to call on pastor Claudius Estrado who lives in St Thomas,he will make those voices change their minds.
    but i wish you well and may gd be with you my brother

    You need to seek a good homeopath as well as be under the care of a psychiatrist. Maybe someone can get to the bottom of your problem.
    Some time in an observation ward away from your cell phone and other people that may have an influence on your life could clarify matters.
    There also may be another explanation for you seemingly going mad called psychological programming. You may be an experiment of some kind. What have you been exposed to and what is your family history regarding mental illness.

  24. January 11, 2010

    Its very import to know how someone feels inside.

    I recommend Jesus, the only way, the truth and the light.

    He helped me out already.

Mind not just any pastor, i’ll be praying that God will deliver you from these voices. what type of book were you reading before you start hearing these voices. We must be careful with the books we read. Our minds are the battle ground for the enemy. May God’s peace be with you.

    Ok. people are making fun and saying scizo and so on, but people do not realize how real this is for the individual. Since my birth, my mom has suffered with severe schizophrenia. She hears and sees things, and everyone told her she was crazy. You know what I think… people always think someone is crazy when they cannot relate to what the individual is going through. I actually believe she hears what she hears, and see what shee sees. People need to be more empathetic towards people with these condition.

Instead of giving him strenght we ridicule and call names. We need to stop this nonsense. I sympathise with this man and hopes that he gets the help that he needs before it’s too late…

    Are you an atheist or anti christ to talk like that about religious ppl. You know Jesus is the answer and if He can find it in Him to kneel at the feet of Jesus and ask for forgiveness, accept Jesus into His life, he might see a difference. It may well be some evil spirits dealing with this man. We don’t know but he has to find that out and you too Mac Arthur Haughton needs Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour.

    What this man is suffering is quite serious and should be taken sriously and not treated as a laughing matter. I am a Liaison Psychiatric Nurse and my impression is this man has Paranoid Schizophrenia and therefore needs to be assessed properly and commence on antipsychotic medication which he may need to take for a long period if not for the rest of his life.

    In Nigeria there is something called spirit husbands. spirit wives and children too. There are people who invoke demonic presence on persons who have doorways in their lives and are not under the Blood of Jesus or living contrary. I would suggest seeking a deliverance team or pastor to intervene. Not because we don’t hear about these incidents that means, they do not exist in D/ca.There have been many old tales that the older folks know about and is through prayer, breakthrough came. The Blood of Jesus and His Name has Great Power in it’s effect.

    1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

    Mark 5:15 ” And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, “AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND”: and they were afraid.”

    That’s how Jesus meant it for us in our Right Mind

    Fck that, this ngger needs Lithium and some Psychiatric treatment before he kills or hurts a woman. Will some one find him and escort him to the Hospital please. Mental health illness is serious, but once diagnosed can be treated. Some one help this man now!!!!!!!!! It may only be his conscious eating at his a** for some fckrees he has done, but he is on the edge. It may be an idea to take a priest to assist to hear his confession. People that look to religion to solve every problem are lazy and self deluded. Take responsibility for your life and your actions be honest you hypocritical lazy bible thumpers!!!!!!!!! Religion is a device to control man and a excuse for others. Let’s be honest, some of you need controlling and some of you are beyond control with no conscious or regret.

  55. January 11, 2010

    You need to call the name of Jesus. Rebuke these voices in his name.

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.
