Okay guys, i think i already understand what's going on but i wouldn't mind some advice
So basically, everytime i'm really tired, i hear voices. I stay up late a lot lately (going to bed around 2-3 AM, on the week-ends) and when i start falling half asleep, i almost always hear voices. I've read that auditory hallucinations are normal in a state of tiredness but it's still kinda spooky.
Most of the times I hear screams, like someone being attacked, or i hear someone yelling non-sense. I read a lot at night and it also happens that i hear someone saying what i read (not just my inside voice reading, but another person saying the line)
It seems to be not abnormal but it's really frequent and a little spooky. One night i was home alone and i woke up in the middle of the night and heard loud noises coming from the house, like someone was in the house destroying everything. It was really frightening but i was pretty sure it was in my head, so i got up and checked my house and there was nothing. But once i went back to bed i heard it again, until i fell asleep.
The thing is i was using drugs pretty frequently the last two years (mainly MDMA). I don't use it anymore but i don't know if that could the cause.
A-am i losing it, /adv/ ?

Your drug use has caused a psychological illness and the lack of sleep is exacerbating the symptoms stop destroying you brain it's you most valuable organ

Happened with me with frequent LSD use.
Haven't touched any drug coming up to 7 months now and I still have minor, very minor visuals.
It gets better with time, you just got to treat your body like a temple. Start sleeping properly, exercise, give your brain a treat with a puzzle or crossword ever so often.

Yes, auditory hallucinations can be caused by sleep deprivation, but you'd need to spend a couple of days without sleep for that to happen if you're otherwise healthy. Drug use can indeed cause auditory hallucinations. Some other possible causes are extreme stress, anxiety and high caffeine consumption. My guess is that it's a combination of these things for you.
Obviously, consulting a specialist would be the best thing to do in your situation. If you can't afford it for whatever reason stop staying up late. Try to be more relax during the day, especially before bed (playing videogames and watching action movies isn't relaxing). Do something that doesn't assault your brain before bed, like reading some light literature, going for a walk (if you live in an area that's not too crowded), have a long bath etc.

Well, i am a pretty anxious guy and i do drink a lot of coffee. I think you nailed it.
Thanks for the answers guys, this is helpful. Hope it'll get better, and i'll consider seeing a specialist if it doesn't
