I have heard some real voices in Manchester.
None of my family are from there but for severeal years I did have such a reason for going there once twice a year, during the years when I had to drink minimally - at least most of the time - speaking subjectively, often a nice curry along the curry mile.
For the 2003 rugby world cup I decided to watch that in a hotel rather than staying overnight in a student house, so I could properly concentrate on that favourabe result - nice that England's sole try was scored by someone who is half-Scottish. : )
At dome point in 2002, in my estimation I did not sleep at all for 10 days, which sounds extreme but I had mistakenly been given an anti-depressent by a GP, I was not depressed, which might have partly explained the acute reaction. Fortunately I was subsequently given a quite mild dose of a powerful sedative which would have been aporopriate a couple of weeks before - am not on that now nor have been for nearly twenty years and that is medically agreed as appropriate. I can also drink at my normal capacity - there is a range but drinking 15 pints onwards from the start of last years FA Cup final was no problem that day or the next day and there was no subjective mental risk. I tend to be quire moderate these days for physical health and money.
The particular sedative was also givem to people who did hear non-real internal voices, in more powerful doses, I did not suffer from that. I never had to stay in a hospital following a nervous breakdown nor from tempoarary pyschosis beyond appointment time and the wrong medication - no blame regarding what was from a GP rather than a subsequent specialist.
This post is not a banter negater.
