Harrison: "Mom, I'm hearing voices in my head."
Me: "Um, (don't freak out, don't freak out, don't freak out) okay, lets talk about that. What kind of voices are you hearing?"
Harrison: "Well, there's a clicking sound on the video game, Minecraft, that I play and sometimes even when I'm not playing it I'll hear that clicking sound in my head."
Me: "Okay, and you said you hear voices. What voices are you hearing?"
Harrison: "Sometimes I hear you calling my name, but when I come to see what you want you haven't called my name at all."
Me: "Any other voices besides me calling your name?" (Please say no, please say no, please say no)
Harrison: "No, that's all, just the clicking sound and you calling me."
Me: "You know, sometimes, when I'm at work I hear monitors going off all night long. Then, when I come home and fall asleep I still hear beeping sounds in my head. So, I think, this likely means you're playing too much Minecraft and you need to take more breaks. Like, really, really limit the time you spend playing games."
Harrison: "Well,
I think it means you need to yell my name less. Because if you didn't yell my name as much then I wouldn't hear your voice in my head. The clicking sound is fine, it's really just your voice that bothers me."
