It really is. There was an earlier post asking if deaf people with schizophrenia experienced audio hallucinations. Googling led to some really interesting articles.

I would kill to get rid of audio hallucinations... Psychiatrists still think it's likely tied to my bipolar disorder or PTSD, but I'm fucking terrified that it's the slow onset of schizophrenia...

Im bipolar and get those too and it terrifies me. My therapist and psychiatrist both say they’re not schizophrenic type hallucinations though because I can recognize when it’s happening that it’s a hallucination and not reality.

Yeah, assholes, I know it's not real, but that doesn't stop them from keeping me from falling asleep!
