voices

hiya, i have trouble sleeping as i hear voices in my head at night, they know i m listening but stop if i try to really focus..they shout my name when i m just drifting off and i wake with a start....this only happens at night or when i m relaxing...i have a constantly racing mind at all times and i m losing my short term memory...i feel like i m in black and white watching everyone in colour? is this mental illness or something else ?

This can be normal to have hallucinations when falling asleep or waking up.  The racing thoughts sounds like it could be mania with bipolar disorder.  Best thing to do would be bring up your concerns with a psychiatrist since we're not qualified to diagnose.
