I found your post had to follow could just be me though. I hope this answers what I think you are asking. Do I talk to myself and here other voices yes I sure do. I have spoken outside for hours caring on a two way conversation with myself and my fatherinlaw who was never there. I also cathc myself speaking to a man (don't know his name) to where we talk softly back and forth. WE tend to have a lot of dialogue. I notice this when I am not feeling well. deep depression or mania it is like my head goes crazy. I take haldol and that keeps my voices and hallucinations away, sometimes when I am home alone I miss them becuase I am all alone then. I know this sounds crazy........

yepp thats wat i asked...sorry my post was hard to followw...theres just so much i wanna say ...idk if there voices tho or just racing thoughts..idk? the exapmle i gave i wrote it in my diary..its jus random stuff like that

I never converse with my voices. Some times they have random funny things they say, But when they are very noisy they are shouting at me and I can't think straight, like my real thoughts are buried under all the shouting. It's very scary when it happens. Still I know they are just voices in my head and not real. Usually they are commanding me to do things like take my clothes off or crash my car. But my meds do help to control all those voices. I don't hear them much any more.

omgg thats exactly wat im talking about except the voices telling me to do things....they get loud and wen they do i feel like i cant think. epescially at night..i feel lost.

im on an anti psychotic now..and an anti depressant for the bp ..i dont want more meds..thats why i never talk ed about this everr

OMG! Yes I have this! once i heard "peruvian solitude" still have no idea what it means...

i talk aloud to myself alot too, in fact I have about three hallucinations that speak back to me, they're jerks but they're company...so no I dont think it sounds crazy :)

im kinda glad im not alone with this..that other ppl get it and u dont think im craxyy...i know its not real tho..so i dont think its anything crazyy rly..just a nusense

Yeah I see things mostly shadow people. So far the only thing I can talk to that talks to back to me is the grim reaper. And he has slapped me. It hurt and felt very really. I think he's an evil ass hole, but he does tell me to do things I should be doing any way. I asked him if he hates humans so much why does he pay so much attention to me? He told me to shut the fuck up and start following orders! How dare I question him!

I gave him a hard time and told him to piss off. But he started threatening me that he was going to bring demons to my house if I didn't start listening. So ultimately I did what he told me. He left and I haven't seen him for awhile. I know he will be back some day but till that day I'm glad he's gone. I'm sure lots will have something to say about all this, but If you saw the scary shit demons that I see you wouldn't want them in your house either.

I have a voice that says nasty things when I am down. It has been mostly gone for quite a while. I seem to be able to make it stop if it does start, which I could never do before.

I think if there is more than one voice, you should talk to your pdoc about it. It may not be serious. My pdoc said as long as the voices aren't OUTSIDE your head, you are ok. But then, he is an idiot. LOL

Yes, it happens a lot if I'm in the right mood/mind set. I've had to learn to slow it down by 'living in the moment' and other techniques.

This is tricky, I have only heard a voice twice in my life. Usually when I'm talking to myself, it's me having a two way conversation with myself in order to play things out that need to get out I guess, wow, now I feel crazy. My mom has caught me doing it a few times when I was a teenager. I guess she thought I was actually talking to someone.

i find my self talking to my self and the voices quite often.
depression seems to make it worse.
I also get them at night when alone.
I try and see if i can get to my grandparents or someone I know has died.
I also see numbers running around in my mind at the same time.
I try and write my journal before bed to calm them but sometimes it just comes through.
I just seem to try and live through it at night most of all.
Day time sometimes too.
hope this helps.

thank u for replying everyone!

doorknow: did something help with the voice?
angela: the voices are on the inside:) im finee lol

Back in at the time geodon helped almost immediately. My pdoc gave it to me to use as needed. Eventually I needed it twice daily. Sadly I can not take geodon any longer, or any other anti psychotics because they give me breathing problems. Now I am currently on anti convulsants. I do still see hallucinations though. But voices will occasionally sneak up on me. Usually to tell me the most unimportant thing as though I needed to be informed. And they like to make rude comments on people around me. I hear other things than voices more often then not. Like music and engines.

Some people find listening to music helpful to keep the voices quiet. You should invest in a mp3 player with headphones and see if that helps. I think the headphones are the important part of that equation. Any way you can give it a try and see if it helps.

Other wise I will check around and see if some one else has something better than that.

Always.... my mind starts running the moment I wake and goes until I fall asleep (probably continues while I am sleeping too).... I am replaying conversations, anticipating conversations, making up conversations, or just rambling at myself about whatever.... it literally never shuts up. I used to think everyone was like that. I didn't know it was even possible for my mind to be quiet until the first time they put me on anti psychotics. I remember reverently telling my tdoc "It's so quiet in there". The only difference between depression and mania is the speed of the conversation.

divine thats how i am..exactlyy actually
