...have voices in their head? I've just startedwitha whole choir of voices. So many I can't make out any single one. It's driving me crazy. I can't make them stop. I e-mailed my therapist and he never got back to me. Any input helpful.

Hello my friend, Has this ever happened to you before? Are you taking new medication? Do you believe it's part of having PTSD? I have PTSD too, and I get racing thoughts.

Have you tried going to the ER? Or at least call to speak with a Charge Nurse. Please don't feel alone. I struggle so much with PTSD.

Yup, it happens to me with such fierce intensity that a decade or two ago I started organizing those voices in to "puppet shows." I grew the belief that those "puppets in my head" were animated recordings of the many people I have encountered along the way, including editorialists and public figures and that they typically emerge in theme sets.

The Engineering Puppet Show
The Divorcee Puppet Show
The Traditionalist Puppet Show
The Academic Puppet Show
Etcetera, etceteri.

I count it as progress that the "casts" of my various puppet shows now listen to me every so often when I yell, "QUIET ON THE SET!!!" Even a few minutes of relief from that chaotic racket is better than nothing.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
