My voices are not always present but sometimes they say stuff like “he’s coming” or “he can hear you” and “be careful , he’s angry” . Sometimes i think of it and i wonder why would they say that… Anyway do you have voices all the time or just in episodes?

I have a permanent internal conversation going on.

Yes, but they’re much less often, and not as powerful while on meds.

Is it a voice commentating about you or talking to you?
Or is it voices talking to each other?
You’ve probably already tried but you could try and remind yourself that the internal conversation is just you talking to yourself and your brain is misinterpreting it as voices separate from yourself.

They come and go for me
Yes, they’re usually more annoying than anything. I’m hoping my meds work and they quiet back down.

I’ve had all three, but currently it’s just a voice talking to me. I really hated it when they were talking to each other.

Mine aren’t internal, but they’re intent on hanging around.

I’ve just accepted that my brain is broken and likes to talk to itself. Also, stress makes them louder and more numerous. Meds help a bit too.

do they say crazy things or not?

Not anymore. In the beginning things were crazy. Now they act like normal people. It’s a long process to get used to them.

The worst things have gotten in the recent past is that they have said to kill myself and I responded that they should kill themselves.
Now I try to not respond anymore. Makes things less hectic.

I used to hear voices like 24/7 for years but they seem to of tapered off. I didnt do anything different it just slowly stopped happening so much.
Now i might hear voices once or twice a month or something. I keep my stressors low these days too.

Actually when they went away it was a bit unnerving as well because it felt so quiet since i was used to the voices. I would always be checking to see if they were still there for about a year till i adjusted to it.

I hope I reach the stage of quietness one day, but not there yet. I think things will look so simple without the voices.

Yes, I have voices too. My meds knocked about 80% of them out, and lowered the volume to whispering for the rest, by and large. After having them for so long, it’s like second nature to tune them out. They used to dominate my waking life. I’ve put them in a box over in the corner of my mind, so I’d say I got the upper hand on them. I feel a lot of empathy for those whose voices are unyielding and don’t respond very well to treatment. It can be a pure hell.
