I’ve read that like 75% of sz hear voices. I feel like on this site it may be a greater percentage. I feel like I am in a tiny minority in this community as a non voice hearer.

i had audible thoughts today, intrusive audible and brief but i wouldnt say they were voices
its quite rare these days
Fairly rare these days but ocassionaly they pop up
sometimes its like having a demon on one shoulder and an angel on the other but something inside tells me what is worth listening too and i am lucky it has been accurate for a while with the help of my meds of course.
Off meds I heard voices, but I heard them in my head, not out loud like when someone is talking to you. And I could have conversations with them, again, in my head.
Did they seem audible to you? Or were they more like thoughts? Just curious.
I didn’t hear them with my ears if that is what you mean, they were “other people” or whatever in my head. Similar to thoughts, but not exactly. I could always tell the difference between a voice I heard and something I was thinking.
But when I talk to myself in my head, the voices were kinda like that, and that is how I conversed with them. But they all sounded different in my head, like I could tell the difference between a female and a male voice, and I could differentiate between the different female voices for example.
Thanks. That’s interesting.
I hear them regardless but they are much worse off the meds.
Those of us that have never heard voices are very fortunate. I wonder if age of onset has anything to do with it. I was in my late forties when diagnosed. I think you were older too @Bowens ?
Yes, I was in my early 40’s
maybe not as accurate as i like to think, i am not perfect
It ain’t no joke when I’m off my meds I can’t function or do anything I just lay in bed all day being paranoid over things like black holes and wars and things I would rather not mention
I hear voices all the damn time
When I wasn’t properly medicated like when I was on Abilify I would hear “noises” like the telephone ringing or the doorbell going off.
I would hear distant police sirens but it was rare.
But I never heard constant “voices”
Just yesterday I heard what sounded like people having a heated conversation in my front room. Except not.
I used to hear voices when I was not on anti-psychotic medication. But since I have been receiving my injectable meds for the past 10 years, no voices at all.
Same.
The most common thing I hear is my name being said… but not as “voicey” as when I’m off my meds…
Mine usually pops up under high stress or a mood switch. Its usually a command voice.
Interesting…
Mine seems to pop up when I’m alone or scared lol perfect timing eh…
