Do any of you feel that your voices have control over your body and your thoughts? I have this problem. They will tend to move my mouth sometimes while they talk to me and have allot of times have control over my thoughts. As far as it goes with them having control over my thoughts they seem to have control how I converse with them and how they converse with me with words as well with my thoughts in how I should perceive their thinking.

My voices donāt control me in any way. They just mumble. I donāt hear them at all right now.
I donāt think they control me in the way you describe, but they do have the power to make me do things sometimes, they scream and threaten me until I do as they sayā¦ but they donāt actually control my movements etc.

They donāt control me and I almost never do what they tell me but they do often say things that are deeply upsetting to me and throw off my mental/emotional state

Yes, my main voice controls me. Occasionally I will not listen, like smoking my ecig (really need to quit).

I feel like my voices are just pushing me along the path of life. They push me to do nothing and experience nothing. Itās like they just want me to waste away and accomplish nothing in my life. Itās literally like a physical push on my brain downward to the point where I have no motivation to do anything. Itās like they are just pushing me towards my eventual death where I will experience nothing worthwhile in the meantime. They donāt control my movements, but my motivation they do.

Before I was medicated my voices(demons) took full control over me and would make me self harm, among other things.
i get that , mine speak through my mouth properly to me all the time along with inside my head or coming from technologyā¦
They talk to me from my mouth also.
They have, yes, theyāve had me do innocent commands such as just simply going outside at night, or horrible things like hurt myself.
Usually I managed to steer away from the latter but I did act on it once, this was before I got changed to a new medicine.
Before I got medicated at all, it was so bad, I would be trying to hold myself down to the bed just to avoid doing anything stupid.
I feel similar Xadeā¦

My body, hands and feet, will move on their own, and I mouth partial words. They are not commands exactly, more like impressions, that I have the choice whether or not I want to listen. When I do listen, I end up having a good day. But usually, theyāre innocent impressions, like wearing a particular shirt. So, it isnāt a big deal to go along with what they want.

Same thing happens to me. They persuade me on what shirt to wear, whether or not to watch movies and what movies to watch, what video games to play or more like what not to play because Iām limited to one or two. Or how to conduct my social life, what to say, whether or not to date (mainly to not date). Itās a battle to really do anything because their goal seems to be for me not to make my own choices and their choices end up with me having no free will.

Interesting, are their āpersuasionsā coherent? How should you live your life in their opinion?
Itās coherent in the sense that they donāt outright tell me. Itās mainly comes to me as an idea that I know is coming from them. According to them I should live my life in poverty and alone. According to me, I should do the opposite so these ideaās kind of clash. I also have a voice who I consider my soul or higher self, or just me in a different time who seems to be more positive in a way. I follow a lot of the thoughts that come from his direction which seems to have helped me positively. I donāt hear him talk often, but I can hear ideaās from where I think he is in my head. Many of the other voices thoughts are mostly negative and degrading so I try to find help where I can.

My voices have been invading my monolog ( inner voice ) with their own sounding voice while they are talking to me itās been for a long while now and itās been making it difficult for me to think on my own. I have also have times where I feel my body being moved around the apartment like something has full control over my body. Also when the voices talk to me they have full control over my body expressions and mouth and voice when they use me to talk English to each other using my voice as they talk about my past.

Medication should help with this. What are you taking?
I was first diagnosed with schizophrenia but have now been diagnosed with Bipolar suffering from psychosis. I was taking high dosses of invega and haldal however had no effect on my symptoms. However my symptoms have been getting worse. Iāll be seeing my doctor this week again to discus my meds.
My audible voices donāt control me. They just mumble at a barely audible level. But the messages I get try to control me. They try to shape my character into a very moral and upright individual. And for the most part, they succeed. (When I listen to them.) When they chastise me and berate me for ābeing badā, I try to ignore them as being from a bad entity and put them out of my mind.
