I’m curious how many of you think your voices are real people or entities of some kind and how many of you think they come from your own brain.

  • My voices are real people or entities
  • My voices come from my own brain
  • I’m not sure

100% of my hallucinations are related to my trauma.

So I assume they’re from my head.

Fully real. Spirits and ghosts, angels and the divine.

I only call them voices to try to remind myself they aren’t real.

Depending on my insight, my success varies.

The context of how your expieriencing them matters a lot, if your not paranoid people are following you or anything you are less likely to believ it’s real I think. I used to think mine were real people sort of half believ that but the latest is that they are some kind of AI which sound and act like human. They seem very real when your having them and they took me completely by surprise when I got them one day, I didn’t think for a second they weren’t real while in it. No one! Doctors! Google! Any one other than other sz with similar voices can explain just how real they can be, they make people do terrible things because they believe they are real. I’m one of the lucky ones

I absolutely know my voices aren’t real. Now my delusions are a different story.

You mean something like hearing your moms voice in your head so it’s the voice of a real person but it’s still coming from your brain and not real? Is that what you mean Aziz?

Yes or friends and family members. I used to have that on Abilify.

Off meds voices were more internal and mean telling me to do crime so I think internal voices are more dangerous than hearing external real ppl voices.

I kinda go back and forth with mine. When I’m not hearing them I’m just like, yeah I have sza, whatever.

But when I’m actually hearing them it’s like, oh crap! He’s back!

I feel that they are real but also recognise them as my own thoughts

Some are from my head, some are real. The ratio depends on how well I’m doing
