For @Om_Sadasiva I’m making this thread. I’ve heard external voices a couple times…but internal voices were my most bothersome symptom I think I ever had. Way worse than the delusions. BTW now I know if the thread was made over a year ago you should make a new one. Thanks @rhubot.
I’m not entriely sure I understand the difference between external and internal voices, would you mind explaining them to me?
Internal voices is like a thought inside you controlling you. You like feel your thoughts is how I would describe it. And it makes you do things you don’t wanna do. Like grocery shopping was impossible because the internal voices were telling me to do stuff. I didn’t actually hear anything I just felt stuff.
I still don’t really understand. I’ve wondered if the constant conversations I carry on with people in my head would be considered internal voices, but I generally just think of it as “the conversations in my head.”
Oh. Then internal voices is what I have.
They’ve mostly gone away now that I’m on the right meds, but they’re still there sometimes, screaming at me to do or say things. Most of the time, though, I’m able to distance myself from them, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out what thoughts are mine and what is the voices.
My theory is it’s just jumbled thinking that turns into chaos.
They may be entities from the “realm of consciousness”, where thoughts originate. They seem too unique and unpredictable to be figments of the imagination.
Just a theory though.
thx.i have 3 internal voices which are considered hallucinations by my psychiatrist. my main one is Annette, who is a goddess of intellect.
maybe if they had different voices & tone you would figure out.
right. they are so unique and unpredictable that seem like real entities.
@Hadeda has Alien. I have Annette…
internal ones are inside the head.
external ones are outside the head.
no difference. they do the same stuff.
Ive only had one experience with an internal voice and it was the most insane ■■■■ ever, like a radio was inside my head and something outta this world was trying to communicate with me, he had a creepy voice and everything. External I get more often like hearing people making fun of me on the bus or when im in the mall It sucks
