Are your voices smart and intelligent, really lifelike?
Yes, it’s a very real sounding voice…very intelligent and firm. I feel like I have a narrator of my life

Mine too. When I was in prodromal phase, they were calling me crazy and lunatic
My voices told me what they were doing to me was so I would come off as schizophrenic

I’m curious about your voices Chris, are they smart and intelligent? When they told you you had schizophrenia was this part of a larger conversation you had with them
The voices had the characteristics of the people I knew so some were smart and intelligent others were not, they were very psychopathic. Well I was trying to escape my destiny so schizophrenia was part of a larger web of choices I could make to escape. They said I could choose schizophrenia, bipolar or schizoaffective disorder. I chose schizophrenia.

Did I choose schizophrenia or did schizophrenia choose me? In college I was a normie, and all my papers and essays were about schizophrenia
My psychiatrist told me that I chose to study psychology, because deep inside i knew something was wrong and I was seeking answers
Could you please explain voices to me.
I never know what to say when asked about them. Then I end up discussing what they actually are defined as, rather than what they are actually about.
They are not voices in the sense that they are external from another person, I know they are in my brain. They don’t have the depth of another human voice, more the subtly of a thought, only more distinctive somehow.
I usually whisper or talk them out loud without knowing, but without that they surly are not voices.

My voices say I dont have skitofrnia
Yes that’s what my voices said to me as well. They said it wasn’t schizophrenia as well. I always thought that was ironic. I also once asked my voice which antipsychotic was best they said none o f them would help .
