The nurses and doctors have observed me a lot and told me they think what i refer to as thoughts are actually voices. And there ■■■■■■■ right. God damnit im schizophrenic. Theyre always with me, have been for years so i forgot what the difference was.
Hopefully i dont fall asleep again. I ■■■■■■■ hate this illness.
Welcome back to reality, friend.
I have noticed too. that I end up listening to these so called “thoughts”, they suggest ideas, and I listen. So much so they have become a major guide in my life. It’s to the point that I became co-dependent on the voices for everything like: what is the wrong answer, does this person like me, should I wear this, should I do that, what does the future hold and when will I die. I’m in denial to some extent. I believe they are simply my thoughts…I hear them as voices of something else. Anyways I hate this illness as well @anon99233869, I hope later on in life we find peace.
Thank you, its good to be back. I feel so different now. I cant stop crying. But i do feel like this is a big step for me.
Cheers @anon99233869, sounds like a real turning point for your recovery, I hope things keep getting better
Insight is an interesting thing. Its refreshing but overwhelming, you get all these emotions at once when it hits you. You feel empty, but also like a burden has been lifted.
Its also necessary to function in society. Welcome back man, hold on to that insight and cherish it
Insight rocks! Glad you are feeling better!
Maybe they’re right but I refuse to believe and accept that my thoughts are voices. They sure seem like voices but I hear no sound or noise at all. None at all. They have all the characteristics of hallucinations minus the sound or noise. To me, they’re like intrusive and negative. It seems caffeinated beverages like energy drinks worsen them. It’s something I’m working with and trying to stop. I take my medication which sort of helps. I have been told I have a thought disorder so my thoughts are whacky…I guess.
That happens to me too. I hear voices since I was 7 years old and it’s dificult for me to find the difference between hearing voices or not hearing them. I don’t remember how life without voices is.
