So what are your voices like? Take me through a day in your life with voices, what do they say and what do they talk about, do they convict you and such? Interested in what others imaginary voices are like, and a sumary of what types of things they talk about, the more details the better. Thanks -chris

The external voices are command hallucinations from āaliensā. The internal voices are thoughts of others that Iām able to āoverhearā or ātune-inā on. X-Files stuff. Boring.

Mine are internalā¦ There are two or maybe one( I donāt know they donāt have names and those two sound similar/ different sometimes) but they comfort me with life problems and help me discuss decisions I have to make. Than there is another one who plays the devil part heās nice enough but he slips up and I know heās not good cause he goes against my morals. Than thereās a few angels and demons, men and women ones. We talk about religious stuff. They donāt talk unless Iām alone and most of the time if I talk first. But I canāt help talking to them cause they build up if I donāt and my delusions get worse.

so you only hear external voices when youāre by yourself?
Mine are internal too. Theyāre called pseudohallucinations.
Iām not having them, had them the other day for about an hour at full strenght, but vanished right after. Just to make me know theyāre still here.
They talk mostly about mundane things, or complete nonesense.
Sometimes, when Iām really stressed, thereās a female voice calling me sl*t.
I only had auditory hallucinations twice, both times just a voice calling out my name, the first time I was on LSD and heard a woman calling my name, I was in bed alone. The other time I was on the street and it was a guy calling my name, I thought it were some random dudes on a coffee shop and ran away from them scared shitless.
When I was in college this last year, I used to hear inside my head my classmates talking about issues from school. And when there, their voices calling my name.
Now Iām okay, hardly ever any symptoms.

I was unaware youāve done anything like that, is that what caused your psychosis or did you have it prior to drugs?
I had it prior to drugs.
I was a junkie. Iāve been sober from drugs for one year and nine months

Completely subjective to receiver as you can see by the diversity of answers if you check back on post in 2 weeks. Should be noted, content of voices can change over time and so does duration of psychotic episodes. Some people hear it continuously too, even medicated, and it runs as background noise once you can concentrate enough to work again (may need a change of work situation or tasks though).
Thought broadcasting, thought insertion, gang stalking and targeted individual would be good terms to Google. While you will find some confused and angry postings, you can see a pretty good pattern to how some psychotics act to deal with their mental symptoms and how some victims of psychosis are treated. Also need to keep in mind, mental care policy is to provide no coping information for victims so it causes a lot of confusion to call someone ādelusionalā about wondering why some strangers are preach stalking them about something private like being on disability check after a nervous breakdown and called a āthiefāā¦And delusional also means you think you are a cartoon character like the psychologistās son who shot up the movie theater in Colorado a few years backā¦Sadly, this results in tragedy. However, show any anger to any mental care provider and you can be locked up in mental hospital at own expense for as long as doctor can justify, sometimes this happens even for āconstructive criticismā.
Best way to deal with strangers talks around you in way that makes you uncomfortable is to ignore it called āgraceā by some of the okay churches. If you follow orders from voices, these end up crazier but this is some churchās requirement of attendance or silence to this practice. Choosing this kind of church can cause harm. Talk aloud to self to make voices stop, and get more strangers bothering you - some people talk over some really threatening content from voices.
internal voices. God, the devil, demons, angels, deceased relatives, einstein, the collective , your brain, aliens.
those are all the names they go under. but i now know its all just my brain being a screwball 
My voices ask me if I want money knowing Iām too sick to work telling me it must be money I say itās god the spirits then tell me to kill myself that kind of thing.
Mine are like these frickin hateful characters watching me, but one of them is young-me and he is naive but generally keeps me out of trouble. I also hear people saying things in public, commentating on what I am doing or what I have been doing, like a nurse saying āand you quit drinking and smokingā when I weighed in less at the doc office. I was bodybuilder-huge before, technically obese, but muscle as ā ā ā ā , now I am athletic and fit, not juggernaut-weightlifter.
Things like thatā¦and hearing people screaming outside waking me up at 3:45AM and then hearing people in my kitchen.
I dont even mind the voices in my head. Itās the trickier hallucinations that cause trouble. Here is a tip from someone who functions very highly with this stuff: auditory hallucinations do not have acoustics and visuals do not cast shadows. That helps sort things out.

It might be better to change the subject-you know-discuss something pleasant for a change, like how we overcame this or that symptom, or what we like about a certain person, or how wonderful it is to be alive.

For the most part, my voices tend to be internal. However, I also have external hallucinations and Iāve noticed that my more recent ābreakthroughā hallucinations (a term I use for symptoms that get through the medicine) have consisted of them. Iāve been thinking that people are calling my name when they havenāt. They talk about almost everything to me, though they also get to the point that theyāll blather nonsense and unimportant stuff. In the past, they would tell me negative things and they would convince me into believing delusions that I would have.
What do you mean with this exactly? For I sure hallucinated in/from different tones, volumes, directions, and with slight echo at times, back when the accompanying delusion was that it was neighbours talking/yelling.
When things changed to ātelepathyā such features did vanish for me.
My voices are mostly from the outside. Some are inside my head. I have Michelle who is nice and Jerek, my guardian angel. They told me their names.
Hmm. Well, I modify my hypothesis: mouseās auditories do not have acoustics most of the time, and are directly related to how he feels. My hallucinations seem to be directly related to what I am really thinking about myself objectively rather than subjectively- the objective nature filters out the sensory experiences if the acoustics test fails.
my voices are all inside my head. it;s just like having a phone conversation but inside your mind. they mostly talk complete and utter shite but sometimes my interest is peaked by certain topics and i shall deign to entertain a debate or discussion of a particular subject but mostly it;s just repetitive abuseā¦boring boring boring blah blah ā ā ā ā ā ā ā blahā¦
.i guess it;s because i never get the chance to use my brain that every now and again my interest is piquedā¦sometimes iād like to believe u their crap but i honestly donāt as it;s nothing new. according to them ,iāve gone from being many different incarnations of varying expertise in varying subjects and it always as been a load of shiteā¦
voices are what they areā¦they lie constantly, talk absolute crap and after 14 years of hearing them i have come to the conclusion that firstly, they have no basis in reality outside the confines of my mind, secondly, never trust a word they say and thirdly never take them seriously as the are nothing but the product of a dreaming brain whose body is wide awake.
i have a r.e,m. sleep disorder, nothing more. no delusions of grandeur lead by insistent voices, no persecution complex ;lead by insistent voices, no derealization lead by insistent voices, no nightmarish imagery lead by a dreaming brain ā¦none of these things shall ever overtake me again and havenāt done for about 9 years now as i will not let itā¦
i have had enough of being sick thank you very much. i am med compliant and advocate it for anyone hearing voicesā¦i still hear them day in day out but the difference is that i know they are not real. real to me maybe, real to my brain definitely but not real in the sense that they have any existence in the real world (whatever that is)
To me the voices always sound like someone is saying something to me just outside the room iām in or having a conversation just outside. Usually it is 3 voices. One constantly says he wants to kill me or hurt me in someway. The other two can go from trying to talk him down or to saying they want to kill me too. They constantly say thing like Iām stupid, or that Iām a murderer. The closer I get to psychosis the darker they get. When I was psychotic I would overhear the people around me saying they were going to kill and rape my family. Iāve come to realize that isnāt the problem. I can ignore it most of the time. The problem is when delusions make me believe what they are saying. I went through a period of a few months where everyday I believed I was going to be killed in my sleep. Sometimes the auditory hallucinations are things like music being played or gunshots. I had one series of hallucinations when I was being hospitalized where I thought the people around me were being killed in some kind of sick game show. The music goes with the tactile hallucinations where I believed a stalker was playing loud bass outside to keep me up. Took a while to realize that one was false as I could feel the bass going through my body. However the people I live with said they couldnāt hear anything. I kept running outside to try and find out who it was and talk them into stopping it but never found anyone.
