I really don’t know what people mean when they hear voices . I’ve heard lots of persecution over the phone that I know really wasn’t said. I have distorted what was said until it turns into something negative and destructive that wasn’t said but at the time I believe it was real. I have thought I was communicating with others like I could hear what they are saying in my mind. Sometimes I feel like I’m just thinking loud , in my mind. And I have heard a few words that I felt came from God clear and crisp like they came from everywhere but I knew no one else heard them. Usually making words from people into words that persecuted me or about things that I have guilt about. At the time when these things happen I think I’m not sick and believe they really are happening. My main thing is delusions. All better now thank God. What do you mean by hearing voices?
It’s been awhile since I thought about this but it used to be for me like someone was playing a game. After I hung up the phone I would, my mind would create another sentence and then my mind would get defensive and scared. Seemed like whoever I talked to would be the voice in my head saying something questioning in what I took to be a bad way. Can’t give examples , it’s all blocked out. Mostly brief psychosis these days.
I had this and my pdoc calls it voices. They’re more like thoughts though.
Guess so. But what caused it?
Can you give me an example?
I have no idea about the neuroscience behind it, honestly.
Well, for instance, I only heard one voice that I didn’t recognize, called me names, a bit agressively. The others were from people I know, sometimes friendly, sometimes agressive. When I was around people sometimes I would hear those people call my name. It was hard to discern if people were actually calling my name or not.
Seemef like voices. Scared the heck out of me and made me stop using the phone while I was in it.
It was hard for me to discern wether it was a general statement or something directed at me. Could be someone I was talking to or just overhearing another comment. Ran scared for years
I mean all those years it seemed directed at me no matter where I was, in my car with the radio, tv, people’s average conversation somehow had a grip on me but I done how managed to function because the tables if delusion were alwsydvturning
