my voices and visions were all internal thankfully. how do you know you had schizophrenia if you hear external voices?
If you hear someone talking to you and nobody is there. Ppl whispering your name when you are home alone. Ppl talking with voices that are not your family.
Sometimes it’s really hard to tell what is real. But I dont think people get murdered in my neighborhood every night or I probably would have heard about it in the news. Though, indoors, its easier to tell. Obviously if you hear weird whispers, and you’re alone, you chalk it up to a hallucination.
I’ve only heard one external voice.
While i was looking at what appeared to be a being made of light in a tree, there was a shadowy doorway that she stood in and as i looked i heard “sssssshhhhhhhh” externally on my left side.
i wonder where the brain determines the difference between interpreting internal and external thoughts.
maybe an internal voice is just your brain turning on brain cells for language centers only in the head, but an external voice turns on brain cells that are in the ear too
I’ve got internal and external. What’s fun is when they talk to each other.
i’ve only got internal voices luckily. they tried sneaking out to my ears but it didn’t work thank gawd. i feel them coming from different places in my mind but thankfully it didn’t progress to outwardly hearing them.
Heard an external voice about 14 years ago.
I could pinpoint where in the room it originated from (about 2 metres from me).
It was spoken in my brothers voice.
It said…
“It’s a pleasure to meet you”
Freaked me out at the time.
I have both. They scare me sometimes…
