Not to change topic but I had a question.
I have never "heard voices" in that I have never heard what I would call an audible voice that was not from the environmnent.
I often have times when it seems I can hear my thoughts. My thoughts become very loud, acusing me of things, reminding me of what I am not, etc etc. Anyhow, I begin to talk to myself like I am talking to these thoughts like I am talking to a separate person.
I tell the thoughts to "shut up" out loud.
Sometimes I say things like "I know that already, why are you telling me this again" out loud and people wonder who I am talking to.
Other things, like "why won't you leave me alone", "shut the f*ck up", "get away from me"
out loud in responce to these thoughts.I have never thought of it as being "voices", because I don't hear them audibly.
My question is whether anybody who has actually "heard" voices, knows what I mean and weather one is realted to the other, Ie can one progess into acutally hearing voices?
It makes me look like a freak but that pretty much all.
My brother claims to have actually heard voices when he was very depressed.
Sorry for the vagueness, but any info would be appreciated.
