I have heard voices outside my head, but it's very rare. What I do experience, on nearly a daily basis,is that groups of thoughts will seem to emanate from a few internal individuals. In fact, when I first noticed this,as a pre-teen, I had names for these 'people in my head'. One might be very accusatory "why haven't you done such-and-such", another may talk me into putting something off by giving me a convincing argument that it can wait until I have a better day. Sometimes these 'people' will argue about me, and I with them. Is this normal to some degree? I've never told any doctor that this is how I 'think'. These people have sort off separate 'identities'.
My current dx is MDD, with the possibility of BPII (and the more I read about it, the more the BPII fits). I've also been reading up on the schizo-type disorders, and the 'voices' symptoms is worrying me.
I see my pdoc on Thursday. He will probably put me back on the Lamictal that i asked to get off of at the last appt, since I was having such difficulty thinking and remembering things, but my depression has worsened to the point where I'm sleeping for about 12 hours at a time, and would sleep more if there was no one else here with me.
