hey. OK, so its like this: I went through a really, really rough phase for a couple years ago (from 20/21-24; I'm 27 now). I had some docs from a mental hospital breaking confidentiality, I looked like crap so people said I had AIDS and/or was a junky; I was the town outcast. I also had mild psychosis along with mind-numbing depression that went into psychotic mania when I tried to go back to school and landed into another mental hospital.
The voices are people talking about me, saying things that people around town and some mental health "professionals" used to say about me--that I have AIDS, that I'm a narcissist, that I'm a "brain damaged loser." That sort of thing.
So, its my thoughts. Its a replay of very rough experiences I had in the past. Sometimes I get lost in them--I'll "hear" conversations about me. I *know* the voices aren't real, but I hear them anyway, and it sucks. My therapist said I just need to realize that people are people first, and doctors, therapists, etc. second, and the people who did this to me are just a$$holes. This is sound advice, and it seems to be helping.
