I have been haring voices for a long time
now and thought that it was just normal.
I write alot when I am having real truble
coping with it. Bellow is what I wrote at
2:30 in the morning. For the most part I
can function. Granted I will not hear
poeple right next to me but I can always
hear them in my head. Does anyone else
have these problems or know of anyon who
does?
_____________________
what is wrong with me? Am I truly
schizophrenic? I can’t even concentrate
on completing a full sentence at the
moment without being distracted from
myself. The voices sometimes are too much
but what is worse is the fact that I am
not in total control. I hold myself up in
my room for days some times and come up
with ways to explain it away. I don’t
even know if what I see or hear is real
sometimes. I wish I can record what is
going on in my head. It seems to be
getting worse lately. I used to be able
to cope and only have major problems once
and a while but lately it all seems to be
coming down. I forget things. Essential
things like paying bills, eating and
sleeping. Then other times I sleep too
much and eat too much. What can I do? I
can’t even stay on track when i’m
trying to explain my head. Yes, I hear
voices other than my own. They are me
because I know there is nobody else there
for the most part but the voices still are
there. This has been going on for years.
I would talk to them before I had a real
conversation to see if that is exactly
what I wanted to say. They are men and
women. People I know and ones I don’t.
You can never know how hard this is to
write. I, at first, thought that this was
normal. Everyone talks to themselves in
their head. Then I realized that they
meant themselves as in singular. Not
plural as in everyone they know. I lived
in denial I guess. Mainly denial in my
psychotic episodes if that is the
scientific term for them. I would day
dream except that the dreams are real. I
get hurt it actually hurts. I get shot I
feel the bullet in me and the sharp
burning. I get squashed by a truck full
of logs I can’t breathe. I see the
world around me and yet I do not. My body
is like its on auto pilot. Going through
the routines and my mind is not. I am
lost, very lost. I have things I must do
yet for some reason I cannot move my body
to do them. I am not in control. Even as
I write this I am being laughed at by
them. Called crazy and called a liar.
They try to reason with me to do things
and not do them. I just thought I could
handle this alone but I cannot. This is
hard, very hard. Why does this have to be
me? Why? They say it is because I want
to be special, different and that this I
the answer. Every great mind has its
flaws. It’s just what gets out is what
makes the mind great. I don’t want
pills. I just want to be alone and yet I
truly don’t want that. I love people
and yet I always want to get away. I’m
sorry I am sick. This hurts so bad to
tell. I guess you know the truth now. A
truth I do not wish to share let alone
accept. Don’t feel sorry for me. That
is the thing I don’t want. I just need
to share my life and find a way to
continue. To be me, no matter how crazy
the doctors wish to call me. I just want
to be me.
I am not always this way. Most of the
time they are helpful or just quiet but
some times they push forward. I looked it
up and they say that my age range is when
you develop it. It scares me to think
that this is happening. I guess that I
need to accept that this is me and not be
afraid of what others will think of me.

I get parinoid sometimes. It's usually
about stupid things like bugs crawling on
me or that I am being followed. I see
things move that should not. Like this
morning I kept seeing a bush moving closer
and closer to me. Or a mailbox that would
twist to the right and then snap back into
position. Some times I see demons and
ghosts. I think I need to go find help.

Hi from what i was reading it sounds like
you have schizophrenia. You are not alone
alot of people are going through the same
things you are. But there is help out
there. My mom heard voices too. We took
her to a local hospital where she spent a
couple of days getting the help she
needed. She took medicine and shes doing
better. She doesnt hear voices anymore.
You should try to get help. Talk to a
psycologist or a doctor that is willing to
help you. Go on the website www.schizophrenia.com
there is alot of information on that site
that could answer any questions that you
have. Good luck

Your symptoms sound consistent with
schizophrenia. However, in your case
you're questioning whether you have it or
not, which as far as my experience has
shown, schizophrenics will never, ever do.
They don't even know anything is wrong.
This may simply be a case of psychosis,
due to some other reason. Whatever help
you seek, and I strongly recommend you do,
make sure you have your doctor test you
for physical problems as well, if weird
things happen to organs in the body it can
have the strangest effects on how you
think. Don't just start taking pills
without first investigating the matter.

I know exactly what your talking about my
friend. Ive been dealing with the exact
same thing but I mastered it. Mine was
drug induced though. Did drugs bring on
these voices. Also do you have visual
hallucinations like seeing little laser
like lights flash on and off and see
streaks shoot across the room.
The way I stopped hearing voices was by
welcoming them and taking it as a
challenge. I started seeing it as a
positive thing and didnt let any of the
negative, messed up things they said to me
bother me. They would threaten to kill me
and id laugh and respond ``come on then, i
wouldnt mind meeting jesus``. It got to a
point where id crack jokes and the voices
would actually laugh at them. The voices
came back tenfold when i smoked some weed
after a long break on friday night and
they scared me shitless at one point one
said ``im lucifer incarnated`` and my
heart started racing being stoned and all
but i smartened up and held my ground and
didnt let myself be even slightly nervous
and they faded away. If you dont react to
them they dont have any significance and
dissappear.
From experience ive learned these voices
are your minds way of getting you to
smarten up and toughen up. Your minds
showing you vulnerabilities and showing
you that your letting this petty caca get
to you and once you stop letting it get to
you youve passed the test and they stop.
