Dayum, this is better than anything on TV in a long time!

I know that was meant to be a compliment Vendaval, but given the quality of what's on TV these days, its not much of one.

Thanks for posting this.  I have had a curiosity about what goes on in the mind of someone that is schizophrenic, but just never have had anyone I could personally ask.

I have never discussed this with anybody else who hears voices, before, in fact before today, only one other person on earth was aware of what it was like in there. And she came to enjoy talking with them through me. She became quite fond of some of them, and had a real love/hate relationship with one of them, they squabbled like cats and dogs. She would say something, I would repeat it to the voice, the voice would answer, and I would repeat it to her. While probably not the wisest thing one could do with hallucinatory voices, it was interesting to say the least.

Honestly. I've got my very own voice who's no one other than me, telling me at times, "I swear I'd love to push him down those stairs when he least expects it." I guess I could say the voices told me to do it, but it would be the first anyone would have heard of my voices. So you're all very lucky to have somone other than yourself to blame for your passions. lololol I have no excuse. I'd just very much like to do harm based on my own personal frustrations. lol

I can kind of understand what you mean though about someone having a conversation with your voices and you repeating it back and forth. Some of the people in here are children who are too young to read and Master and I are in a long distance relationship at the moment so if a little is out either I or one of the elders will read what Master is saying to the child and type teh child's response as much as possible the way the child is speaking. it makes for some interesting conversations.

suicide by hanging must be properly planned, otherwise one gets into the sort of problem a friend of a friend of mine did. He set it all up properly so he thought - rope (check), knots (check), stool (check).

Except the rope was too long. He stepped from the stool and promptly broke his ankle on the floor.

Not at all how he had imagined it.

My question/comment~ Are you maybe also describing multi-personality disorder?

I would have thought so to, but in the case of multi-personality, my understanding is that they do notinteract with eachother, one cannot talk to them. At least that is my understanding, based on very little actual knowledge of course.

I bet it does. I take it that your Master is pretty familiar with your various personalities? I have always been led to believe that in the case of multiples, one of the personalities is the stronger (not neccesarily the one present most of the time) and can force others out of control whenever they want to. Is this so?

Hmmm maybe I should have named this thread "The voices in Our Heads". I am glad I wrote it, now I see how many others on here have various issues and problems, I feel a damn sight more comfortable around here.

Wow!!! And I thought it was confusing having all my voices in my head. It must be really interesting to read that journal, you never know who has written in it, or what they might have written, it must be an important part of your day. I assume that the others have on occaision gotten you into a sticky situation or two over the years, how do you deal with that?

I wonder now, since I can let my voices take control of my body, and I have only the vaguest recollection of what they did while in control (such as: went outside, stayed in ate food, things like that) if indeed I may not have some sort of MPD. Do you know if the other personalities in MPD are affected by anti-psychotics?

quote:

As far as I know they aren't affected by anti-pshychotics, it's not a chemical malfunction of the brain, it's actually a self defense mechanism against abuse or trauma mostly in childhood but you can splinter off as an adult. It's not the wiring that's crossed it's that the psyche has kind of sectioned itself off into bits. Most people can say they have more the one personality, the work personality who gets things done, they're a different person at home, more relaxed ect. Except at the end of the day for them they know who they are, what they like, what their beliefs are ect. it's like a magnified more extreme version of that, instead of putting a different face on while at work it may be a completly different person.
