    Question...The voices in your head? What sort of things do they say?

      The way in which I hear them can vary. Sometimes they are more like thoughts, I hear them the way I'd "hear" words that I am reading. This type of communication is like an extension of my own reflective thoughts, where something else seems to be commenting to, answering to, thoughts that I am putting forward.

      There are other times when I actually hear something like a radio stream. I listen a lot to British radio, and it kinda sounds like that, though it's not just a regurgitation from my my listening to an actual broadcast. It usually happens in the several minutes after I lay my head down to sleep. If I recall I line I just heard that strikes me in a particular way, I will try and wake myself up a bit and write it down, though usually I am in the twilight half way between sleep state, and is like I said.. like hearing an english radio broadcast, only, is like they are talking to me, speaking of things about my life, and offer tid bits of insight to things I have on my mind.

      And still other voices, that act as those who adore me for who I am, and they praise me "Thats a good Wolfie, Good Mougy... we love you Mougy"

      Other who are critics, some genuine and seeming concerned about me. "You know better than this, stop, stop this now, you're wasting time, etc"

      Others who are snide and condescending. Some hateful, cold and callus.

      "You're dead to us now, you need to leave now, you need to go.. go kill yourself now.. you owe us that, you told us you would, etc..."

      I've had hypnagogic pseudohallucinations...Someone installed a very brassy jazz band in my ears? ;p For me it's related to trauma memories returning...and these first appeared when I was six and horrible things were happening...

      ...I seem to sort of be...um...not quite all the way into multiple personality disorder, so I have people in my head who do not think like I do.
      ...I am my own committee...
      ...But one of my inner persons was convinced that if I killed myself she could take over? She seems to be 7 years old.
      I started replying to her barrage of "You are worthless and deserve to die," with statements that were the opposite of what she was saying, and positive...WOW did she find that annoying.
      And I got happier, as I was no longer listening to her regurgitate my mom's verbal abuse passively.

      So...When the voices say something horrible, reply mentally with something opposite and positive...It will probably help.
      Not that you should not seek all manner of treatment, but I've figured out we nutters have to take care of ourselves.

      Wow, this does help shed some more light on what might be going on with me (multiple personality disorder) I know already, that my furry self, Mougin, is not just a furry cartoon character, but rather my alter ego, that did indeed become the core me upon a conscious decision made (on psychedelics) to do so. There may well be other inner me's that are speaking to the other parts, and this could very well be what is happening. Thanks for your input and sharing your own experience.
