They have a presense that will be male or female but no sound of a voice. And when they are talking to each other it is about something I did or something I am going to do. So if someone doesn't want to go to the therapist I will get a load of thoughts giving me reasons why I don't need to go to therapy. Or is I forgot to pay a bill I will get a chastizing about focusing and getting things done. Sometimes the thoughts will be me a name but never to the point where I feel upset. They do speak to me in a way I would not speak to another person. I have been thinking about that lately because of something my therapist said. When I try to explain this to my therapist I don't think she fully understands what it is I am trying to say. I hope this makes sense. I don't like to go back and read what i wrote because sometimes I will change it or delete it. Do you understand the difference between hearing voices and hearing thoughts?

I had two kinds of voices - those that were the result of having alters and the other audio hallucinations because of my bipolar. Sometimes both affected me in different ways. Sometimes they affected me in very similar ways.
dont try to fit your voices in with this block or that block or what others say they have. there are many ways people with DID hears voices.
example - this person hears them inside their head, that person hears the voices outside their head, this one hears persecution voices, that one hears calming ones, this one hears crying that one hears no crying, this person hears them all the time, this person rarely hears voices, this person only hears the voices under stress or trauma....
theres also many different reasons why a person hears voices example ear infections, and other physical health problems have the symptom of hearing voices, as does things like poor nutrition, sleep deprivation, stress, anxiety, and many mental disorders also have the symptom of hearing voices.
Only a treatment provider can tell you why you are hearing voices and what they are from, whether its a physical or mental problem.
my suggestion contact your treatment provider. they will be able to answer your questions as they pertain to you and your problems.
