why is it important to you to know whether or not I perceive my voices to be the same as what you are going through...

everyone regardless of mental disorder has their own internal mental system and each persons internal system is how ever they need it to be. how ever and what ever is going on with you is the way it is for you. no body here is going to be exactly like you.

here on psych central it is you that must tell us whether you hear voices or not and how you perceive things. we are not allowed to diagnose you.

mental disorders and mental problems are not things you can point a finger at and say this person hears voices this way so I must be that way too, or what ever.

voices can come to people in many different ways. So can thoughts. only your treatment providers can tell you whether what you are going through is voices, thoughts or any other thing you are trying to figure out.

my suggestion if you want to know whether what is happening to you is voices and thoughts with DID or any other dissociative disorder contact your treatment provider. there are tests that they can do to tell you how to distinguish voices and thoughts and what they are part of.

now your question does / did my voices come /came to me as audible voices with different tones or did / do they come to me as thoughts? for me it happens both ways.

for someone else it may not. everyone has their own internal system that is set up for how ever they needed it to be in order to survive.

again it doesnt matter whether how I perceive my voices compared to you. we dont compare each other to each other here on psych central. we recognize everyone is different and has their own way that mental disorders affect them.

I or any other member here may not be the same as you and you may not be the same as me or any other members here...

thats ok. here its ok to be different and not be carbon copies of each other.

its ok that you dont hear think you are hearing voices but through thoughts know what your internal system is doing.

and again for diagnostics surrounding your problems its better to contact a treatment provider not try to fit yourself into being how ever others are.
