usually here, it is thoughts and feelings expressed, sometimes just feelings. sometimes the thoughts even have faint tones to them. but it doesn't haplen all the time here. latley there has been loud voices that is diffrent and only bits of stuff. all diffrent tones. almost like if u were on a phone and only heard a piece of what they were saying, but really clear and really loud. i know its not on the outside but it sounds like it almost as if it comes from not outside the ear nor the brain, but the middle ear. those has just started very recently but then i also not been sleeping its gotten so bad to 20mins- 1 hrs sleep is all i get a day now. and i have dark green/purple/grey colors around my eyes, on them, and even over crossing my nose. and lots of stress here. and quite a lot put on by us, then even more cause we try to sleep and we just cant. but up until recently i never considered it hearing voices. just because i wasn't having any thing through my ears. just in my mind and never mean or anything. the one i hear and feel most is cute, funny, and sweet. with being frantic and scared depeneding. shes also right ;-) even when she not. (and right now i hear "take that back!" ^.^;; ) but she and i am the closest. she was scared even at first on me. but neither of us liked being alone and often keep eachother company. more so on good days, less so when things such as sleep deprivation and stress or panic is and issue.
