Dear god I'm really coming across as one of the fringe with three posts in a row. But this tinny little conceptual error will slowly drive insane if I do not correct it.

When I mention the inner self, I'm not referring to any voice in your head, but your subconscious. I felt it was important enough to make that clarification, My best advice for voices is to ignore them, the exercise to find your inner self can be very difficult with a resourceful voice, but not impossible.
