Yeah imaginary friends! The first counselor I talked to as an adult I used the term "imaginary friends" and she just took it as that and not as anything more though I still had them. I couldn't articulate very effectively my meaning and didn't trust her anyways. As a kid I had an imaginary friend that was just that. His name was Rocky. I had him till I was 19 actually. I gave him up when I moved because I wanted him to stay and protect the place I was at for all my teen years. Of course he's just imaginary so that place went to pot when we moved still. But I feel like he's guarding my happy memories. I knew Rocky was imaginary but the ones inside was different because I couldn't play with them. They were there but I couldn't share my experiences with them like I did Rocky. He was invisible and had all the super powers I ever wanted. He was also a ninja lol. So I knew my "voices" weren't like that. Which is why I had asked my mom what her voices told her.

Most days the voices aren't communicating with me directly. I can "hear" them but don't always understand what they're saying. Can that be partly co-consciousness? I'm still confused on what it means to be co-conscious. For me I know it can be when I'm inside sometimes there's a window with bars that I can see out of. But can't do anything for my body. . .hard to explain sorry. . .but is that really co-consciousness? Could use a bit of clarification on that if anyone has answers for me.
