that's just me, you could be different----a lot of times in the beginning there can be voices that sound like they are inside your head but you know with absolute certainty they are in'q fact not you but most people have the ones that sound just like a person speaking to you as well.
As I said I don't actually hear voices. It's not like I hear a voice of someone talking to me. What I have is diameterically different from schizophrenic people. What I have might be linked to persecution, even though I don't buy what they want me to believe. but actually but I am extremely aware of their mecanism and I recognize these thought as MINE, which means I am conscious I think them, but a part of them causes me to feel they're from someone else. But it's just a feeling, in the end I know it's just me
things can certainly be linked and often are but occasionally they just come up with off the wall stuff so it doesn't have to be either one.
I can understand what you say, maybe I suppose it's what happening to you, but I never had this sort of things. They're restricted to my very present context, it has to be something I come across in my daily life.
Images---are you talking like you actually see things like they are solid or just thoughts---I usually had thoughts of what was going on while "people" were talking to me but no full visual hallucinations like I would have at other times----those were solid and occurred without speech.
No they're imaginary and I am away of this. They not a perception. They're images in my mind. My mind sounds so elaborate that these images look like they're suiting the whole thing of what I am thinking. but under a closer examination they're more symbolic and rely on a extra and hasardous effort to interpret them rather then being so appaling in themselves
I wouldn't assume you do or do not have any particular condition---I would talk to a psychiatrist about it and find out what you do have since it's obviously bothering you.
