My thoughts can be very loud. My T refers to them as voices but NOT hallucinations. Sometimes thoughts can be awfully loud, demanding and hurtful, but they are not hallucinations. I get many many intrusive thoughts and images, again not hallucinations, just loud thoughts.

I feel for those with hallucinations. While I have seen and heard things at times my docs say it is nothing to worry about and normal for those even without mental illness.
