I feel like I explained this extremely poorly and now I'm feeling nauseous from the responses I have gotten. It's not an actual voice that I hear. It's not something I sense externally. It's a voice I hear internally, like when you are thinking or reading something. And it does not sound different than my own, necessarily, it just seems like it is coming from a different place.
I don't think this is psychosis. I don't have any symptoms for any psychotic disorder except for 'hearing' a 'voice' which I don't even really do, it's more like a separate part of myself is communicating with me internally. I have more symptoms for OSDD-1b as far as I can tell, as I have a distinct dissociate part that can take executive control of the body without amnesia. I experienced abuse before I was 5, and I have always had [clinically recognized] problems with dissociation. I have done things in the past that have not matched up with my personality/morals, things that seemed to have been done via the will of someone else.
IF ANYTHING, I believe this could be a case of imitative DID rooting from my professionally diagnosed BPD. But I get a strong feeling this is not psychosis, it just doesn't make sense to me that way.
