Can someone explain inner voices and how they differ from thoughts? I don't think I hear voices....I hear things that are said but I think they say something different than what they actually say (just like I miss hear them and I think everyone does this?) but my head is always so chatty with a barrage of tormenting thoughts I feel are inserted into my head from outside sources to torment me. I guess this is delusion? I'm really going round and round right now with all the realization of everything I may have misinterpreted in my life. I don't know what I've perceived correctly and what is illness. I'm so confused right now. I don't know if they world is actually populated with mostly cruel people or if I see danger where it doesn't exsist. I'm so afraid I will never be able to leave my house again without someone I trust being right next to me. I'm taking meds and it's getting easier to deal with waking up but I fear I will never actually recover. Anyone with this illness get on a med that made it all go away?

I can't say I relate exactly to what you describe but my comprehension is not at it's peak and my ability to describe my own experiences is poor. I can't even find the words to describe it , even if I could I'm not sure I could. I'm sorry for what you experienced, I went through something so very traumatic recently and I think it forever changed me but I'm hoping I can find a way to manage somehow. I hope you all do as well.
