When you hear these voices are they basically in your mind? Or, do you experience them as though a real person is talking to you? The reason I ask that is that with PTSD and a history of "abuse" a person can hear voices "in their mind" that are typically things toxic and abusive individuals have said to them. In a way it's more of a flashback than an actual hallucination as what someone with schizophrenia may experience.

TY, Open Eyes. Yes, good points about my dysfunctional past relationships! It's very probable that this effects my thinking right now.
The voices are in my head and are not words from ex's but are literally are like the anti-Christ & are demonic -- it is very very disconcerting & disturbing. I do not have schizophrenia and have not been diagnosed with it. When I was hospitalized four years ago for hearing voices, I was told it was a psychotic breakdown/episode. That was after a severely abusive relationship ended yet the abuse continued for months until I was hospitalized finally. I may be having another similar episode, perhaps related to my PTSD and my ex abuser, I don't know. I don't have a psych doctor right now to speak with about it. Argh.
