Question Sep 13, 2013 at 09:24 PM

I'd like to ask this question on behalf of my other half who is a bpd suffer. Is it common for are suffers to hear voices, my partner hears a voice permanently. The voice is always putting him down telling him he cannot get anything right if fact most of the time he describes it as screaming and shouting at him. Is there anyone else who has similar symptoms etc

I used to, now its only in my head and when I'm extremely stressed out. I don't actually "hear" anything, its what I refer to as my inner bully.

Never out loud, no. I always feel like I have two minds that are arguing with each other and sometimes they don't shut up, but I've never heard external voices. Of course, when I get crazy paranoid, I pick up on the most subtle noises and over-analyze them but that's about it.

I hear voices that are saying things to hurt people and hurt myself. They are some times louder then music then the radio to deafen them out

This. But sometimes it's the only "person" I can talk to about myself. It's like my inner therapist. I like him and I hate him at the same time, it's complicated. And maybe it's just me talking to myself, I don't really know.

Sometimes, only when my mind is actually pretty calm and clear (so not often) just ghostly wispering from the far side of the room, they are talking about me, not to me

He says the voice is a specific person lets call him bob. Bob is a real living person that is in our lives but he's also the voice inside my other halfs head. I've tried to ask him if it's his own inner voice ( you see it in films or cartoons as a devil on someones shoulder) but he assures me it's bob's voice and that is says things that bob himself has said to him in the past.

I am unsure how typical such experience is to a BPD person and whether or not your partner's "Bob" is a BPT symptom or that of something else.

I do experience a particular presence myself from time to time and have both visual and auditory hallucinations. They aren't regular though - they are more likely to appear when things collapse and I lose direction.
