For as long as I remember I have had "voices" in my head. Most of them are some aspect of me (although they are not the same voice; they have different personalities, etc.). There is one (I call him The Tormentor) that is definitely NOT me. It is a male voice. Sometimes they hold arguments that don't even include me. Sometimes they seem to go away. The only one who can attempt to hold her own against The Tormentor is the Bad one. She is very defiant. If anything, The Tormentor eggs her on to do violent things. Sometimes the voices are rather quiet; other times the chatter is maddening.
I get mad when people who do not suffer from C-PTSD say they experience the same thing. I doubt that they do. I know it is normal for people to argue with themselves in their head; however, I am not involved in the arguing. It is the other people in my head. I know I don't have DID and I am not pyschotic. I only have one provider who believes me. Some are outright rude insinuating that I am not experiencing what I know I am experiencing. It is very frustrating. Can anyone else relate to this?

Hi MagicDragon.
This is a tough one...and yes sometimes it's extremely difficult to convey to others exactly what is going on with us. I can only suggest that you try to write down to the best of your ability what is happening by keeping a day to day journal...then maybe your doctor or therapist will be able to pinpoint patterns or behaviours that may be contributing to these auditory disruptions. I hope you can find some answers and relief soon.

Hi MagicDragon,
I was just about to post asking a similar question. I get hallucinations mostly voices but sometimes visual. It can be very scary. I'm having a hard time with it right now. Your not alone ![]() |
