this problem never caused any problem for me so far, its just confusing me till now whenever I think about it.
I cant stop speaking/thinking inside my mind that few years ago I can no longer even know if what i'm saying really suffering from, love, hate...etc or just saying it as words like now.
It's like this exactly inside my mind now while writing this or almost any discussion in general;

- I'm sad and depressed and have other issues.
- oh really I don't have any problem what are you saying?
- what are you two talking about? why do you even talk like this?
- shut up you all
- *screams* leave me alone.

Have you tried meditation to quiet your mind? I've never had quite what you're saying with that kind of inner dialog.. with me it's usually more similar to the first two.. I'll start getting down, then try to pull myself out of it.. then repeat.. or sometimes not repeat and just get down until I force myself out of it.

Best of luck. Stay strong!

p.s. If you have Netflix, a good movie to watch is 'The Life of Buddha'.. it's very inspirational!

mediation seem so hard for me I can never fully clear my mind and that's the big problem. that's why I try to focus on other things instead of this problem but its really confusing me

I thought I do have schizophrenia like this, I've never been diagnosed, just read. I think day dreaming too much since childhood made my mind like almost all time imagining things and talking to itself that I no longer know whats real thought/thinking.

count your breaths in your head.. 1-10, then repeat.. each time you notice your distracted start over, eventually you'll train yourself to better control your thoughts. I've actually gotta get back to meditating, I pray, but have had a lot on my mind so sitting there very long has been tough lately.

Also, I see you've never been diagnosed with anything.. don't be afraid to go to a doctor, I'm sure they could help you the best.

Best of luck.

Then maybe you should talk to a doctor and let them try to help? My problem was/is paranoia and I'm trying to work through it, but it's very hard because it seems constantly present and even little things get my mind racing.. but the medicine has helped some.

I have this issue frequently within my own mind. I accept it for what it is; though I cannot claim to understand it in the slightest. Sometimes I find humor in it, but usually it is a harmless thing. There have been a few times when I have had to angrily fight back or denounce the other "me" for going too far, or making me have thoughts of things that are *not* me or part of me.

It is more often simple statements, and responses between the two "me's"
Sometimes I get angry at the other thought-maker, because it says (thinks) about wishing people were dead. I tell it that isn't true, so stop saying it. Once in a while, it doesn't stop the first time.

I do find, however, that when I put strong emotions (anger) in my response, it usually stops. I think at it, "I don't feel that way, I don't believe those things, and I don't want it in my f**ing head! Shut the f** up!" and it has always ceased the dark words, thus far anyway. I hope it doesn't ignore me in the future.

I don't know how to describe it perfectly, but I felt compelled to respond because it sounds similar to my frequent issues. Don't feel alone, because I know I can relate directly.

It should be okay if you simply accept it, and let it be as it is. I used to think of things as "gifts," and that helps to make sense of things. Now as I am older, I am quicker to accept and try to understand my "quirks" or at least get through them until I can find some way to 'fix' it. Unless the voices are actually convincing you of things you wouldn't normally do, then I say why not try to at least enjoy some of it?

PS, do you have many friends? I do not know if it is a way for your mind to keep stimulating itself and not die off, but it seems like it could be a mechanism in your mind to protect it like it does with traumatic experiences, etc.

I have no friends, and I see that there could be a possible connection between the activity in my brain and the lack of external communication and social experiences. I don't know, but that would be interesting if true!

medicine may be able to help you, if you haven't tried it yet
definitely go speak with a doctor about these things, they are causing you harm

exactly like this.
its harmless for me and i dont care about it that much when it starts i was just wondering because its confusing when i think about it like whats happening.
for me i just leave them to talk all they want as long as its not hurtful to me or anyone.

i actually recently after starting writing my book series, pushed some of these thoughts to my characters so its like they who speak not me.

just one really close net friend, and rest just life friends. it might started because i used to be usually alone without many friends to communicate with them and loved day dreaming almost all the time.

That's what started my paranoia.. too much down time from unemployment, not many friends and too much time to my own thoughts. It's good that you're trying to cope though, but don't be afraid to talk to a doctor.

Are you seeing a psychiatrist? On meds?

Remember that (with regard to meditation) the idea is not to quiet your mind, but to just notice what is going on in your mind. Not judge it, not attach to it, but keep returning your attention to your breathing as your 'monkey-mind' jumps around and does its thing. Meditation is not a battle, but a gentle way to work with your breathing in order to calm yourself.

no, i think it doesn't effect on me that much, just confuse me when i think about it.

If I try to meditate and can't because my mind is so noisy, and I feel terribly overwhelmed, that is a clear signal to me that I need to check my medication. Something isn't working properly. If your mind is so 'loud' that you cannot concentrate, I truly believe a visit to a doctor would be a very good idea.
