Video, trying to understand

Im really trying to understand this. Maybe I dont understand it because Im looking into the wrong diagnoses. When peooke say voices, i just dont understand. When I go into my pychosis, which I really think I only get from drugs, I do believe I was getting messages from god or something but never ever heard voices. Are these people actually hearing voices or is it thoughts. I seem to be having racing thoughts, can people get confused between voices and just random thoughts.

When I was is my pychosis, which is very scary, I always knew right and wrong. I was never in any position that I would ever harm another person. Thats where I think the labeling bothers me. I feel that when it comes to mental illness people just think negatively.

Oh that video broke my heart. You know no one wants to hear this but I grew up in North Dakota and life there is very quiet. I was in Catholic School my whole life and one day in theology class we watched a video about people who were "possessed."

One thing we learned that was really astonishing is that some folks including children who exhibited these traits were in fact helped by psychological treatment. But in other cases the parents (as a last resort) called for an exorcism. Now, strange as it sounds they showed before and after video clips and it was day and night.

The person who went through the exorcism and the family spoke about how it saved this person's life. I was floored as I thought possession was all hokus pokus and fake. I learned that day and consequently more occasions that it is indeed real but is in no way a replacement to real medical work.
