miss hearing your voices?

whenever your medication is working, and youre not hearing voices, ever miss them? because i know i do. i find them comforting when i do hear them and i haven't heard them in a while

I don't know why but I was screwed up when I had my last episode but it was weird when I was me again, I missed it all for some reason and don't know why.

I know how you feel. I used to hear voices in my head a lot. There were two of them. Most of the time, I would hear one of them and (more often than not) get into an argument with it. If I hear both of them at the same time, they would argue and I'd have to be aggressive when telling them to shut up. They haven't shown up since my last breakdown, but to tell the truth, I kinda miss them since they keep me company, even if they're annoying most of the time.

I miss the companionship of having a voice, but I try to remember how upset it made me and that I'm much better off without it.

I hear three kinds of voices. One that sounds like 5 radios with the volume low playing all at once. Another type is voices that argue with me. I miss neither of these. The third kind is voices that carry-on conversations with me, ask me how my day is, why do i do certain things. I miss these voices especially at night when I go to bed.

i've never had my voices go away completely, but yeah, if they did i would really miss them. it would seem really weird and quiet and lonely.

When my voices stop talking, I stop talking. I guess we're a package deal I miss them terribly when they go away, though mercifully even the drugs didn't make them leave.

I'm surprised at how many people said they like their voices.

heck no. i hate my voices

i tend to think they younger you were when you first started hearing them, the more you like them. if they set in later, people tend to hate them more. that's been my observation. anyone agree or disagree?

Gr3tta: You are totally right! My boyfriend says he had them when he was younger & feels kind of lonely when they aren't present, though they still get intense when he gets angry/upset. Though it's weird, because he doesn't seem to have any other sign of mental illness other than anxiety & mild depression... As for me? My voices have never been nice. And they're never around enough for me to get used to them. They just decide to show up abruptly & only for a brief period of time. Long enough to scare the **** out of me, but short enough to where I can't grow accustomed to it! Hahaha

im young and still hate my voices.. maybe if they were kinder i would like them

i think in trruth i would sort of miss them if they left.. but i hate admitting that

my voices are cruelll

but its like....when your all alone what does it matter anyway you still got someone talking to you...

Idk, I'd rather be all alone than upset/distressed... But I also don't really care much for people or their unwanted input, so I'm an exception. My insight is moot.

I'm not sure when I started hearing voices! I'm not sure if that's odd or not. I was about 18/19 when I was d'xed, but since I don't remember the period between when I was 15-ish and 19 I can't know when the voices started.

I may have heard things when I was a kid, but at any rate it would have had to change at some point as I don't recall what I currently experience from when I was younger.

I really don't miss being told I'm a borderline piece of s**t, or that my pdoc is out to get my miserable arse thrown into a maximum-security torture facility.
I had innocuous voices at times, and they never had anything to say to me - they just rudely chatted between themselves, rather like some cashiers in the grocery stores.
I'm happy they are gone, and long may they keep their thoughts to themselves!

Actually, I have a hard enough time hearing voices that everyone else hears - I just hear them differently, and get really distressed.

But I'm glad some people are not bothered by voices. For you guys, big thumbs up!

I posted a thread recently about how I wanted to stop my meds so the (nasty) voices would come back. I think it's about identifying the need the voices fill. So if you frequently get lonely, the voices, whether mean or not, are some sort of human-type contact. I realised that my voices were fulfilling my need to be punished as I still feel responsible for my Nan's death, even though intellectually I know it wasn't my fault at all.

The voices are distressing. I have had no reprieve for seven years. I would not miss them.

so i think my voices are fills my loneliness.
they are mean and scary but its like...whatever cause i got someone to talk to.
you know?

what do you mean when you're all alone?

yeah, dude, i totally get going off your meds to hear them. now i only hear them like a couple times a day, but i'm not sure, my psychiatrist tells me that its the sick part of me that wants to go back to being crazy. and hes probably right, but i don't know, i miss how prevalent they were

i mean me personally.
i have no friends out here in real life land.
i dont have a job
i might do school but its going to be online
ive been leaving my house a bit more
but its just to the grocery and bookstore.
thats all.

i come home.
im alone.
i live with my dad who works 16 hours a day and sleeps so i only see him 4-5 hours a days then he works again.

well, when anyone asks me this question i always tell them that i'd rather hear them, then hear nothing at all.

even though most of the time they tell me bad things, i think for me because no one really listens to me- without hearing them, it just feels like everything's been silenced.

get what i mean?
