hello Maggie
I certainly understand you not wanting people to think you are crazy.
You do have a problem here, though. Sounds alot like schizophrenia in my opinion. Have you been to a professional concerning these voices? Unfortunately alot of people do not understand schizophrenia and it has a social stigma that may prevent individuals from seeking help.

From Wiki
Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood, with approximately 0.4–0.6%of the population affected. Diagnosis is based on the patient's self-reported experiences and observed behavior. No laboratory test for schizophrenia currently exists.
Studies suggest that genetics, early environment, neurobiology, psychological and social processes are important contributory factors; some recreational and prescription drugs appear to cause or worsen symptoms. Current psychiatric research is focused on the role of neurobiology, but no single organic cause has been found.
