Re: I am hearing voices not of my own
Maggie, I think what you may have (I'm not a doctor, btw, more an amateur psychologist), is some form of creative dissonance.
Your "problem" might be related to something we all do - create.
We are creative, not just of things that we can use, or admire (like art) for "being creative", but we create inner worldviews along with.
Voices are way more common than most people will admit; these are because of creativity occuring, in our left-right brains. Dissonance, like what you appear to be reporting, is then a disconnect of some kind, that your worldview on the inside, tries to connect to the outside - it invents external agents.
However these 'agents' are just processes that everyone has occuring in their left-sided right-sided mental regime.
Perhaps you need to "get creative" and make another voice, which is "you", that dismisses or creates counter-arguments when "the voices" have something to say?
P.S. You might find this hard to believe, but I once managed to convince a senior psychiatrist, and a doctor (and my parents), that I was crazy enough to be admitted to an institution. The real reason I wanted in, was because I had a friend who had been locked away in the same place for a somewhat egregious reason - he was perfectly sane, in fact he was able to make unofficial day-trips in and out, just not too far - so the plan was to get myself admitted so he had someone to talk to, and plot and scheme, etc.
(this wasn't the holiday I expected however, I had to convince the staff - who were all nuts - that I was sane after all. This was not something I could do overnight, since after being admitted to "the bin", claiming you weren't crazy after all, would have been a little crazy).
