Hi thanks for all the replys,its kinda better knowing that other people can relate to it.
Hi Spriggy the voice i hear is not like you would hear from a tv or radion but is in my head,but its not the same as when you talk to youurself when you think about somthing it more diffrent like there is someone else there having a conversation with.
This happened to me about 2 years after my uncle died and for some reason i have always felt that it is my uncle talking to me but at the same time i know its not him i know thats sounds strange but its hard to explain
thanks again

I do not hear voices but my brother does.I am very close to him and before he started seeing a therapist he would and sometimes even on his medication still does.They are just as plain as someone listening to the tv. I know it sounds weird but its true sometimes they are female sometimes male, sometimes there like thoughts and sometimes they are aloud.He tries to ignore them and not listen because sometimes they say like go to end of street and take left or go out and walk around yard 30 times. He has been better for 2 yrs next month. He was diagnosed as bipolar. And with the med.its 90% better.
I guess I am trying to fully understand what you mean by having a voice talk to you.
Do you hear an audible, tangible voice in your head or more just thoughts?
I am a born again Christian so I have a similar experience only it's when God is speaking to me through His Holy Spirit.
It's not an audible voice however.
If you are hearing an actual audible voice-- although I don't think you are crazy!-- I would still suggest telling your doctor and/or psychiatrist. Hearing an actual voice that is not there isn't typical so maybe you have a hormone imbalance or chemical imbalance of some kind.
** please know I don't think you are crazy. I just really believe God made us so intricately that if the least thing gets off in our bodies/brains, we can have reactions.**
Yah, I understand Mark
I talk to myself all the time and it is kind of obsessive compulsive. I work myself up into thinking that i forgot to turn off the oven or that i left a candle lit. Or i have weird rituals that i convince myslef to do... like put things in a specific spot or cook chicken a little longer then necesarry... so that i don't get saminella poisning! lol
But, i understand... i think everyone has that voice in some form, keeps you safe from getting into trouble or making a mistake... its just when that subconcious gets out of control and starts preventing you from just relaxing and enjoying things in life.
I would talk to someone about it... it helps to figure things out and tame that inner voice... which probably is your conscience trying to keep you safe. It does come from anxiety.

Hi Mark,
You know with having anxiety you think you hear a voice but all in all its your conscience its you talking to yourself. Have you been to a therpaist yet? I mean i can say also i have a voice in my mind but its my conscience and my thoughts i have. Personally i talk to myself out loud but most of the time its when i am feeling really anxious or having a panic attack or hack when i have 100 thoughts going on in my mind then i will speak to myself, i get a kick out of my thoughts half the time cause there so irrational. So honestly you need to think if its your conscience talking to you. I would make an appointment with a therapist and speak with him if you are really concerned.
Good Luck..
Just forogot to add,one of the reasons i know iam not talking to myself is because the voice/he says things that i would never say,like using words and phrases that i would never even think of,thats what gets me worried sometimes.
But all in all hes a good guy and generaly talks/gudies me throught life.(i know this sounds crazy)

Does anyone here hear voices in there head?
I have a voice that talks to me everyday and he has done for the past 9 years since i was 13.He dosent tell me to do bad things,but he does make decisons in my life for me sometimes cause if i do it my way something bad will happen like i must take his route from A to B when iam driving cause if i take mines i will crash or knock someone down.
I personaly know this sounds crazy which is why i have never told anyone.The only thing he tells me to do is never tell anyone about him cause they will think iam mad
this has never been a problem for me,the only time it is a problem is at night when i want to sleep and he wants too start talking to me.
I think without him i would feel lost cause i would have no one to talk to about thoose private things but at the same time maybe if he wasnt there i would be able to get on with mylife and start talking to real people about my problems instead.
Can anyone here relate in anyway to what iam talking about here?
Mark
