Ever since I was young I was pushed by these impulses, Something would trigger me and I will hear complete aggressive sentences ( These sound internal like a louder version of my thinking voice) and it will give me directions what to say,(I know they're directions on what to say because of the tone and words used - even if they do not directly tell me to say something) if I ignore the voices they get more intense and loud until It breaks me and I lash out on the person it wants me to and say all these points it's given me.
The voices will give me ammunition against a person, they never attack me with words but persuade me that I'm being taken advantage of and everyones evil. E.G
-Why would HE do that, do you remember that time where he..
-He doesn't respect you clearly because
(obviously these would be contextually relevant)
I just wondered if everyone else experiences schizophrenia this way? The voices are barely audible like a real sound, but they're way more powerful than a thought, as I can't stop them,
I get really distressed because I can't simply walk away or ignore them like people think you can and because it's not a "real voice" I don't feel like it belongs to schizophrenia and it doesnt belong to an anxiety label it's always been a part of me, even when I was a peaceful child.
My voices almost completely disappear if i'm by myself and get hectic if a lot of people are around me.
I come to realise these aren't thoughts because of the power, aggression and the fact that these sentences appear in my mind without the previous thinking before.
I realised today the reason I feel at ease by myself is because I feel in control of my thoughts and my thoughts are the thing that gives me anxiety when i'm around people.
It feels like paranoid schizophrenia without the "cliche type signs" of being paranoid of the fbi and hearing distorted male scary voices.
Anyone in a similar situation?
