[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I apologize for the strange post. I frequently hear other voices in my head (they are distinct from my own internal monologue). The voices change; they can be male, female, young, old, friendly, mean. Anyways, I just heard a a voice clear as day say “I don’t have to be nice to you”. Usually the voices just say random words or chatter amongst themselves and they don’t bother me. But this has left my feeling a little scared. Also, to be clear, the voices are internal (from my head), not external. I have anxiety and depression. Is this a sign I’m going crazy? [/quote]

"Hearing voices"is a neurological problem. It's probably related to elevated levels of dopamine in your brain.  You should see a psychiatrist.  They can prescribe medication that will lower the amount of dopamine in your brain.

Also everyone has voices in their head, separate from their internal monologue. Most people don't notice them or aren't aware of them.  Some people have really loud voices and it's hard not to pay attention to them.  Our brains run all sorts of subsystems (like apps) that are giving our conscious mind information all the time and the conscious mind integrates that information into an internal monologue.  If you're not integrating well, you hear voices.

Tons and tons of people hear voices and live pretty normal lives.  [/quote]

It’s weird to say everyone has voices but don’t notice them. I just don’t think that’s true. I never hear voices. I heard a voice ONE TIME as a child 35+ years ago calling my name. That freaked me out at the time and I’ve never forgotten it. Aside from that single incident, it’s never happened again and I absolutely do not have voices that I don’t notice or ignore.[/quote]
