Is it normal? voices in my head

24% Normal
7 Comments

i've always heard different voices in my head when i was young and i was mostly lonely so i always use to talk to them and they would make me feel better.

one of them though is really violent, he always tells me that i should hit this person or stab someone for doing something minor like annoying me or messing something up.

none of the voices can control my body but sometimes if i'm really angry he takes over and makes me snap and act very aggressive and shout/hit things. it's never gone to far because he knows in this society violent acts will force you to be confined and controlled in a jail facility and he doesn't want that.

he has been thinking of doing something sneaky like manipulating someone into suicide or purposely drowning or throwing people off a cliff.

i don't want that though and plus i know we don't agree with each other but he is still my friend and the other voices also and he does help me but i'm scared i'll lose control

    You need to be medicated. You have a legit psychological problem..

    Literally the movie Inside Out.

    But seriously, go to a doctor and tell them about the voices.

    The fact that you are able to have conversations with this entity is troubling. I believe it is normal to have violent urges, but most 'normal' people can easily quell them and not act out on them. Since you have a power struggle with this dark passenger i recommend medical help. I know... sometimes medication sucks, and therapies don't always work the way we want them to, but I believe it would be a huge help to you to at least explore the different options. It will also help you to explore your affliction and find ways to deal with it. I'm rooting for the real you! We all have different versions of ourselves in our mind whether or not we recognize it. It just seems that those personalities are a lot more pronounced and separate in your mind. These personalities are simply (but by no means negligible) emphasized personifications of all the urges and feelings we experience. Id like to hear about your progress and to continue to support you!

    Some people might hear voices sometimes but what you said is a medical problem

    Sounds like you got some resident demons, only one way to get rid of them.

    Sounds like schizophrenia medication may help.
