Now that I am on meds, when I do hear voices it is the same voices just saying the same words or phrases over and over again. I ask because I have paranoid schizophrenia and when I wasn't on meds I would hear people talking about me in my head. Is it possible to have both, intrusive thoughts and hearing voices. ![]() Hope that helps, and as always, its different for different people. For intrusive thoughts, it tends to be more in my own voice. If it's clear statements, then it tends to be auditory hallucination/hearing voices.įor me it's very much NOT my own voice when it's hearing voices. I can also usually tell the difference because I don't very often think in words-more often in images and sensations. When I get under-slept and over-stressed, I have both experiences of intrusive thoughts (as well as body sensations and other memories eyuck), as well as not sharing parts of reality with people around me, including hearing voices inside and outside my head, and also other auditory hallucinations (we've decided to best call them partial flashbacks).įor me intrusive thought are more self-driven and obsessive/compulsive in nature, where as hearing internal voices sounds more like being in a crowded dining room, say like at summer camp or a middle school lunch room, and out of the din of voices, some emerge into my consciousness more-like when you hear someone speak your name across a crowded room (aka the cocktail party effect). Īs always, I'm sure it varies greatly from person to person. I'm wondering how one tells the difference between an intrusive thought and hearing voices (internally, not externally).
