Well I'd never really thought about that.... I "hear" my voice all the time. I feel like it's "quieter" when I'm feeling okay, where it's kinda constant when I'm down, all I can think is how pointless I am, and thinks and plans. That's where I have to try and fight back. Try and disprove that... But doesn’t everybody?? That's just the inner voice isn't it?? No you've got me wondering....

Stupid phone. The study found it didn't always develop into a persistent ongoing experience and it cut across all socio economic backgrounds..another really good thing to tap into is the Hearing Voices Network or VoicesVic, there are voices groups all over the world. Peer led, mostly, and offer support, strategies and a safe space to explore one's relationship with voices. Groups go for an hour, followed by a cuppa. Some people have also found grow groups as a way of recovering or accepting voices.. There are huge amounts of info and resources around voices, visual disturbances all sorts of things that people may experience differently.. And there are Ted talks to view like Eleanor Longdren, Rufus May, Ron Coleman.. Who have who have written books as well. There are different ways of.viewing voices culturally as well.. Hope some of this is useful for you 🙂
