Hearing Voices

Before I got diagnosed, I used to think that hearing voices was a crazy thing, like in the books and movies, and ofcourse I did not have that! I did not hear someone talking to me as if they were in the room.

Later I talked about this with my therapist. I explained that everytime I was in the garden, I heard my neigbours comment about everything I did. It sounded real, but knew it was not real. I was real enough to hate working in the garden. There is similar situations. Like believing I could read minds, because I heardd people thinking out loud. I asked her if this was like hearing voices.

She did not realy confirm this, but told me that it is experienced in many ways. It is different for everyone. And as long as I am not scared, i can just let it happen.

How is this for you? How do you experience it?
