Voices eh.....
I often have whole conversations with other people in my head...things I'd
like to say...things I have to say but can't.....this happens before and
after arguments...or just about anytime.....I have trouble sometimes saying
the things I want to say out loud.....so my therapy has always been to talk
it out with myself.....(hmmm...anyone else do that or am I just weird??)
I create an entire scenario of what the other person would say....how they
will react (and maybe sometimes how i would like them to react...?) and what
i will say to them....it's very liberating.....so many times in life I bite
my tongue...and remain silent....it's soooo frustrating...
I used to do this as a child too....I read alot..and had an overactive
imagination...so often i would put things in the third person context..like
he said....she said.... and so on.....(disturbed child lol..)
(WOW I've never told anyone this before... :-)
Stephan..you spoke of your wife having trouble sleeping because of internal
conversations at night......I know exactly what she means...there are nights
when I've tossed and turned for hours....and hours...because my mind just
wouldn't shut up......fear...worry...excitement...planning for the
future...dreaming...all kinds of ideas flowing....and no matter how hard i
tried I couldn't get my thoughts to settle......It still happens
occasionaly....but usualy i can control the voices...by concentrating on
something more present....like how soft my pillow is...and just float into
it...and sleep.....
I know I've offered no advice...but it was great being able to talk about
things....
hearing/talking about common experiences is comforting....!
take care,
Jaime
