would a person writing on the internet, when telling about their experiences, put “the voices” “them” in quotation marks?
eg I cannot play music, write, read or do anything without “permission” from “them”
I’m calling shenanigans
“wookiemeister” makes me do things

Depends how aware of their condition they are. I have heard some talk similarly.

Why worry about what someone puts on the internet, I mean look at this place.
As someone else pointed out – the person may have insight into their illness.

It’s like arguing with rednecks from South Georgia, but with Australian accents.

hhmmm. Apparently schizoid personality disorder doesn’t require the involvement of voices.

Hiya Purps,
I often have people tell me that I can’t do something.
They often are told where to go.
You can do this too.
…and of course you can ask stuff, you might not like the responses and that is part of the internet’s “joy”

If South Georgian rednecks had Aussie accents they would better liked globally!

Accents Kii? or dialect?
Yes.

you have a point.
They or them.. don’t always have to be voices.. if they are voices for you.. it is OK..

We see heaps of those around here, well, 2 or 3 :P

That’s why they need so many of them.

How many “Eleanor’s” were need for Gone in 60 seconds? Was it 12?
When I was a teenager, my father came home one day with a brand new bright red Charger rather like that. He must have been having a mid life crisis or something like that. I would sometimes be allowed to borrow it. That was kind of fun.

I’ve heard some great stories from the 60’s and 70’s. I met a guy who bought a 351 gt from Allan Moffat’s team. He blew the head, ripped them off and then ordered the biggest valves available because of the size of the holes he found. When they arrived they fell straight through. Moffat’s crew had fitted truck valves into the thing.

Most are well aware of the voices when they have ‘insight’ -i.e. not during a psychotic episode.

Yes, you’d expect that the antipsychotic drugs do actually work.

My understanding is that the “insight” does not occur for some people. Some people don’t gain any insight to the illness when on anti-psychotic medication.

Hence why I said ‘most’ – the ones that don’t are not as common IME (worked on x2 psych wards)

Well, yes…I worded that in a clumsy way. I was trying to agree with /extend your comment. My experience is limited to 3 family members. Unfortunately.

Ah, I see.
On all accounts, it doesn’t seem pleasant.
Mr buffy thinks when they are in a “normal” phase they probably won’t be writing about their other phase. He thinks at least some of them don’t really have awareness that there is another phase.
I’ve only ever seen my patients when they are medicated and the medication is working. And although some of them might be called weird…..so could a lot of my so-called normal people. I usually only know someone has this sort of condition because I ask what medications people take.
How hard to fake hearing voices that command you to do stuff?

Fairly hard I would have thought. Command hallucinations are usually pretty unpleasant and accompanied by other symptoms.
Of course, just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

if you question your actions and your thoughts then there’s a good chance you are sane, mad people rarely do.

I totally agree with that on every point. The people I know and have known with schizophrenia, with one exception, have it under control with medication. So they could easily talk about it in quotes. That one exception I only met once, when he was in a severe depressive episode coupled with self-denial, and I certainly didn’t want to talk to him about his hearing voices at the time.
I have heard voices of this sort myself, but am not schizophrenic and never have been. I was aware of their urging me to do things as manifestations of Freudian archetypes, so was able to turn the tables on them.
I’ve met one fellah who might hear voices occasionally in the past
he reckoned he had been banged up in long bay after committing a crime under the influence of acid
he got clean and didn’t have other episodes – he reckoned the acid was making him hear the voices
oh yes he told me that he felt he could communicate with people telepathically whilst in that drug dependency period
