I hear voices and everytime I tell people this they tell me that I need to be on medication because I have a mental illness. Im not sure why my hearing voices bothers people so much.

only go on medication if the voices pose a problem for YOURSELF, not other people.

Well thats what I tried to say, but the psychs don't seem to give a damn what I think. As one said, "You wouldn't argue with a neurosurgeon or rocket scientist would you?"

What do your voices sound like? Or maybe I should rephrease that to who do your voices sound like?

I for one had to go on medication because the voices were a problem for me. It was/is like having other people's opinions voiced inside of my head that are not my own.

Sure, it just doesn't bother me. I think its intriguing.
