As someone who has DID with "outside voices" (due to brain damage/how my brain was wired) and who was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia for 7 years because of it, please be open that everyone is different and the brain is really complicated and sometimes in freak occurences this does happen - happened to me, and finally someone caught it. It's very uncommon - it has to do with comorbidities - but possible.
Years ago I ( GOYO) were scared and embarrassed of talking about our DID and schizophrenia with strangers or friends. Not anymore. Hearing voices inside our head and outside our head is completely different, even that some of my alters don’t understand why We Goyo have to suffer from our mental illness. I know this video is old but I’m just strong enough to speak out. If anyone has a question about our life experience. We are more than happy to share with anyone. Thank you for educating others. We are many humans going through this daily battle and the more than know the less stigma towards others like us. 🙏🏻
My psychiatrist said to me I had psychosis because i heard voices inside me, some saying that im a bad person, another to never give up and other time crying for no reasion. Now im 100% that I have DID.
those first two examples could be a singlet’s internal monologue. like, mentally berating oneself is a thing neurotypicals can do, and motivating oneself to keep trying is even more common.
That is a legit fear. DID takes 6 to 12 years to get correctly diagnosed and people often collect 6 to 8 different diagnosis in those years, one of them being schizophrenia is really not unthinkable.
None of my mental health professionals seem to agree on what's up with my brain and they really don't like being upfront with me about their thoughts. So watching your videos is super helpful! 🙏❤ I think I only really hear voices in a psychotic sense since they are just copies of people I've heard recently. But I have heard or felt (i can't quite recall it) a child crying and crying inside of me. She "emerges" when I (we??) walk past the candy or the toys, too lol. But yeah, I have no clue anymore. I just want peace in my head. I want the kid to feel safe, I want the others to not panic about existence. I want all of what's in this body to work better together, whether we are plural, psychotic, or something else (or all of this) I will keep looking for answers! ❤
I can't remember a time in my life when I DIDN'T hear voices in my head; I never spoke about it to anyone else because I just thought everyone else did too, and nobody else talked about it because it was so common (like people don't talk about their toilet habits.) At the age of 25 I suffered a mental breakdown which put me in a psychiatric unit for 11 months, and I was diagnosed with PTSD and OSDD. I remember speaking to some schizophrenic patients and, when I heard them say they heard voices talking to them, I got concerned, and asked my therapist if I might be schizophrenic, because I also heard voices talking in my head. As you mentioned at the start of this video, she asked me if the voices came from inside or outside of my head, and when I said inside, told me that was why I didn't have schizophrenia, because schizophrenic peoples' voices come from outside of their head. So yeah, this belief has been around for a long time. I do mostly hear their voices inside my head - but there have been rare occasions where I've heard a voice so suddenly and unexpectedly that it makes me jump as if the voice has come from some invisible person outside of my head. (One I particularly remember was from one of my male alters, who yelled "OI!" at me - he's the only person in my system who would ever use that term to get my attention!)
I can't remember anything significant before the 9th grade. But ever since I CAN remember, I've had other thought processes that interrupt or interact with mine, voices aren't constant for me either. Often but not constant. And my voices aren't really a reflection of my past. So I guess we are just a little unconventional lol I know I'm not schizophrenic, I even asked my doctors to make sure. DID it is.
Well, now I'm less sure about myself ._. I do actually remember realizing there are very distinct voices when I was 14 and I can't actively remember who's voices they depict but those have been there since, with little breaks and a lot of consistency (always the same voices). One of them has literally kept me alive for the past two years but the other always was more like a lingering presence. There was always the fear he'd take over but he only really did when I was angry to the point of quite literally loosing control. And I think I don't have any "real" littles not those I could identify as such, although teddy behaves quite childish yet he's a lot "more adult" in other aspects of our live. But no, the magister came front just yesterday. He did for sure. I wouldn't ever be able to tell someone off so harshly and decisively as he does.
this is very helpful. yes. I remember before 5 yrs I was hearing a voice talking to me. also I would hear paintings ''speaking'' to me and guided me into my adulthood.
ive been coming to terms with my possible did and the closest thing i have is that a lot of people have mistaken their rapidly changing thoughts with "their own adhd" which is exactly what i thought mine was... ive always lived with this and i just assumed they were my own inner thoughts and i thought everyone else had this many too... and it doesnt go away! no wonder why everyone thought conversations with me went haywire... when they asked me this question in therapy i had NO IDEA how to answer it because i "didnt hear" anything """"internally"""" (thinking they were my own!) but i KNOW i didnt hear anything outside... i thought theyd mark me as crazy! :l
Thank you for this...so needed to see this... right now my health team seem to be doing a dance back and forth with each other as to whats going on with me... your video makes me side more with the one saying DID.
They should probably listen to what you think because there is so much outdated and wrong information out there that it is very hard to get a team on the same page without taking the opinion of the client into consideration equally. Hope it works out for you!
I'm so glad the myths are being debunked! I'm so glad as an Ally to learn the correct information, I'll definitely share this info around soon! Hope your system is well and have a wonderful day tommorow! ❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜💜💓
So I thought this was going to be about the difference between hearing audible voices in your head (for schizophrenia that would be an “auditory hallucination” but for DID it would be the voice of an alter) versus hearing thoughts/words/sentences in your head that you recognize are not your own but that are *not audible* - this is the point I am confused about. I used to worry that I don’t actually have OSDD because I get thoughts that aren’t mine and I can go back-and-forth conversing with the other “thought stream” but it is not *audible* - but then another OSDD system told me that’s how it works for them too and reassured me. When you did the poll on AlterNation did you ask about audible/non-audible? Do you personally hear alter voices in your head as audible sounds, or just receive the words similar to your own internal thoughts?
I wonder about this as well, I had a drug induced psychosis one time, and had auditory hallucination. They sounded 100% like they came from other people, outside of my body, in my apartment, and if you'd asjed me i would say that eberyobe could hear them. But my alters voices is very clearly like inner voices, that only exists in the head, and we know others can't hear them (though I know of one alter who have issues with thinking that people can read our thoughts, but that's another story). Now I feel really confused again.
This is the question I have been looking for an answer to for a long time... I don't hear anything, but there are streams of thoughts that sound like my normal thoughts even when I'm speaking. There's no distinction aside from context.
I have a similar thing. I stopped treatment years ago. I thought I no longer needed it but these thought stream flared up recently so I'm seeing a dr tomorrow... and hoping I won't regret it again. I know it's not DID. There's no amnesia or bad enough trauma to cause it. I'm also aware that these thought streams aren't real people so idk if it's psychosis either. :-/
Idk if this is just me or if I have a authority figure alter. Bc every time I drop something outside and I try to ignore it, I would get a stern voice in my head that says to pick it up. And I just can’t get away from tit and I end up just picking it up and throwing it in the trash where it goes. It’s like I got a mother living in my head for those moments.happens in my house too. Idk if it’s my own mother instincts setting examples for the kids. But I def here it within me to ‘pick. It. Up.’
I think I was misdiagnosed with major depression because my hallucinations and delusions are not only focused on depressed things, I think we are being controlled like dolls or like we are in. A matrix or simulation, I see photos moving until I look, I see garden nomes move or black shadow figures, today I saw a fox and the kids outside didn’t say anything about it, the other day I thought a bird was dying in our attic and My dog didn’t react to it, my dreams seem so real that I wake up checking my body and surroundings, my panic attacks have caused me to hallucinate objects turning into humans, a wasp on my leg, I hear ringing and the shower curtain made noise as if a bug was stuck in it but I just had moved it and then went downstairs for 3 minutes, I can’t sleep with my closet door opened, I’ll also hear tapping, the voices are in my head so to listen to music so I can sing along to quiet the voices, and I’ve thought I had a ghost in my house with long hair brown eyes and brown hair, wearing a white dress and things in the attic As a kid I was always outside and these voices were more like kids playing, but as I grew up and stayed In more they went away, so I’m guessing these were just what happened during the day
Hi Sarah Clark, well done with this video. You present and speak well and your content is very informative and helpful. You have a talent for this so I hope you continue to make these videos that enlighten us all. Are alters ever in conflict with eachother or cross with eachother over something an alter has done or said or do they all co-exist in harmony? Also, do you know if someone can have both DiD and schitzophrenia or is it rare or unheard of? Thank you & all the best. 😊
Thank you so much! We will continue, just a little emergency break atm. Hope to be back soon! Yes for sure we get cross with each other. We all have different opinions and visions, wishes and ideas around what our live should look like. It's not easy to manage and balance and make time for everyone. It's a lot of teamwork and putting water with the wine. Yes DID and schizophrenia can be comorbid! I do not know about the prevalence. It certainly not unheard of tho. Hope this helps and all the best to you too! Thank you!
I'm so confused. I am not in therapy & when I was little oli would always see this one guy in my head, like if I was listening to music I would vividly see him singing to the music or I just knew about him but idk where he came from but he did not talk to me ever. That went away & now sometimes I feel like someone is crying on the inside. It's so hard to explain but like someone is crying in me. I don't HEAR anything I just feel it & get concerned like oh no what's wrong, am I missing something also I sometimes get the urge to have blonde hair, so I got a wig. It's not just an urge to be blonde it's a big pull to put the wig on like to make myself feel better. I experience dissociation nd just feel drowsy like i'm shutting down nd just feel weak nd my thoughts end up being more jumbled kind of but like I don't hear anything from anyone, I don't have days where i don't know what i did, it might take me a min. but then I remember & also sometimes I start talking with this little accent but I am aware I said something with an accent like idk what is going on..
@@powertotheplurals Thank you so much. I'm starting to get the the point where I think I should go. I love your videos & your energy from many of your different headmates. Keep up the good work! Much love ♡
It's funny that I run into your comment because I have similar experiences since I was very young. When you described the sadness, I will sometimes feel anger but know it's not me angry. I'd hear a voice and imagined a person to that voice, so I thought he was just my imaginary friend for years when I much later realized he's a different person that's a part of me. I do dissociate and my mind gets foggy and I can't think straight, but like you, I don't have periods of amnesia. I was evaluated and diagnosed already, but I hope for the best for you.
I'm wondering, is it possible for people who has DID still have the memories of bad childhood and can still recall it? Cause I kinda had some bad childhood in my family, I can still recall them memories too and I started to hear voices since I can remember (around 3-4 years old) now I'm 22 going to be 23 this 27 Feb 2020. And them voices always here and telling me what to do and what not to. Some times when I said no I'm not going to do it then few moments later I just did it either good or bad things. the voice I mostly hear everyday is a guy's voice he been here talking to me since I can remember. Then last year he just told me he wants me to called him Will, he's 28 years old. He's kinda good guy always here to calm me tell me what's right to do unlike the other voices. Once I was playing game with some kids then it's like I was black out for a bit can't remember things I said about 2-3 mins then them kids asked me who was talking to them in a guy voice through my microphone and I was like I'm the only one in my room right now there is no guy here. But them kids still admit that they heard a guy's voice through my mic and it's not really sounded like my voice but like adult guy's voice which I am for real have no idea about that. And I'm also not sure if I have a DID or not.
Yes, very well possible. Amnesia in the DSM-5 is described as out of the ordinary forgetting and can be about everyday events (not every day,) important personal information and/OR traumatic events. Hope this helps.
very well done video... but as someone diagnosed and experiencing schizophrenia for well over 20 years, I am sorry to say I have to disagree with most of those points based on my own life, but also I know, that at least with schizophrenia, symptoms do vary wildly from person to person, so these points could be 100 percent correct with some people, heck maybe even most, I don't know the stats - just that most of my own symptoms are very different to what you state is 'myth'... sorry but all my peeps are 24/7 and were only quiet/gone once that I remember in recent years for a matter of days for example, and are always external, have been from my past time to time, could elaborate a lot further as there are a sleuth of symptoms with this disease but I'm probably not making as much sense as I want to, and don't want to sound too horribly against what your saying when you sound so sure... now I don't know if I should even post this but I will... peace\/...
Thank you for your input and sharing your experience living with Schizophrenia. I used the word myth because it is way too often stated as fact within the DID/OSDD community, that someone can't have DID if they hear voices from the outside. I do not believe that to be true, i think either way it is possible, whether you hear outside or inside voices it could either be DID or Schizophrenia imho and im not a doctor, but such absolute statements, i'm not a fan. Hence I was very pleased to learn more about these 7 differences. Thank you.
Thank you for the information! But what is the difference between voices in DID and self-talk? Can voices sound like thoughts? Like, what's the difference between inner polylogue and conversations with alters?
I'm not a doctor but as far as I understood, the difference is multiple different voices, that can sound like a child or someone from a different gender for example. That is possible too in self talk or people who hear voices. Only when those voices control your behaviour (and you have amnesia and clinical distress) is it called DID or OSDD.
Hi @Robyn Timal the DSM5 actually speaks about 'out of the ordinary forgetting' not amnesia. Some people have blackouts, many do not. The out of the ordinary forgetting does not have to be about current day events either, but could be about childhood or traumatic events or personal information.
personally (as a host) its kind of like theres one space in my conscious head, imagine a circle, thats my personal consciousness (its not a visual circle irl but it makes it easier to picture) now imagine a bunch of (lets say blue) imagine a bunch of blue sentences inside of it, occasionally i hear one and its orange. Its like im observing it, but the thought didnt come from me. its not actually mine, its another alter talking to me. "voices" can sometimes appear like that or inklings or ideas of images, sometimes theyre as vague as emotions that we just know dont belong to us its like hearing someone elses thoughts aside your own. Sometimes we actually internally hear them. it depends on the systems preferred form of communication and the situation it can differ from alter to alter hope this helps (:
Can someone explain why no one told me this when I complain about multiple inside voices.i do have worse sleep pattern and hallucination of music when fell asleep and waking up. Recently been very sensitive listening to music much more than movie or poem anything else..
For DID/OSDD/Plurality? Yes, in 2 different ways. The first one is that you hear a voice saying for EXAMPLE, you are a bad person. Then you could feel sad about that. The other option is called passive influence. In this case you do not even have to hear the voice (but you could!) but you feel what the other alter/part is feeling. Sometimes this is subconscious and sometimes a part does this on purpose, if they dont feel hurt for example. I still gotta record a video on this subject. I do not think that schizophrenic voices do passive influence but one could experience what i describe here in my first example. Hope this helps!

We felt like we were being watched all the time. Now we’ve realized this is probably just us watching each other.
I don't know why this has never occurred to me, but this comment just changed like everything for me! 😅
Yeah! I had bad paranoia about my thoughts being monitored but couldn't place it because it didn't feel like something external was the cause lmao.

I love that literally just seeing a picture of a candy aisle caused one of our little parts to speak up.

"Or we CAN hear them if we tap in..." and just like that my entire perspective has changed. Damn it I have mpd.
I have voices in my head but I’m scared I’m just making it up.
Any psychiatrists we ever trusted prescribed anti psychotics for our DID. What a disgrace!!
I can't remember anything significant before the 9th grade. But ever since I CAN remember, I've had other thought processes that interrupt or interact with mine, voices aren't constant for me either. Often but not constant.
And my voices aren't really a reflection of my past.
So I guess we are just a little unconventional lol
I know I'm not schizophrenic, I even asked my doctors to make sure. DID it is.
Could be OSDD, we are a OSDD system. It’s a condition that presents similar to DID but lacking certain parts like amnesia, or distinct parts.

@@dapperglu would u be willing to share which diagnosis u got?
Good video
I'm wondering, is it possible for people who has DID still have the memories of bad childhood and can still recall it?
Cause I kinda had some bad childhood in my family, I can still recall them memories too and I started to hear voices since I can remember (around 3-4 years old) now I'm 22 going to be 23 this 27 Feb 2020. And them voices always here and telling me what to do and what not to.
Some times when I said no I'm not going to do it then few moments later I just did it either good or bad things. the voice I mostly hear everyday is a guy's voice he been here talking to me since I can remember. Then last year he just told me he wants me to called him Will, he's 28 years old.
He's kinda good guy always here to calm me tell me what's right to do unlike the other voices.
Once I was playing game with some kids then it's like I was black out for a bit can't remember things I said about 2-3 mins then them kids asked me who was talking to them in a guy voice through my microphone and I was like I'm the only one in my room right now there is no guy here. But them kids still admit that they heard a guy's voice through my mic and it's not really sounded like my voice but like adult guy's voice which I am for real have no idea about that.
And I'm also not sure if I have a DID or not.
Yes, very well possible. Amnesia in the DSM-5 is described as out of the ordinary forgetting and can be about everyday events (not every day,) important personal information and/OR traumatic events. Hope this helps.
@@powertotheplurals Thank you.
@@powertotheplurals i have voice inside my head
But not feel like other person
But and pitch is changing
Pls reply me
very well done video... but as someone diagnosed and experiencing schizophrenia for well over 20 years, I am sorry to say I have to disagree with most of those points based on my own life, but also I know, that at least with schizophrenia, symptoms do vary wildly from person to person, so these points could be 100 percent correct with some people, heck maybe even most, I don't know the stats - just that most of my own symptoms are very different to what you state is 'myth'... sorry but all my peeps are 24/7 and were only quiet/gone once that I remember in recent years for a matter of days for example, and are always external, have been from my past time to time, could elaborate a lot further as there are a sleuth of symptoms with this disease but I'm probably not making as much sense as I want to, and don't want to sound too horribly against what your saying when you sound so sure... now I don't know if I should even post this but I will... peace\/...
Thank you for your input and sharing your experience living with Schizophrenia. I used the word myth because it is way too often stated as fact within the DID/OSDD community, that someone can't have DID if they hear voices from the outside. I do not believe that to be true, i think either way it is possible, whether you hear outside or inside voices it could either be DID or Schizophrenia imho and im not a doctor, but such absolute statements, i'm not a fan. Hence I was very pleased to learn more about these 7 differences. Thank you.
Thank you for the information!
But what is the difference between voices in DID and self-talk? Can voices sound like thoughts? Like, what's the difference between inner polylogue and conversations with alters?
I'm not a doctor but as far as I understood, the difference is multiple different voices, that can sound like a child or someone from a different gender for example. That is possible too in self talk or people who hear voices. Only when those voices control your behaviour (and you have amnesia and clinical distress) is it called DID or OSDD.
@@powertotheplurals Thank you for answering!
Hi @Robyn Timal the DSM5 actually speaks about 'out of the ordinary forgetting' not amnesia. Some people have blackouts, many do not. The out of the ordinary forgetting does not have to be about current day events either, but could be about childhood or traumatic events or personal information.
personally (as a host) its kind of like theres one space in my conscious head, imagine a circle, thats my personal consciousness (its not a visual circle irl but it makes it easier to picture) now imagine a bunch of (lets say blue) imagine a bunch of blue sentences inside of it, occasionally i hear one and its orange. Its like im observing it, but the thought didnt come from me. its not actually mine, its another alter talking to me. "voices" can sometimes appear like that or inklings or ideas of images, sometimes theyre as vague as emotions that we just know dont belong to us its like hearing someone elses thoughts aside your own. Sometimes we actually internally hear them. it depends on the systems preferred form of communication and the situation it can differ from alter to alter hope this helps (:
Your hair and eyes match your soul
Beautiful
I almost got diagnosed with schizophrenia in gradeschool after trusting a counselor
Can someone explain why no one told me this when I complain about multiple inside voices.i do have worse sleep pattern and hallucination of music when fell asleep and waking up. Recently been very sensitive listening to music much more than movie or poem anything else..
What about deaf people? Do they have an inner voice?
If they heard before they got deaf or have an Cochlea-Implants, yes.
Can voices make you feel how they want like guilty or sad?
For DID/OSDD/Plurality? Yes, in 2 different ways. The first one is that you hear a voice saying for EXAMPLE, you are a bad person. Then you could feel sad about that. The other option is called passive influence. In this case you do not even have to hear the voice (but you could!) but you feel what the other alter/part is feeling. Sometimes this is subconscious and sometimes a part does this on purpose, if they dont feel hurt for example. I still gotta record a video on this subject. I do not think that schizophrenic voices do passive influence but one could experience what i describe here in my first example. Hope this helps!
power to the plurals ok thanks
