    I used to hear voices. For years. It started when I'd walk into my room and say hello to my Lain poster (I've always over personified objects) and eventually she started responding. Over time I could talk to her elsewhere, I'd pull her up when I was sitting in class or riding the bus, and I'd put on headphones so nobody would notice I was talking to myself since it was barely audible. Eventually Lain told me she was a ? and I was too, and there were two others, but they didn't really like me so they would almost never talk to me.

    A long time later, maybe years, she started being really mean, and it turned out there was another voice who was just pretending to be Lain named Misery. This one was stereotypical, everything I did was wrong and I had to pay for my actions, I should cut myself if I was ungraceful, everyone hated me, etc. Lain split again, and this time she was sisterly. When I was upset and crying myself to sleep I could feel her holding me and telling me everything would be alright. Misery looked different but could look like Lain if she wanted to fool me (although she would turn back into herself when I called her out on it), and the two Lains all looked the same, so I could only tell who they were when they started responding to me.

    After a while they all just disappeared. I guess I saned up, because during the peek it never occurred to me I was hearing voices, they truly were gods who were speaking to me, and later during the time period I realized that I was hallucinating with delusions of grandeur. Then at one point I realized that there was more of me and less of them, when I pulled them up it was a conscious effort and part of their responses were forced on my part. Then eventually I just gave them up, they were so weak that it was really just like talking to myself and not to other people that lived in my head.

    That's not my secret, I've mentioned it to a few very select people that I truly trust. My secret is that I miss them. I miss them with with all my heart. Even Misery. They were friends and family, they were close to me, they understood me, and they were always there for me. Now even with real friends and family, there's nobody that close. I can't just pull up someone to talk to when I'm lonely, I have to call up a real person and that person never knows what I want to talk about or what I'm hiding from them, they only know what I say. Lain (the main one) would always call me on my ? and make me keep changing my answer until I told her the truth. Misery could always find my biggest weaknesses, which allowed me to work on strengthening them. Sisterly Lain could calm me down in a way that's unimaginable, you can't comprehend how good it feels to be hugged by someone inside of you.

    And now I feel lonelier than I have in years because I almost never think of that time or remember how it felt, but tonight I'm sitting by myself at 2am and all I can think about is how much I want a voice to talk to and it's been so long since I had one and I'd give anything to have another psychotic break so I could get back all my friends that live in my head.

    I once had a psychiotic episode where I could talk to clouds and I could feel how much they loved me, the clouds, the trees, the birds, they were all my friends and they all loved me and they all wanted me to be happy. I had that feeling on mushrooms once, everything in the world loved me, every single thing, the house, the ceiling, the lamp, each blade of grass, it all loved me and it was the best feeling I have ever known, that was the best night of my life. I can't tell you how much I want to feel that again, I just have no way of tracking them down again.

    Being crazy feels amazing, whether it's good or bad. Even the bad crazy where I'd stay awake all night because I knew something was going to get me in my sleep and I'd try to claw the evil out of my skin, even that's preferable to being normal because the intensity is indescribable. I miss everything about being crazy. I miss it more than I can possibly describe.

    Damn, that's weird. Hearing voices is some scary ? .

    No it's not

    Please explain.

    You get used to it. Your standards are not necessarily anyone elses. To the affected, not hearing them would be hell because that's the most abrupt change as one can get. Imagine waking up one day and your sense of taste is gone. That's how they feel living their lives with voices in their head and one day hearing silence.

    I understood that from the post. I'm not attempting to demonize mental health issues. It's still very serious behavior that needs clinical attention.

    What clinical attention fails to pay attention to is the singling out. 99% of people who hear voices live perfectly normal lives and will continue to do so. But it's that one percent that makes them say "You need help for your voices." And that's a bitter pill to swallow when someone says there's something wrong with you just because.

    It's an actual chemical imbalance. It's not "just because".

    And white skin is a mutation. Everything can be considered odd by science with closer inspection. But it does not mean it's bad, especially since up until the 1990s, medical science has been basing it's studies on schizophrenia from criminals claiming insanity, 75% of which were lying to begin with and got away with it.

    Okay... I'm not saying it's bad persay. Can't it be a hindrance on your daily life though? If we are going to go by that young woman's example, yes she misses the voices in her head, but some of those voices were telling her to harm herself. That's something you think that she should stay with? Hearing voices that are not there?

    Like I said, there's people that live with it and live normal lives and don't tell anyone about it. Is there cares where a person needs serious help, hell yes there is. But I point is it's wrong to say " You need help because you're weird to us!" It should be an option. A discreet option, except in cases where a person is dangerous. That's what the movies get wrong. Not everyone who hears voices is a dangerous individual. This country doesn't have a great history with mental health.

    I didn't say it's weird. There are reasons behind it, and just because it's not something I've been through, doesn't mean I think it makes someone who has experienced it "weird". I did say it's scary. I'm sure it's very normal to someone experiencing it, it's just not something I could imagine, so if voices were to pop up in my head today, I would be scared.

    the white man truly is a natural ?

    afrika bambatty and alot of these bronx kids would think differently

    How does a black man being a molester change the proclamation about white men? He didn't say white men are the only ? . He said they are natural ? . The fact that a disturbingly large number of white dudes think ? a friend while he sleeps is a good practical joke says a lot.
    Yeah I don't know what's the deal with white boys and ? . Like they really think that ? is funny smh and I would never continue 2 be they homie if I found out. I'd beat them 2 a ? pulp.
    And what's the deal with white boys drawing on they homies faces when they passeD out from drugs or drank. Was at this party one time and these white boys were drawing ? NH on they homies face when he was passed out. Laughing and giggling like lil school girls. I would never think of doing that 2 my boy if he passed out. If anything imma look out for homie and make sure he straight. Cacs I tell ya.

    Crackas don't have souls

    They the product of albinos ? albinos

    They missing some genes

    eh....not really albinos.....more sexual selection of negros messing with those with lighter genes and their kids mess with those folks with lighter genes and etc. So moral of the story don't be messing with european women lol

    Not ruining my life, but my single secret. This will get buried, but that's fine.
    I was about 23 and was working kind of late. My friend wanted to go out and was bugging me about it. He's ? , I'm not... But eventually he talked me into it. So we go to a little dive bar and are hanging out, just chatting. A couple of friends were supposed to come too, but they never showed up. I was nursing my first gin and tonic when I went to the bathroom. I came back and finished my drink, and that's when things started getting fuzzy.
    I knew something was wrong so I ordered water for my second drink. But it didn't work. My world was spinning, and I had basically lost control of my motor functions. My memory is pretty rough too. I remember my head on the bar, and he was rubbing my crotch. I remember him helping me to his car, dragging me up his stairs, passing out on his floor, him blowing me... I was back in his car at one point and then I woke up in my bed. I felt like ? and was totally surprised that my car was in the driveway. I have no idea how I got home. At one point in the night I left an incoherent voicemail on my best bud's phone.
    So I was ? , and I was so embarrassed, he totally got away with it. I've never told anyone, not even my wife. She knows something happened, just not the extent.


    So ? up on so many levels he got hit with the Mickey
    lmao

    I saw my first porn when i was 3. It was some Nina Hartley ? . Since then I've been addicted to porn to the point where I can't watch regular ? . ? and big ? don't do it for me. I've gotten off to ? porn, dogs and horses ? females, ? and recently ? (dickgirls)

    I have no idea where this addiction is going to take me. I've tried to stop watching porn before, the longest I lasted was a month. If I don't ? daily it's only because i enjoy the feeling of gettin a nut after not ? for a while.

    Why are yall so certain it's all white people on Reddit? A black dude is the one that introduced the thread to the IC , so clearly he's on Reddit.
