self conversation

[octagon]

I had recently been diagnosed with OCD. About a month and a half into I felt like it was kicked. Until I suddenly got an extreme case of panic attacks (lasted about two weeks). They got so bad that it seemed like I was losing my mind. All I could think were negative self - image thoughts and that I was going crazy. When medicated proplerly they seemed to completely go away and I was fully recovered. About two days after this I started finding myself having conversations with myself (i.e. a voice in my head). I know the voice is me but it so disturbing because it doesnt seem normal). For example If I think to myself you did a really great job on that. the voice will say yeah you did. I seem to be able to control the voice when I focus on not hearing it. This really freaked me out I have been doing non-stop research on schizophrenia to make sure that is no the case and it doesnt seem like I have any of the other symptoms at all. PS This problem only started yesterday.

I believe you should return to the doctor  who is treating you and describe this symptom more fully to him or her. This does not sound like the kind of voices assosiated with schizophrenia and is not uncommon with anxiety/ocd.  Medication increase or change may be necessary, but in any case, a fuller and more complete consultation is definetly in order.

I thought that was normal, talking to yourself, answering back. I thought the problem was when you started talking with voices that weren't your own, that apparently came from outside, but were just in your head. But, well...I'm another sick person
going to therapy and taking as many pills as possible, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not, but you better consult an specialist.
