Always thinking aloud and not being able to control what you say???

[Almaria22]

Ok I talk sooo sooo much, I have this theory that I talk out loud so much to get rid of the voices...kinda like talking over them..I hate silence I cant think in my head...every single thing I am thinking I say out loud and I cant control it. I get into so mcuh trouble but its because the voices are so loud in my head and if I dont say what I'm thin king I can't think...

Is this common with schizophrenia and shizoid disorders>? I just wondered if anyone else has the same thing...its like I cant hear my own thoughts unless Im saying them loud...I have to talk to myself in silence 247 and look a bit of a weirdo because I cant seem to think in my head like everyone else and it is because of the voices I think.

Before my current recovery I did. And yes its common. Its hard to willfully control. Its a matter of adjusting treatment. Speak to your psychiatrist about it.

i have the same problem too, difficult to explain your own thoughts, when the voices are 24/7, i dont speak about it,it's too confusing

I used to talk to myself as well instead of thinking but I don't know why I did.

I can't say I speak my thoughts out loud all the time, but I often get mixed up in what I'm trying to say to a person and what I'm replying to a voice speaking to me. This agitates me and I get confused and the voices feed on that, making it more difficult to distinguish between proper voices and themselves.

I talk aloud to 'myself' frequently, but it's replying to voices and not speaking my thoughts.

  I talk out loud a lot too. It's usually rehearsing what I am going to say to people later when I have to confront them, but it is also to sort out all my jumbled thoughts.

Im the same as sardean.  I hear voices and talk out loud. People always say to me "stop talking out loud or people will think your crazy", whatever, it is the only way I can arrange my actions and thoughts as my mind goes a mile a minute and it goes day and night.  My voice, I know is my subconcious. It is like having an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, with me in between trying to figure out which is right, and am I going manic.

I have found that medication helps me control this, especially at night, when my body is exhausted but my brain is still going. You may want to consider mentioning it to your Dr. and see if something like Clonazapam would help you settle the voices.

Hi
Been a while since we heard from you, how are you doing?

Drop a line when you get a chance, would like to know how you are.

Cheers.

I find myself thinking that i am talking out loud and not being able to decipher weather i am or not... It is really hard to conceive real thoughts when the voices wont stop. Your not alone.

[doctora]
