Wha!? One big collective psychiatrist that all of our consciousnesses are connected to?!

Carl Jung!

I have imaginary conversations in my head. I also repeat a random word or two in a rhythm in my head, usually when walking alone.

always.
all day.
you can find me.
i'm on it.
i'm on it.
i be.
on that.
i be on that.
you can find me on that
i'm on it

if i had just said something weird i usualy sit there mouthing what i just said over and over untill i notice what im doing

also what emmah said

For me it's not stupid things I've said but just random things I've thought that don't make sense. It could be like "total rasta donkey" or something more random.

Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey
I gotta stop thinking that
Total rasta donkey
Total rasta donkey

The way you describe it's indeed typical of obssessive-compulsive disorder (I have it too, it's like your brain is flooded with intrusive ruminative thoughts).

To those who don't have it and as a result may confound it with schizophrenia it has nothing to do with the latter (a psychotic is unaware of his troubles and loses touch with reality, while obssessive-compulsive people are on the contrary completely aware of their troubles and will end up feeling guilty about it).

It generally affects perfectionnist and rather intelligent people.

I'm pretty sure I'm OCD because I have troubling violent and sexual thoughts enter my head that I can't seem to get out. Horrible, horrible things.

I'm nowhere near an anal retentive perfectionist, I'm pretty messy, but when I walk into a room some things really bother me. The table and chairs in my kitchen don't ever seem right. If there are things on the chairs or the chairs have been removed from the room for sweeping but not replaced I get very flustered. I hate the feeling of not having somewhere to sit down even if I don't intend to sit down.

The violent images in my head has made me nearly irrationally scared about some things. Guns, cars, knives, heights, sex, and maybe a few other things. The sheer possibility of something happening from a freak accident scares me. I used to handle knives and other shop objects with extreme care, and would have had a very hard time cleaning up broken glass. I've got over that.

There is hope for me though I think. I've gotten over some of these things on my own. I can handle knives now, and I can also face my fear of heights. But I still get panic attacks about other things. I think I need to go to behavioral therapy. My mother sees an analyst for free, but I don't believe that would do me any good.

Traumatic experiences also haunt me. I was robbed at gunpoint in a hotel once and take great care to think of every possible way it could happen again and how to prevent it when I am at hotels.

BTW to people seeing that I'm posting at 5 AM- I just woke up from a nightmare. I dreamt I was in the movie The Haunting (the original one.) It was different though. There was this telekinetic rat that ate a guy that looked like James Mason, then proceeded to smash me against a wall of the burning house. Or maybe it was a telekinetic women. A rat definitely ate the guy that looked like James Mason.

Sometimes when I'm nearly asleep a strange thing happens in my head. I hear voices of my friends and relatives talking absolute nonsense. Like, I tend to hear the voice of my (passed away) mom or I hear my dad talking...but they're talking just some random stuff. It's like I materialize my own thoughts into their voices to make an absurd dada monologues. It can be fun, but only for like 5 minutues - then I always fall asleep.

Does that happen to any of you too?

yes slavo
i get that exactly
i hear all these voices talking
but i know its not me thinking them, because i can visualise where my voice talks..and i see it sitting back and watching all these other voices come in and start saying shit.

we don't talk to ourself.

It's embarrassing to be caught slacking off like this.
Apologies.

From what I've heard, many people hear voices at that time. I've heard voices while falling asleep before.

There was a guy who wrote a book about the phenomena of "hearing voices" recently. Apparently a lot of sane people hear them. Mostly when drifting to sleep, but some people hear them when they are fully awake.

Relevant lyrics then:

Whisper your name in an empty room
Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin
You brush past my skin
As soft as fur
As soft as fur
Taking hold
Taking hold
I taste your scent
I taste your scent
Distant noises
Distant noises
Other voices
Other voices
Pounding in my broken head
Pounding in my broken head
Commit the sin
Commit the sin
Commit yourself
Commit yourself
And all the other voices said
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
Change your mind
You're always wrong
You're always wrong
Always wrong
Always wrong


Come around at christmas
Come around at christmas
I really have to see you
I really have to see you
Smile at me slyly
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
Another festive compromise
But I live with desertion
But i live with desertion
And eight million people
And eight million people
Distant noises
Distant noises
Of other voices
Of other voices
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Caress the sound
Caress the sound
So many dead
So many dead
And all the other voices sing
And all the other voices sing
Change your mind
Change your mind
You're always wrong
You're always wrong

I always play out scenarios (many times very unlikely/irrational) that I want to happen in my head.
And I repeat words/phrases.
And I play with words/phrases.
Sometimes I pretend I'm talking psychopathically with someone else.
Or I try to send messages to people through my mind.
Telepathically? Yeah. Oops.
I think a lot of crazy shit, and thus, got a Livejournal: http://graffiti-train.livejournal.com/

OH
And I sing in my head too
I make up a lot of songs
Or if I'm home alone I make up a lot of songs about whatever I'm doing
And I sing them very dramatically.

there is no try.

I had a dream the other night Angella where I saw this band and this girl was singing a song. I remembered some of the lyrics when I woke up, but I didn't write it down and I lost them. They were pretty good lyrics too.

Remember that "rainbow connection" song by Kermit the Frog? I believe the lyrics went like this: "have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices? I hear them calling my name."

Anyway, we're only human.
