Insane people usually don't know that they are...so that's a good sign for you if you can still think rationally. Voices in your head could be schizophrenia, but if you can tell them apart from the real world, I don't think you are.
Did you have a trauma recently? Or maybe you are extremely stressed and/or tired?
Other than that I can't help you much. I've never heard of this condition before. This is the wrong place to ask these kind of questions, I think. Seek professional help.

Are you on any medications? Have you been diagnosed with anything? Could your house be haunted with spirits? When did all of this start?
I suggest seeing a psch if all of this is true. Something is causing these hullicinations and you need to find out why they are happening and how to control them so you don't feel "crazy".

You need to go to a psychologist and get diagnozed. Then they can give you some medications.

Medicines used most often to treat schizophrenia include:9
First-generation antipsychotics, such as haloperidol (Haldol) or chlorpromazine (Thorazine), which are used to reduce anxiety and agitation, and to stop delusions and hallucinations. These medicines can be very effective, but they often have significant side effects, such as tardive dyskinesia, which is a condition that causes uncontrolled body movements.
Second-generation antipsychotics, such as risperidone (Risperdal), paliperidone (Invega), olanzapine (Zyprexa), ziprasidone (Geodon), and quetiapine (Seroquel). These medicines effectively treat symptoms of schizophrenia and may help reduce the risk for relapse.
Clozapine, such as Clozaril or Leponex, is usually considered a second-generation antipsychotic. This drug is approved in the United States for treating suicidal behavior associated with schizophrenia and for severe schizophrenia which has not improved with other treatment. But in the U.S., your doctor will need special authorization to prescribe clozapine for schizophrenia symptoms, and special monitoring is needed when clozapine is used.
Other medicines may be added to help reduce other symptoms, such as:
Lithium carbonate, such as Lithobid, Lithane, and Eskalith, to regulate moods.
Antianxiety medicines, such as alprazolam (Xanax) and diazepam (for example, Valium), to reduce anxiety and nervousness.
Anticonvulsant medicines, such as carbamazepine (for example, Tegretol) and valproate (for example, Depakote), to reduce symptoms during relapse.
Antidepressant medicines, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (for example, Zoloft or Celexa) or tricyclic antidepressants (for example, Pamelor), to reduce symptoms of depression.
In addition to medicines, other effective treatment can improve the quality of your life while you are living with schizophrenia, such as:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), especially compliance therapy (teaching and motivating the person to continue with treatment), which has been shown to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia and reduce the distress associated with the illness.11
Family therapy, which helps improve compliance with treatment.
Assertive community treatment (ACT), a community rehabilitation service.
Education about schizophrenia, to improve your quality of life while you are living with this disease.
Vocational therapy or job training, which evaluates and trains you and then places you in a job where you can be successful and improve your sense of self-worth.
Social skills training, to help you develop communication and coping skills. This may include cognitive enhancement therapy, a treatment that may help you improve how well you understand and interact with other people.
Your success will hinge on your ability to stick with your treatment plan. Once your symptoms are well controlled, work with your health professional to develop a treatment plan so you know what to do if you begin to show signs of relapse. If you stop taking your medicines, you are much more likely to relapse. You will need to rely on others to help you help you get through relapses and regain control over your symptoms. Therapy can help you learn how to follow your treatment plan and will improve the likelihood of treatment success.9
Source(s): Hallucinations. These usually involve hearing noises or voices, but they can involve all the senses—seeing, tasting, touching, hearing, or smelling something that is not there. Delusions. These are firmly held but false beliefs. Some common experiences include thinking you are a powerful person, or that you are being persecuted or chased by the police or by demons. Disordered (confused) thinking and speech that does not make any sense. Examples include inappropriate responses to questions, not being able to respond with enough information, or always giving a one-word reply to questions. Bizarre or disorganized behavior. Usually the behavior involves being overly excited, angry, or unresponsive to other people. It may also include bizarre body movements, such as rocking back and forth or grimacing repeatedly. - Anonymous1 decade ago
