Is there something wrong with me?

Ever since I was little I've had voices in my head. Not just voices, but they're more like... Sides of me/ people that have come into being inside my head.

I was an only child up, and I lived on a farm, so there was really no one I could play with that was up the street, or that I was next- door neighbours with. So obviously, I was lonely so one day I remember making up this girl in my head- But it was like she was always THERE, I had just finally put a name to the voice when I was 5 or 6 years old and she was my imaginary friend when I was little. Well, as I've grown, she's grown with me, and she's still with me but now she's an ever present voice in my head that I actually talk to, and argue with, and have conversations with, and discuss things with, and make comments to. Not only that, but now there's more than one- Now they're different people, each supporting/ representing a different side. Like one is a spiritual guidance concerning my faith in God and always steps in when I'm doubtful. One is a wilder, more party- going voice. The next one is always making me doubt myself, and another tries to bring me back up. I have one that's destructive, but honest, and last but not least, there's the girl- Katherine. She's still the MAIN voice inside my head that helps me with right or wrong, or making logical decisions, or thinking things through, and even chastising me when I know I'm doing something wrong, I'm jsut too stubborn to acknowledge it. I know this sounds like I'm super psycho and crazy, but I'm not. I mean, they don't sit there and control my life, or try to force me to do things I don't want to do, or make me harm people/ myself. It's nothing like that, they're just... there, and they help me and they're just there to talk to, But they're voices. It's like there's other personalities inside of me, but in a much much much less influential form than my actual self. I wish i could describe it in a better way, but it's hard because it just makes sense to me. I've always had them there, and I probably always will, and I'm totally okay with that. I just wanted to see ya'lls opinions and reactions, and if you guys have ever had any similar experiences, maybe not just with yourself, but with someone you know.

Thank you guys so much! Hopefully I get plenty of helpful answers but regardless-

You guys rock. :) -Torii

    well first i wanna say you rock too Torii <3!

    well i agree with indigo you defiantly not a physic nut job but you just need some help.

    like for me i sometimes when i read a really good bk or see a really good movie i put myself in the bk/movie like make up scenarios about what i would do in that situation which friends i would make and which enemies and just play in out in my head along with the book. but it in no way shape or form takes over or even influences my life. for you you just need to go to a therapist at worst a physiologist. it was probably just a coping mechanism you made up when you were little and then it became so close and familiar to you, you made it grow with you thought out ur life.

    much like when a depressed person literally grows an attachment to their sorrow they at times refuse to take anti-deppression pills because they've been come attached to it. like when you didn't let go of ur "characters" even when you got friends and aren't lonley anymore. Make senes???

    Well thaat's my opinion luv ya Tori and keep on keepin' on !!!

    I suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor so that he can put you in touch with somone that can give you advice about this.

    It sounds like you have multiple personality disorder - it isn't anything to worry about its probably just a coping mechanism that you created as a child to deal with lonlieness.

    However just in case one of your voices becomes dangerous to you its really worth getting help with them in case you ever need it.

    You won't be locked up as crazy - just given the help you need to cope with the voices and its good to know what the name of your condition is and if you want them to go or just control them better they may be able to help with that too.

    Everyone has a voice in their head at some point - but too many can probably give you a headache...;)
