ELI5, Schizophrenic Voices. Are they “legitimate” voices in your head, or more like an extra intrusive normal voice similar to you saying to yourself in your head, “I need to buy bread today”.

This may get lost but I’ll tell it anyway. My voice is singular, her name is Alice and she spends her day continually telling me how shit I am at everything, that people don’t believe what I’m telling them, that people just humour me in day to day things. When I’m more stressed the louder she is. She’ll tell me the worst things about myself and tell me things i didnt even think i had to worry about. The more people around the worse she is. She caused alot of pain for me during my teenage years, especially as I was told its hormonal and I’d grow out of it. Well I’m 33 now and still wondering when it’ll stop!
She’s got a high pitched voice, almost childlike. She’s in my head at the back like shes sitting on my occipital bone or she’s speaking in my right ear.
She started when I was 13, I went into therapy at 15, did a small stint in the priory for suicidal tendencies and then haven’t been seen regularly since I was 19. When I found out I was pregnant they did a welfare check to make sure I was of sound mind and wasn’t a danger to a baby.
I have very low periods, the last 18months has been especially hard and I’ve been on the NHS waiting list for a therapy appointment for 12 months.
