Its different to all people. I hear voices and I don’t have schizophrenia, I have psychotic bipolar. They started out as outside voices, like someone in the room was talking, and as I’ve been medicated and attended support groups they have moved into my head and are now like a second voice in my head. Mine mostly tell me I’m going to die but have recently been saying that King Charles is going to kill my dog. I just learnt to ignore them, but some people find talking to them helps instead.

At the support group I go to its varying as well. Some people with schizophrenia hear them outside their head and some people hear them inside their head.
