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”.

Under normal circumstances, it’s like a radio playing in the background. But you can’t control the volume or turn it off, which is why it affects concentration and ability to carry out tasks. For me, it even seems to have commercials sometimes, which is really weird and annoying…
During an actual episode, it’s more interactive, like a game show, with the voices guiding toward doing different things, or asking me to make something or look something up. In the more advanced stages of the episodes, they start sort of demanding to transcribe a message, that’s meant for some person who I might or might not know, and then maybe provide a means to deliver it.
It definitely doesn’t feel like it’s like I’m the one coming up with it, bc sometimes I have to look up words I’m being asked to transcribe, or it’s about some topic that I don’t really know much about or don’t have much interest in, and I have to look up something or watch youtube videos to figure out if I’m getting it right.
