Just a thought.

I was thinking of what a friend mentioned to me the other day.

This friend has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

He says when the voices become unbearable.

He drinks to drown the voices.

My thought was,does it affect the voices?

Do the voices come back sounding inebriated?

He said with half of a smile.

I never noticed.

That led me to believe,the voices aren't as attached as they seem.

Which should give people some hope.

Is there anyone who can truly answer my question from a knowledge of psychiatry or some one who lives with schizophrenia?

Living with schizophrenia sounds detached.

Sharing the rent in your head.

Can we make the voices go away without medication?

Is it the little voice in our head?

But for some,we started talking to it.

Now it's the annoying roommate that will never go away.

Just a thought!

The reason it interests me so much is that I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia and I have never heard a voice in my head.

So if I seem to be saying these things jokingly,forgive me it's out of frustration.
