You're definitely not alone.
My voices are inside my head. They're amplifications of depressed/negative/anxious thoughts from my subconscious mind. They first started when I was doing way too much meditative practice, and was also having a stress breakdown due to problems at work. They're not there all the time, but come when I'm under extreme stress of some kind. It's like part of my mind [internalisation of abusers] likes to torture me with this stuff.
Sometimes they're also commentary on what's going on, from a split off part of my personality. That's been more recently, as I connect with myself more through therapy work.
I wrote an article on voices for the eZine a while back. I'll see if I can find it later if you like.
