Hey,
It'd be a good move to talk to a professional about this-maybe a GP to begin with? What to do is analyse them.
-How do they talk?
-How many are there?
-Do you recognise them (i.e-are they people you know, not have you gotten used to them)?
-What do they say?
- Do they speak in the same language?
-Are they interactive or do they just repeat the 1 phrase?
-Do they give a running commentary?
-Do they talk in the 1st person (i.e Simon, you'll have to do this) or the 3rd person (i.e Simon's tired today) or a mixture?
Those sorts of things. You're not alone-something like 10% of people with mental issues hear voices of some sort-ranging from the in-your-head ones that can come with things like anorexia, telling you not to eat, to fully blown Schizophrenia, with commands, unending running commentaries, screaming, etc.
Don't worry, they can't hurt you-they're voices. You have to keep a guard though. Be careful-not wishing to scare you but I've found myself in some very hazardous situations due to me not knowing the voices weren't just part of my brain, so the cutting/drug-taking/killing thing becomes part of your routine in a way.
Take care, and PM if you want to talk,
Simon.
