For several yers i have people from the real life (i see them accidentially on the street or some other place) im my head.. they are different -their personalities, appearances , ages... some of them are evil.. but still they are in my head.. they dwell there.. they tell me what to do even when i am alone... it is not that i hear voices or see hallucinations.. they just are in my head... in these years time they are in my head for 24 hours 7days a week even when i waake up they are with me.. in my head and imagination... sometimes they would laugh about me wheen i fail to do sth...they judge me a lot..they critisize me...years going..they change... now there is some evil person in my head .. i once saw him on bus.. i had a feeling he was a bad person.. and an old man.. who critisizes me...i have these people in my head for years.. before 2 years. i had a person in my head the same age as me.. but he was better than the real me.. i imagined that my mother would like him better.. he was better than me.. i used to hate him...and for some 16 years i have somekind of fear about my family, my house.. and i have feeling that everybody's conspired against me...i'm paranoid when i'm in social environment...but i don't hear woices and don't see hallucinations.. maby somebody could help . i was searching on the net about ocasions of peole "living in the head" but i could not find anything... maybe you know more about my disease or sypthoms..i don't know.. but it would be good if you gave me some ideas or clues whats wrong with me.. i don't intend to see doctor or specialist.. but only thing i ask to be more clear about my condition...

I have similar experiences.

The people in my head are not strangers... they are people from my past. They ask me a lot of questions. I have elaborate fantasies involving them that take the form of memories. I still have a hard time believing that most of these memories are not real.

I've been in a mental hospital because of this ... I know what you mean when you say that you feel people are conspiring against you. MY psychologist would tell me that I am having "trouble with my reality" and I have been diagnosed with mania induced Psychosis ... which is a common thing for people with bipolar disorder.

Other people have told me that it could be demons taking the shape of those people and playing with my head. I was told to take authority over them in the name of Jesus.

The most interesting explanation I have been given, is that I am unhappy with my life, and therefore my mind is trying to work out a solution. The feeling of being conspired against and and having to deal with the incessant comments and questions that come from these "people in my head" comes from the fact that I am angry, scared, and disappointed deep in side. So what my mind is doing is using these "people" as avatars to voice my own questions and opinions about things. The trouble is ... it's my subconscious...which produces a lot of metaphor. So the outcome is frightening and confusing.

That person also told me to take authority over the "people in my head" and tell them point blank that they are not helping and to leave. Then he said I should figure out a game plan to make myself a more happy person.

I think that was great advice, and have been using it in combination with other things to control my bipolar disorder and the psychosis that goes with.

Just some food for thought....
