Here it often imagines things going wrong and negative outcomes this is called worry. The voice isn't necessarily relevant to the situation you find yourself in at the time it may be reviving the recent or distant past or rehearsing or imagining possible future situations. The voice comments, speculates, judges, compares, complains, likes, dislikes, and so on. Well, that's not much different from what you and all other "normal" people do, except that you don't do it out loud. You have probably come across "mad" people in the street incessantly talking or muttering to themselves.

When someone goes to the doctor and says, "I hear a voice in my head," he or she will most likely be sent to a psychiatrist.“Am I one or two? If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me: the ‘I’ and the ‘self’ that ‘I’ cannot live with.” “Maybe,” I thought, “only one of them is real.” Introduction Then suddenly I became aware of what a peculiar thought it was. “I cannot live with myself any longer.” This was the thought that kept repeating itself in my mind. What was the point in continuing to live with this burden of misery? Why carry on with this continuous struggle? I could feel that a deep longing for annihilation, for nonexistence, was now becoming much stronger than the instinctive desire to continue to live.It feels now as if I am talking about some past lifetime or somebody else's life. Until my thirtieth year, I lived in a state of almost continuous anxiety interspersed with periods of suicidal depression. I have little use for the past and rarely think about it however, I would briefly like to tell you how I came to be a spiritual teacher and how this book came into existence.
