Does anyone else have voices with names?
Whenever I have voices they are like real people planted in my head..

Currently I have 'Fiona', she is really mean to me and gives me the most trouble.
Second I have 'my happy man', he is really nice and he looks after me and keeps me safe.

Also, do you find you get obsessive about certain things (e.g. a number, word, song, person)?

I tend to be obsessive with the number 6,
I just have to count my steps like 1,2,3,4,5,6... 1,2,3,4,5,6 or I have to group things in 6's. I write 6 6's on my hand, do 6 pushups at a time, drink 6 cups of water, etc..

I'm worried its starting to ruined my life.

You need to see a doctor, that does sound like schizophrenia.

My Uncle had it and never took his medication.

He ended up trying to strangle his own mother, and ended up in a mental hospital where he died, alone, of four different types of cancer.

You don't want to end up like that. See the doctor, get diagnosed, and take your medication regularly, you will then be able to lead a fairly normal life devoid of voices in your head.

Yea the #3 is like my #. If I do something I have to do it 3 times or else I feel like weird or like something bad is going to happen. I'm not Schizophrenic though.

I like grouping this in 3's, 4's, and 5's.
I hear exactly two voices in my head - one of a British woman, and the other of an old man.  I don't know any of their names.  However, every once in a while a new voice will come and go, but sometimes they're voices of people I actually know in real life, except in my head.  It's rather hard to tell reality from my mnid at times.

No, dumbass, he got the cancers from smoking and drinking so much to try and "Escape the voices."

join the club. i hear voices all the time, but they are nameless. i sometimes see them which prevent me from sleeping because they scare me. they tell me things i wish not to hear, and i am constantly paranoid. i like to have everything in even numbers too. like the sound on the TV if its on 23 i immediately have to change it to 24 if there is an odd pair i have to find something to make it even this has changed my life. i don't considering ruining my life. i don't have many friends because i am too paranoid to go out and meet people. when i am surrounded by people i hear million of voices and i feel everyone of them is talking to me and making fun of me so when i hear people laugh i think they are laughing at me. i dropped out of school because of this and i started taking classes again, its rather difficult, but if you meet someone and they start talking to you and become close to you , you know its something special. i feel that this disorder is the reason i have my best friend
