Discussion Random question on how your brain works...

[Forever Sleep]

Before you do a task, does your brain 'tell' you to do it? Before certain actions, my brain will 'voice' certain phrases: 'I need to brush my teeth. I need the loo. It's lunchtime! I must get on with my work now' It's more than just thinking about what I need to do. It's like a whole voice promt I tell myself. Sometimes out loud! Just wondering if it's the same for others...

Not really no, sometimes I will voice what I'm going to do as part of my internal monologue but that's it.

Interesting. I haven't come across this before. I had to Google it! Is it pleasant or, not so much? I suppose it's difficult to judge if you haven't experienced anything else.

for me it is a punishment
it is extremely unpleasant

If it is for sh could be : "do it. Yout pathetic. No one loves you. See. They dont care about you. Everyone wishes you were gone. Their lying to you."


Or even to cbt (idk if this happens to people) idk if they are voices or what but is not my inner monologue is like someone else. I cant really explain it. Since I don't think their voices cud their not coming from the outside. I'd hard to deal with that everytime im under a lot of stress.


Has anyone else experienced this??

Yes, I get the belittling voice too. Usually when it's the most damaging too- when I've already messed sonething up and what I really need is reassurance and encouragement but, what I get is: 'I can't believe how f*cking stupid you are. You've f*cked it up again! How many times have you done that wrong? Plus- everyone else has seen you screw up. God knows what they're thinking.' Followed by every criticism I can remember I've received- stretching way back into childhood. I'm a complete master at obliterating my confidence.

Sometimes I get a battle going on. All of that will be raging at me but, the voice of reason will also come in and say- 'Yes, you f*cked up again but, you're going to need to pull yourself together and fix it. No matter how worthless you're feeling- you can't just leave it. You'te going to have to do your best now to try to put it right- just try not to screw it up again!'

Yeah, I do tell myself to do things, and proceed to agrue with me when I don't want to do certain things.
