This is a fantastic contribution to those of us who work with people who hear voices and don't believe medications are the only (or necessarily the best) way to respond to this situation.

You might want to check on it.

I have been hearing voices since late 2003. However I am pretty sure I am not crazy. There seemed to be people following me and such as well. It was like some big joke was being played on me. Sequently everyone on television started giving a hitchhikers thumb. I thought the T.V. was talking to me as it seemed to be a big fad. The t.V. was matching up with the voices in my head. I thought there was an internet site about me or I was on the radio or something. The movie stranger than fiction then came out years later. This coming from the phrase truth is stranger than fiction. I think I am a huge rumor and am trying to find answers. Please respond with any help. Please visit my website at heresmyvoice.com
