Hmm this is a very distressing and incredibly frustrating symptom. Feeling as if I don't have a voice.

I mean I can hear my own voice, but whenever I talk now it doesn't really feel like I am actually talking, kind of feels like Im half awake and not really talking at all, also the will aspect or the self part of me doesn't feel like it talks or expresses it self. Perhaps in my own confusion I have abstracted myself so much as to feel like I don't have a voice anymore.

Still incredibly frustrating, Not having a voice......

I do this too, any others? It SCARES me sooo much! Makes me not want to talk! It just feels weird.

Yeah, when it's bad I have this. It feels like your voice is coming from the left side or right side. Like it's not coming directly from your mouth. Pretty weird. Also it's like I have to slow down and really think about what I said, almost like I would forget what I said if I didn't pay attention. Try your best not to pay any attention to this, dismiss it, as hard as it may seem to be. I don't really have this much anymore.

i've had this for such a long time. i can't hear my own voice. like the actual tone. i think i have gotten used to it, but i sure don't like it. it defintely makes me not want to talk that much. i never initiate convo's i only talked when i am being talked to and i always used to start off conversations when i was in touch with myself with like something random.

Yeh I have that feeling of my voice not originating from my body, which is incredibly odd, almost as if im some kind of detached entity or other, again stupid anxiety rears it head. I have the slowing down thing too, its like every thing g oe s in sl o w mo ition and i slow do wn as well and then i cant focus we l l en ou gh on wh a t I am saying.

Yeh I do try my best to ignore this voiceless crazyness, but sometimes I go on autopilot of sorts where I automatically detach my self from my voice, I think I really just need to get rid of my tension and anxiety.

Same with me now, Certainly my tone of my voice seems strange sometimes, kind of my voice is either quite low or kind of hovering in tone and then other times espeacilly when I laugh it goes very high, and weaselish.

for me, when i'm feeling really dred, my voice sounds thunderous in my head. it echos around loudly after i say anything and it makes it really hard to have a conversation. it's like when your cell phone has a slight echo except a ton worse.

i've had this symptom since the onset of dp i find that if you stop analazing it then it isn't so bad...i have bad days with it trying to work out were the voice is coming from...sometimes you just listen to what is been said and then realise its you speaking...its real freaky

I had this when my dp was really bad. I agree with what everyone said and try to ignore it. You'll eventually stop thinking about it so much. This was one of my worst symptoms because it was so scary.

For sure. Sounds just like my post.

I get this ALL the time. I have it horribly bad right now. It REALLY feels like I am not talking. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY sucks. My mind feels so detached from my body and the world around me, I am waiting to vanish any second. Sheesh.
