Posted by Dan Joyce on
So, you tell me you hear voices. You say you’re schizophrenic. That’s a hard one. I’m not going to lie; I don’t hear voices myself. But I get the tapes. You know, those endless loops of criticism in my head, usually my mother arguing with me about something from years ago. It’s an argument I can’t win. You seem to relate to that on some level.
