should i be concerned?

Is it normal to hear voices in your head? Or should I be concerned?

Let’s say it’s normal to hear voices in your head, is it normal that I can’t describe the way those voices actually sound? Or should I be concerned?

Let’s say that it’s normal to hear voices in your head AND it’s okay that describing those voices is difficult; is it normal that those voices seem infinite, as in I can’t actually number the amount of voices I hear in my head? Or should I be concerned?

It’s been so long since I jumped on Substack. At least, that’s how it seems (because it’s only really been two weeks). When I first fell in love with this platform during my most recent sabbatical (July seems like a lifetime ago…), I was on here daily. It was a life boat. It was an essential ingredient to the recipe to end my relationship with doomscrolling. Substack became the life partner you thought didn’t exist (or you didn’t think you deserved because of your previous relationship choices) that you met casually in a coffee shop and you hadn’t stopped thinking about since. They had you sipping on coffee you don’t drink and tea you can’t really taste.

And then, life happened.
