Is it normal to treat yourself this way?

Hey! ^_^ This will be long, but try to hang in there :P

Okay, I don't really know how to write this, but I'll do my best to make it understandable.

Ever since I was young, I'd make up these really vivid daydreams of myself getting hurt. It was just a strange habit back then.

Sometimes, I'd get burnt to death, or ripped apart by wolves. Other times, I'd be eaten alive by thousands of bugs or completely humiliated.

As years passed by, the daydreams actually began to hurt. I swear, the pain was so real. Once, I even checked my body for bug bites, because I could feel the stings all over.
Now, I hear a voice (No, I'm not schizophrenic :]), anyway this voice is mine. It's not just like thinking in your head, the voice is actually like I'm talking to myself (does that make sense?) I hear me say all sorts of mean things about my self.

The worst part about it is that there's no getting away. I feel like I've become my own arch enemy ._.
Does this happen to anyone else out there? Is there a way to stop it?

I'm sorry it was so long >_<

    It wasn't long trust me. :)

    I'm sorry, I've never heard of someone's daydreams turning into reality. I've never heard of daydreaming so much it causes hallucinations. It seems like you think too much.

    You hear voices as in it's you thinking but than it's kinda like you actually heard it out loud/ louder than usual?

    No. It could be form of psychosis or this theory may be a bit far out but similar "occurrences" have happened to me... Your thoughts could have been so "strong" that they started to manifest themselves on the psychical plane. Who knows? You might even be experiencing a form of paranormal activity.

    I used to hear voices whenever I read too much. Sometimes, the reading made me tired aand I would hear sounds or voices.

    I forgot about this as well, but psychosis can also be caused by substance abuse, so if you were taking drugs, it may be a factor. If your not taking illegal drugs, then don't start because it will make it worse. Once again, good luck :) I hope this gets better for you

    This sounds like psychosis. There was a bunch of awareness things going on at my school when I was younger. It's from mental stress. One reason is due to bullying, but sounds like that's not the case here. Best thing you can do is use your own voice and tell yourself positive things. If you keep up with the positive and don't let the bad get the better of you, you may have a chance. If you catch it soon enough, this isn't one of those things that will stick with you for life, but it easily can be. Be careful with your choices from now on and for goodness sake THINK POSITIVE. Ways to inhibit the happy chemical in your brain is proper exercise, and a healthy diet. I'd hate to hear this escalate, good luck to you

    I would advice you to talk to a doctor about the voice
    (who knows what it might be related to)

    i would recommend meditation (being at peace with yourself sounds cliche but it works wonders), it's like going to the gym except it's for the mind. i can give you more info if you need

    barring that please go see a psychoanalyst, they can tell you a lot about yourself if you are honest with them

    barring that go see a psychiatrist,

    barring that i would recommend that you at least talk to someone about your situation (essentially same as the previous two recommendations)

    good luck
