I never had any "imaginary friends" as a child. Perhaps that's why I don't have this advantage of hearing voices while at the grocery store purchasing things not on my list ... and forgetting the item for which I actually made the trip!

In fact, only one out of every three so-called "voice hearers" requires psychiatric help. The other two don't experience difficulties and may even consider their voices supportive or inspiring.</p> <P class="text">"My voices know me better than anyone else, and they also protect and comfort me," says Jacqui Dillon, head of a London support group for voice hearers. She and other group members report that voices can alert them to oncoming cars and suspicious passersby, provide encouragement during stressful times, and offer reminders to pick things up at the grocery store.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/27CC6C59-05EA-4148-88B9-8A25808BE7A4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
