In an unexpected turn of events, local woman Kea Marsden told Squeaky Wheel reporters that one of her schizophrenic voices has been surprisingly helpful lately.
Marsden, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia for 10 years, was understandably taken aback a few weeks ago when one of her schizophrenic voices appeared to inject some helpful and constructive thoughts into her brain.
“I didn’t know what to make of it!” said Marsden. “I know this voice, and she’s normally a gleeful dick telling me to stab myself in the eye and cackling, but the other week she told me I should express my feelings to my friends and get back in touch with them. Not very in character for her, let me tell you!”
Marsden was quick to point out that the voice’s personality has not seemed to change suddenly, and that it is still unmistakably one of the many voices who regularly tells her to **** herself.
“She almost seems frustrated? Like she’s taking pity on me? Like she wants a more worthy sparring partner or something? Whatever, you know? She started telling me to get off my ass and drink some water, so I figured I should listen.”
Marsden also shared that it was this voice’s idea to reach out to The Squeaky Wheel.
“I guess public awareness is good for imaginary voices, but you know what? Talking to y’all does help!”
