fkphamah0es Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I'm interested how many not only got the blank mind, but also lost their inner monologue, I lost it completly, there is silence in my head 24 / 7 since years and for me it is the worst symptom of this whole nightmare. There always was my mind talking before! I think the sign of not having one is just proofs more that I got chemicaly lobotomized, no sense of self. An internal monologue, also called self-talk, inner speech, inner discourse or internal discourse, is a person's inner voice which provides a running verbal monologue of thoughts while they are conscious.[1] It is usually tied to a person's sense of self. It is particularly important in planning, problem solving, self-reflection, self-image, critical thinking, emotions,[2] and subvocalization (reading in one's head).

UnfoldingSky Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Lack of inner auditory imagery/inner monologue...I had this from psych drug harm. I'm now recovered but thought it worth posting for those who haven't yet and wonder what is going on...They now have a term for this called anauralia. 1 I am not a medical professional and nothing I say is a medical opinion or meant to be medical advice, please seek a competent and trusted medical professional to consult for all medical decisions.
