Your inner voice whispers
I felt like I should put this on because I have been experiencing a lot of this and I had to draw it out. This picture mostly deals with one's inner voice. Many call it "Inner Conscience, Gut Instincts, Spirit Guild, Voice of Reasoning, Common Sense, or your Soul." There are many names for that voice that lives in your head, telling you what is right and what is wrong. Most times, it comes on automatically, telling you about something when you feel something is amiss. Its like one's backup system, or one's guide. Many listen to it, others dont pay attention to it.
Lately, I have been hearing that voice in my head more and more now. I have been experiencing some pain in my head and body and I dont know why. I dont have anyone to talk to, so that leaves that small voice in my head to speak. I listen to it almost every time when I have a clear mind and it always points me in the right direction or offers me advice to do something right. It is not just words that it gives out, but feelings as well: unexplainable feelings. Due to my pain and dizziness, I have been having this feeling deep down inside that I was going to have a short life. I dont know why or how that it is possible, but I have been feeling it more and more now. It is a terrifying thought that I dont know if it is true or not. Heck, I dont know if it is really from a physical condition or an unforeseen event. I am just very spiritual and I always listen to contact and spiritual feelings. Most of the time, they are positive feelings.
I have been reading up on birth defects and how they can effect the body. Many people are born with birth defects that are untraceable. These are unseen causes of strokes, blood clogs, bad hearts, weak bones, etc. they cant be found when you are born, but slowly, they progress into something that your body can not handle. A large percentage of humans have it, but a small percentage of them suffer due to it.
Am I telling you this to scare you or to make you feel uneasy? No. I am not. My art is like my journal. What I feel is what I draw. Its like a journal for me.
I just wanted to post this and see if anyone else have been feeling this way on random days. Do you guys listen to your inner voice or completely erase it from your mind? Do you believe what your inner voice is telling you, or do you believe it is just negative energy coming into your mind and warping it around? Do you understand what I am saying, or do you think I am just over exaggerating?

My inner voices (plural as there are many of the little fuckers) tell me the things I don't want to hear. My Gut instinct is what leads me away from bad situations and when i don't listen to her, she says "I told you so" quite loudly. My... dark side, aka the Green-eyed monster, aka Josie, has been hanging around lately and she's been whispering my doubts and fears loudly int my ears. The worst part is, Josie's voice is often loudest and it drowns out anything else until she's all I can hear in my own head.
And then her words start sounding like truth and the other voices and instincts are too muddled and confused to offer me clear guidance.

I listen to my "inner voice" all the time. There's hardly anything I do without checking my conscience. The state of my conscience is, or so I believe, the main cause for my feelings and for my behaviour.
I'd say if you have survived until your age than there's probably no birth defect responsible for your woes if you haven't experienced any similiar problems or noticed odd things about your body before; those things usually show earlier.
I've been following your journal entries for at least a year now and ckecked even older entries, and I think your problems are more mental than physical. Actually I've got a rough idea of what it might be. If you want to know what's wrong with you, then I would suggest you try to get information on mental dissorders rather than physical illnesses. Or you can ask me about what I think. I'm not an expert, but I have an interest in that stuff for personal reasons, too. You might not want to talk it over with a stranger it though, so maybe you just rather inform yourself.

My inner voice is why I am the person I am today. I grew up afraid of hardship and conflict, and now that I have had to own up to who I am inside, a dark terrible force that lingers within me (violent self serving sadist) plus transgender, I have had to face those very things I feared and hated. As far as pain goes, I too suffer from unseen pains with no explanation, other than "I need to fix it". My voice has been hounding me for answers and a cure, and I have finally listened to it. The doctors can't find anything medically wrong with me, but I finally got back to the one thing that did help, vigorous regular exercise, despite the burning and feeling of almost torn tendons (they are not, they just feel like it). It seems for me I am in pain from disuse and misuse, not from any medical condition (and if there is one, I don't know it) but I think part of the reason I couldn't get help even from physical therapy is that I didn't need someone to do it for me or tell me what to do, but to do it myself and listen to my body.
Sometimes fear speaks warnings and tells me to guard myself and my loved ones better. Sometimes, anxiety speaks in me, and tells me to find ways to de-stress and relax. Sometimes I need to listen to the inner voices, and sometimes I need to quiet them with--- or contrast them with---- voices of nature, letting the healing beauty of the earth in.
I hope your inner voice might only be guiding you to find new ways to take care of yourself so that you can be here with us, sharing your beautiful words and pictures, for a long, long time.

For years that voice has keep me just out of harms way. When I ignored the warnings it usually resulted in injury or my having to comforting a friend I could have warned. Since my mate died four years ago that voice died with her. What I have now are the echoes of her voice and the loneliness it brings. I now don the persuade of happiness mostly for my daughters benefit, but if it were not for her and my friends I would most certainly loose the battle. I know what my problem is. Now I warn you, find out what ghost haunts your soil, make peace with it. Don’t dwell on your longevity but find contentment. We all live within a finite amount of time. As our time draws to an end strive to take many good memories with you. Fill your life with happiness and remember it, leave no room for sorrow. If you need help, please, seek it out. It may be as simple as a word from a kind stranger, or a little voice that lives in your head.
Ive felt like that alot these last few days, normally waking up in the morning and thinking should I bother getting up today and go to work,going back to a place that doesn't really want me,but so far my inner voice always talks me out of it,I have to at the end of the day I need money for rent or to continue doing the things I like...
We all have some sort of conscience behind our thoughts it just depends if you listen to it or not,its there as a guide to most of us but to some of us it can lead us onto the wrong paths,best is just to listen to it and then logically think it trough, because sometimes that voice points you into the direction of desire and lust,hence one can say "My heart yearns out but my brain says no",but I do believe that one can train your inner voice to help you instead of wanting selfish desire...

there are often voices or senses in my head, but they are shifty and often contradict what i know is right. In highschool i put a filter on the lot so i could rationalize a tangent in my mind as it being 'someone else.' It's where my characters came from. Now, though, i've lost it, and basically have been developing a more serious form of depression..
might cause me to fail out of college badly.

I never got any "big" messages like my own death or anything... But I once dreamed that my cat, who at the time had been gone three weeks, came home - and only two days later, he did. It was big to me.
And that inner voice is always there, if I care to listen. Sometimes it's more tangible, sometimes less. But usually, when I listen up, it speaks very clearly. I believe in what they call "tacit knowledge" in all its levels, including when you just know things will be good or bad if you do something a certain day, etc. - and like when you can't explain why you choose to do things a certain way - you just know it will be the right path. Listening to that inner voice makes decisions easier somehow, it makes me very calm even when nobody agrees with me.
I love the eye of the character in the picture here, it's like (s)he's really tired but still really focused.

Double posting - I go.
But I have dizzy spells and feelings of nausea sometimes - and more than anything, I get headaches if people around me are tense for some reason. Sometimes to the edge of migraine. (I also get dizzy and / or get joint and muscle soreness when I'm mentally pressured myself)
I think that some people are (in relation to the general populace) extremely sensitive to small changes in body language, the signals everything (not just humans) sends out all the time, atmosphere, all of it. I heard of a woman who gets nauseous when people lie, even if she doesn't consciously know that they do.
It's like the discrepancy between what people say and what actually comes at you from their body language or their "aura" makes you car sick or something.

If i really understand what you're saying my "inner voice" is not a "voice", it's a state of mind that gives me different feelings in different situations. I know they came from the same source, and i know that, sometimes, they are not what i'm feeling but probably, what i will feel. But, then, they get the voice from the "rational parts" of my mind and start the never ending fighting against different points of view.The fact is that for everything i try to ask myself "why" and then try to find the mental course that got me there.Probably coherence is not, as i sometimes happen to think, a way to making sense of an action.
Inner voice... hmm, I wouldnt call mine that. Too fancy or descriptive for me.
I simply call it a deep feeling.
I listen to that feelng in my heart and soul and tend to let it guide me.
I'm a good guy I'm always helpfull so it never has really steered me wrong.
Though Ive made alot of mistakes I only have myself to blame.
However this feeling, despite what it has and hasnt done for me, I still dont trust. I cant explain its causes scientificly so I can't beleive that it isnt just my own inner will telling me things I wanna hear.
Still, I've had feelings of predictions and the like, though no preminition ever seemed right to me, I'm always skeptical of it.
Ive yet to truely prove one right, but I have to say that I've had one simular to yours.
Since I was sixteen I've been aware of this odd feeling I have deep in my heart, my soul maybe, though more or less its just a feeling.
It tells me I will change one day, that somehow I may not be me anymore, something of great change. My first interpretation of it was death.
The feeling feels stronger than before this year and I've been able to pinpoint the feeling by comparing it with differnt ideas of what it could be.
Its not at all accurate but Its something I'm now waiting for.
Its scary yes, but why does one need to fear the death in the future?
Especially one that seems connected to an odd sense.
That sense of forthcoming danger perhaps.
If you can see it coming, then you might as well strengthen yourself to deal with it. If you dont wanna die early if that is truly in your future then with that feeling perhaps you can change it.
I think it would be nice to have a nice death, but do I really wanna die? Dying fighting to protect sounds nice, but theres too many poeple that may need my help or those I should keep happy, be them those I know now or not.
I want to live, so if this preminition is true then I'll have the advantage of being ready for it.
Untill that day I can never prove the truth in this feeling. For all I know it may be meaningless or even somehing entirely differnt. Could be someone elses end Im feeling. Theres no way to tell.
For you, I think you may have picked up on that feeling through your clear minded thought.
It is true that our bodies have a time set for our own death, it can be possible to pick up on that as a feeling. Though that feeling should have nothing to do with illness defects or anything beyond a natural end most likely at an old age.
Possibly this can be overcome by shear will regardless anyway.
I think the thought of these defects are making you feel uneasy with this deep feeling you have.
You shouldnt let it bother you, but if you think it would be in anyway true, then theres no point in worring about it. You might aswell be strong and grow stronger to overcome it. If it feels futile, then do it anyway, since that is a part of living.
Its not the death that truely matters, but the path getting there that truely shapes ones life. If you simply worry about the future then you'll waste your energy you need to truely move forward. Waiting for death is pointless as death waits for no man.
Also, from my own understanding I beleive that humans have an instinct to be in groups. We all always feel better in a group or family. Its natural, most other creatures do the same. Though we humans have a harder time keeping our minds together on our own.
Sometimes you need to talk raw and honestly to another to help reassess a feeling. Especially one that bothers you so much.
If you feel you cant talk to someone, then you'll simply have to be stronger.
You cant let such a feeling hold you back. You may not always be able to just forget it but perhaps you can find a way to deal with it.
Its all life, and feelings always mean something.
The dizzyness and unkown pains are bothersome and the cuase might be unkown but stress can be a factor. Maybe even if it is a defect, then your somehow allowing it to hurt. A thing like a headache can be controled with the right meditation I beleive. Real physical pains are much harder to control but they are there to tell you to deal with it somehow, to fix whatever problem.
Long arse post I know, also a week late, but it reminds me too much of my own feelings and I had to say something.
I dont think anyone should hold themselves back with such things.
Be strong and dont let such a simple thing get ya down.
If it would be such a hard to fix problem, then simply be ready and strong inorder to deal with it.
Worry and sadness will get you no where if you cant let it out in a healthy way that helps you deal with it.
Dont let it get you down, feel what you have to feel and be strong for this is life. Live it and do as you feel makes you happy. Move forward and grow regardless of the end.
