My therapist wants me to self assess between the two.

I keep hearing beeps and I’m 50% sure they’re hallucinations, they are increasing in frequency and they’re so mild but so irritating

What do the voices sound like? I’m not sure I actually have any

What are voices in the head like for everyone else? I feel as though I’m confused about whether they’re voices or my thoughts. I don’t control them, but I hear them the same way I hear my thoughts.

My psychiatrist suspects I have schizoaffective disorder (manic schizophrenia), but I believe I made this up in my head. I believe I started faking the symptoms, and faked them to the point the doctors believed it. How can I convince them otherwise?
