Weird but true, not hearing voices or getting thoughts implanted all of a sudden! Was thinking of getting meds to get rid of voices yesterday, but if it continues like this its all going good. Never felt like this in a while now.
The longest mine have gone away is about a week or so. I have one to a few days in a row pretty regularly with no voices. I hope you’re being proactive and healthy, and I hope your voices stay away.
that’s great…and you don’t take any meds?
WEARE BACK…JUST KIDDING…I never did like putting up with non bodied voices that come and go as they please. so I take my med and hope for the best. that’s great…
Do you also have a rough time with delusions?
I personally feel like I can handle hallucinations alright, as they are usually brief, and I almost always have insight that they are not real, at first, when it’s just hallucinations. Plus I find that hallucinations are fairly easy for me to identify.
But delusions are much trickier business and much, much harder for me to detect (if even possible at times), and can sneak up and bite me in the *** pretty easily.
Visual hallucinations popped up this Saturday with constant voices. My delusions are under control now though. I did believe, in december of 2014, that my 2 year old nephew was (several times also, that i myself am) the reincarnation of satan… lasted for almost a year. I think this movie called “Rosemarys baby” has messed up my mind so so bad… and reading the book of revelation did no less of equal damage… I curse my teacher of religion class for ever suggesting me to watch this film!
What would your delusions be? Are you taking any anti psychotics to help keep them at bay?
Sadly youre right. Heard voices this morning again after drinking my coffee, now they seem quiet again. Man i wish it wouldve stayed the way it was yesterday afternoon…
No, havent taken meds since August or September 2015. The meds i was given didnt help my condition or auditory hallucinations. But i must admit i often wish i was back on medication to get rid of the positive symptoms at least. I have an appointment with my psychologist this week and if nothing gets better the only solution would be to try new anti psychotics again.
I recommend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I don’t take meds, and CBT and other life management tools, have helped me tremendously. I am not symptom free, that’s not my goal, but I live a pretty decent quiet little life.
