Hearing voices 24/7 even on antipsychotica
What a horrible disorder
Began to hear voices while I was in the psych ward and have done so for close to 2 year

I have heard voices 24/7 since 2012
There was some relenting in 2015-19
I now hold a better position with my voices
But they are very present

I have been hearing voices for more than 10 years non stop.

But they donā€™t bother me as much as my cracked brain.

They are horrible, for sure. I started hearing voices, and seeing imaginary things, around 1999 (looking back there were some signs in childhood). I was 24.

The voices got unbearable in 2007 or 2008ā€”I could barely hold a jobā€” so I asked for drugs. They helped a bit, but Iā€™m still getting break through voices all day, every day, but not in full paragraphs of loud talking. More like random words (though not as loud), and a few sentences (still all day, every day).

Doctor wants to put me on injections. This stinks, because there are side effects I canā€™t stand. Anyway, thatā€™s 24 years of their nonsense shoved into my mind. But I think Iā€™m very strong, stronger than THEM, and will continue fighting and ā€˜coping,ā€™ until Iā€™m 90.

Itā€™s different for everyone. The voices could diminish for you. Who can say for sure? Just focus on self-care and improving skills like social skills, and other stuff will fall into place.

Look into CBT. I still have the voices but now theyā€™re just background noise.

Iā€™m such a mastermind :disguised_face:
ā€œMade-upā€ = imagination
Falsely deviced
Falsely = not real, but made to look or seem real
Iā€™m in it to win it :star_struck:

I donā€™t get it, so a hobby treats stress and anxiety?

Yes. Doing something you enjoy takes your mind away from the things you donā€™t.

I realtly understand your issues because this is the first evenig in 4 days where the voices disappeared out of my life. My voices are notorious mean and so damn convincing. So bad that I really believe them when I hear them. They call me names like monkey, see lion. The call me gay that Iā€™ve never beenā€ā€¦ They call me drug user because I was an alcoholic 21 years ago.
You are the first person I tell this.

Yeah there is medication for stress, there is also meditationā€¦ in some situations I still get stressed or anxious.

It is what it isā€¦nothing analytical about itā€¦ Itā€™s just something someone said to me a lot.
