Anyone else have nice voices?

Hi. I just joined.

When I first started hearing voices, they were terrible. They egged on my psychosis etc

But for a while now we’ve been on the same page. They’re kind, helpful, and respectful of my space. I rather enjoy their input. I’ve not spoken to anyone else who has kind voices.

I’m wondering, what’s your experience? Have your voices been nice to you?

Both. Nice is trickery, acting like friends then turn on me

I’m glad to hear your voices are treating you well!! Though, it’s not the same case with me…I imagine nice voices would make dealing with psychosis a bit easier but all my voices have been ugly…

Well there was a case of me having an oddly “real” imaginary friend during late-ish childhood, she was super nice and spoke to me softly…unsure if she was a hallucination or just an imaginary friend though, so take that with a grain of salt

I have heard it’s possible to have nice voices, but I haven’t heard someone actually experience them till now!! It’s interesting how our experiences differ

Your lucky! My voices don’t respect my space at all. They’re totally wrathful.

Thanks for sharing!

Wow I did not realise it was so rare to have good voices. I’m even more appreciative of them now. Hope you and your voices manage to to make peace. Everything changed for me when we (voices and I) agreed on the same goals.

It is rare. The problem with nice voices is they increase the temptation to interact with them. Over the last three decades the more I have seen others interact with their voices, the less recovery they have demonstrated. I have talked to psychiatrists about this and they all say the same. Ignoring voices is the better path to recovery.

Thank you and I appreciate the heads up. I’ll take it into consideration. Though I am conflicted since my voices have helped me alot. They almost got me out of a psychosis when they first turned kind. And they rarely ever bother me when I’m around people. They’ve even acted as my therapists.

Have you met anyone with kind voices? Or do you have them?

Nope voice are totally gone but noises do respond if i have something unanswered.

@Happy but never ever interact with voices they are not real its misinterpretation of you own conversations / mind.

My voices have never been nice but at times they’ve been more benign. Mostly they’re mean, though, and tell me to hurt myself.

@339 Do you have any examples of what can happen when interacting with voices? Why does it not go well for people who interact? I’m aware that they’re a part of my mind :blush: I just happen to find it a useful part sometimes.

@WhiteRaven I used to have a similar voice who’d tell me I aught to die. It was ■■■■ having my own mind work against me. Respect for coping with that. i wish you better.

My voices tell me that I am hurting them and hurting everyone. They claim I am interacting with real people and I am doing wrong towards them. It feels so real. I’m going to the psychologist now. I will see what he says.

Doubt you’re significantly hurting anyone. You seem to concerned about others to be.

When my voices first appeared they told alot of stories. Almost died due to finally believing them. Heard that us with these psychotic illnesses are more likely to be a danger to ourself then others.

You’re very strong having gotten this far with all your dealing with. Good luck in therapy.

Hey dude.. lately i been stressed out.. from reasons… it was the stressed feeling that i felt, just before i got put in the mental ward for the first time… Im not sure what I got to do.. So im trying to avoid people right now…It dosent sound right.. But maybe i just need some stress free time for my brain to heal for a week. As in not going out much.

Nice and cruel. Alternating between the two. I don’t think many have voices that are kind all the time. I’ve heard of voices preventing people from doing art but mine insist no matter how mean they are.

I sat in the sunlight the other day and my voices went away so that I just didn’t believe. My voices can’t harm me anymore because they just get harmed themselves.

Oh my what can i say about voices, they are so true. in both extremes. We make the meaning out of nonsense which are not true, overall with my experience people say I am not mature, I am a big mouth, opening them with out knowing the situation at hand.I will never learn. If somethings need to kept secret or we need to completely forget about it. If there is no growth then having them is no use even I feel like a king. A wise man always say wise man’s words and a fool’s ego you will know by its fruits.
