My voices come to me every 5 seconds unless I’m distracted I think my pdocs and everyone on here or ppl I’ve met lied about their condition going away I need to know at this point in time ready to accept and commit to my life being bothered or have high hopes for the future

I’ve heard from some people the voices never go away completely. my voices have lessened since the dose of meds have been increased a month ago.

i think in my case the voice didnt develop fully into full blown voices and also they are mostly on my side so my brain isnt being mean to me, maybe i was caught early and treated before they were a runaway train, maybe my meds have kept them at bay,

i do know this though, they would get a lot worse if i was unmedicated for a long period of time,

my biggest fear was ending up like the people in the ward next to me when i was in hospital with their endless chatter, talking with themselves or their voices ‘i did not want to end up like that’ i dont want to end up like that, maybe this has helped as well, a healthy fear for a change.

I mine go away but only temporarily. I wish I could give you more positive feedback and advice.

The one thing that has really helped me out is my art. Do you draw, sing, or play guitar?

I find these things help me out tremendously when it comes to letting stress out.

My voices were a constant at their worst. They are MUCH lessened in time, due to going to the gym for years working energy up into my head where it needs to be so much. Also, good nutrition (I’m a vegan), learning, and beginner’s socializing . I have noticed a gradual increase in interest in life. And I quit smoking a year ago after gradually cutting down for a couple years.

My voices have not left me. I hear them all the time. Sometimes I get a break from them. I often listen to music on ear phones to rest my head.
