And, if so, have you ever tried to explain schizophrenia to them? How did that go?

Nope. I ignore mine. Iāve never seen any of the people who play with their voices show any sort of meaningful recovery.

Welcome to the forum!
I used to scream and shout at my voices. I used to walk back-and-forth in my apartment and talk loudly at them in the middle of the night.
After I got properly medicated I could ignore them. I do still hear voices though.
I try to ignore them the best I can.

When I have auditory hallucinations, usually the last thing on my mind is āI have schizophreniaā. For me, I get immersed in it when I get psychotic. And when I am not psychotic I donāt have auditory hallucinations.

I use to in my thoughts not out loud unless they made me angry.

Thatās a strange question. I gave into my voices. They like to call me stupid which hurts. Itās a wonder I still function living alone. I believe itās imagination.

Before meds I used to talk back a lot more because I couldnāt help it. Now I can ignore better. I have never thought of explaining schizophrenia to the voices. The theme of the voices is usually too random or very dark about dying or about paranoid thoughts. I havenāt ever sat around and had lucid conversations and explained what schizophrenia is to the voices. If Iām talking with the voices, Iām too psychotic to have lucid conversations with them, and way too immersed in whatever theme the voices want to torture me with. It is usually jumbled and really only makes sense to me, but not to the rest of the world.

If that makes any sense.

I thankfully no longer have voices. I still hear chatter when there probably shouldnāt be any, but the voices which hurt me are not there anymore. When I heard the nasty voices I would yell.
The main voice I had fed into my delusion but was kind and caring. I talked to him internally. There was one time I spoke to him and everything stopped no sound my ex wife was paused everything until he told me what he wanted to say and as soon as he stopped everything popped back into life. Was really freaky.
