My voices stopped saying I was a bad person after 30 years of saying it. It’s really wrong of the voices to use religion and morality to make us feel guilt. I wonder why that symptom is so prevalent?

Is these voices coming during inattention spell? I mean your mind becomes blank and suddenly these voices or thoughts coming and you not able to distinguish whether its real or not?
Yeah why our voices
act as our worst enemies?
Why does our own brain
turns against us?

Its commentary, gossip etc turned towards us. For example if we hear a news we start to give opinions, doubts, criticism etc automatically. This same thing our mind tells about us and we start to believe it as if true.

I’m not sure how the voices pick the topics to talk about.
I guess when I’m poor, they comment on my poverty.
If I bump into this person, they comment on that.

Yes my voices say I’m bad and I should eat ■■■■ and die.
They never said the word “bad” but they said negative things.
Mine just try to be constantly annoying. I’ve gotten a lot better at not listening, so it affects me a lot less now.
They don’t say I’m a bad person, but they suggest.
My “voices” used to try to make me feel guilty all the time using religion. And they almost always succeeded. My voices came in the form of delusions of reference.

More so weak by implication, but also bad. I have good self-esteem, so I don’t know how that is supposed to work. Been better at least some with medication.
So you have turned that around into your current faith? It’s just that you have spoken before of spiritual matters

@dcragg65 , God used to reprimand me for basically not following the commandments. Now, I am obedient to all ten of the commandments so he doesn’t get mad at me anymore.

@Anna I see that you are a psychiatric nurse. Do you find having a diagnosis of your own makes your job easier, or more challenging?
That is funny, Anna. You’re a champion if you’re a psychiatric nurse!

I find it makes me a better nurse because it gives me an extra layer of compassion and understanding for what a lot of my patients are going through. And it means I know a lot about the system and the treatments not just because I was taught about them but because I had to experience them myself too so that I think helps me help my patients better as well.

That’s really quite a beautiful thing.

My voices say some pretty repugnant things, that if I were to write them down here, I’d probably get suspended. 
My voices say I’m awesome.
My response to them is shut up, stay quiet, leave. Do they? No, not really. But at least they aren’t telling me to kill people or calling me names.
