Does anyone miss their voices?

I’m not on any medication, but my voices are far from constant and even though none of them are positive, I miss the company quite often at the moment.

I feel like one of them may manipulate me, because although it is very hurtful, insulting and sometimes frightening, I still feel like I need it and it’s only trying to fix my helpless case. It has told me this, and I at least partly believe it, but I do feel like it’s wrong to miss the voices when they’re not there.

I still have them and wish they would leave me the hell alone. I cant even be away from my girlfriend because they tell me lies about her and that she lies to me about being healthy

I’m really sorry to hear that :confused: no one should have to live with anything that constant.

Its okay its not anyones fault but the faulty brain of schizophrenia. I wish I could realize that and persist with it when its happening though. Im glad your feeling better though, dont feel lonely, feel happy :slight_smile:

Thank you, but, like it is for you, that’s easier said than done.

I’ll be honest I hate my voices, but if they don’t speak I get anxious and don’t know what’s wrong.

True that, you will find some reason for happiness soon enough though I hope

If my voices would go away I would be so thankful! I would not miss them!

Unfortunately it seems like they will never go away, even with medication.

Thank you, I hope the same for you as well

I feel I would be afraid to take medication to stop it, as I usually find the silence worse than the voices.

Yeah, when I was on an AP and my head was quiet I felt very alone.

I’m on the fence about this. I want my delusion to go away and with it, the voice in my head. On the other hand, the voice is comforting in a way. Oddly, the voice is proof I’m not crazy. Seems it would be the opposite. I understand both sides. Wanting it to go away and missing it.

It’s funny when I had voices I wanted them to go away so badly, I’d scream. Then when I was put on medication and they faded away I definitely, if only for a moment, was like “hmm I kinda miss those guys”, I felt naked, but it’s because I thought my voices were cryptic guides/narrator’s

I feel that way too. When Alien speaks to me I tell him to go away but when he hasn’t bothered me for some time I miss him. It’s so weird! It’s a love/hate relationship.

For several years, my medicine kept away the negative voices, but the positive ones still hung around. I also heard music almost constantly, and I loved it. After this most recent medication adjustment, all my hallucinations faded away. It has been three months since I’ve seen or heard anything. I do miss it sometimes. I had a news anchor who would broadcast the events of my day in a funny, sarcastic way. He always made me laugh, and my husband liked when I would share his broadcasts with him. I loved sitting around and listening to my music play for hours on end. Now, I feel like I’ve lost something.

On the positive side, it is much easier to drive, because I no longer hallucinate people jumping out in front of my car. I definitely prefer life this way, but I do miss certain things.

One of my voices was an ex-boyfriend who died, and I miss hearing his voice.

I like everyone to be organized and civil, If they are rude or mean they can shut the ■■■■ up. But I don’t want it too quiet I don’t know how to behave.

Yes after drinking the draino my voice is different now. Although if you are talking about hallucinations mine sucked so I don’t miss them. I did notice that I did feel lonely when they left though.
