Does everyone else's voices make them feel like a bad person

Hi,

I was just wondering if it is common for the voices to make you feel like a bad person. The evil voice I hear constantly brings up bad things I’ve done and makes me feel like I’m bad. Does this happen to everyone with Schizophrenia?

Thanks,

SnowTiger

Well, it happens to me.

Yes. I think they want to brainwash people so dumb people can control everything.

The voice is essentially yourself, so it knows which button to press to degrade you

My voices (before going into remission 3 months ago) used to tell me that I’m worthless and I’m useless. They make me feel very powerless. It’s very bothersome. I can’t say that this happens to everyone with schizophrenia, or people with psychosis (in general). I don’t have sz- I have psychotic depression, and because of the nature of my depression my psychosis tend to be very negative as well.

I’m being told every day things related to me being a bad person because of my stupidity. Supposedly this is the reason why I got this disease - to prevent a stupid person from making mistakes that have a bad effect on others.

No, but the voices tell me that the people closest to me and my family are bad people. but they are not bad people.

Yes my one voice Alien the evil spirit in my head tells me I’m a hypocrite and murderer. Tries to bring me down and makes me believe his lies.

Hi, mine were quite the opposite. They would build me up and make me feel great about myself. I am still grateful they went away as the voices just fed into my delusions of grandeur and made me a risk taker and I was becoming a danger to myself and others.

I had both good and bad ones.
Some would try to bring me down, while other would comfort me or cheer me on.
