They’re being constant tonight. They’re pushing me down a dark hole with nothing to grab onto to hold or pull myself up with. I’m ugly, worthless, helpless, hopeless. I am just less tonight. I don’t know what set it off this time. ? I was in such a good mood Friday it’s a bit of a shock to feel this low tonight. Aside from the voices the whole the hallucinations have given me a sharp metal knife. I’m doing all I can to not reach out for that knife tonight…I don’t want to alarm anyone with this post. It’s just what is playing in my head and I thought if I shared it, it might not be so intense…you know venting to let it out before it gets any further out of control?

Does listening to music help? I’ve heard a lot of people who hear voices put their headphones on. I don’t hear them that often, I struggle more with visuals. Try googling coping skills. I hope it gets better. 
Hearing voice is awful! I don’t know what to say to you, sohare1981. Maybe you should switch to other meds that are more potent.
I do enjoy listening to music but unfortunately the voices I hear are inside my head, not actual auditory voices…so music doesn’t really always work for me. Just have to try and ignore them the best I can…did dishes without any problems (i.e. didn’t try and hurt myself) so I think I’m okay. It’s just hurtful and upsetting hearing the things that they’re telling me.

Hang in there sohare. This will pass. Remember the good times and be positive. ■■■■ the voices they are bs. I’m sure you’re an outstanding person with a lot of talent. Get some sleep. Good luck fighting this, we all are here.

mine have been like that for about 10 days now but it’s ok. i can cope. you just have to remember that they are not real at all and just a product of your own mind. i know they can be distressing but so long as you don’t hurt yourself you should be fine. as bryan said, this time will pass and they will quiet back down again. mine won’t but yours will. maybe time for a med change or uppage? just know that we care and are supporting you. remember, this time will pass. keep strong hunni xxx

I say tell em’ that!
They seem pretty quiet today, I guess they over did themselves last night…my mood is still down but not as bad as it was last night. It’s been nice and quiet here and have had time to myself that usually helps. Thanks for the support everyone, I really needed it.

you’re very welcome hunni xxx
I have the same voices as you do. I try not to take them seriously. They’ll say things like “Die whore,” or “Monster. You’re a monster.” Or they’ll be cursing at me and all other manner of things.
They’re just a load of hot air. Don’t take ANYTHING they say seriously. It’s just noise. Try to think of them as parrots that just keep repeating the same thing but it doesn’t mean anything.
I also realize that negative voices can directly correlate with negative feelings we have towards ourselves, so introspection has helped me as well. For example, when one of my voices started yelling “THEY HATE US. THEY ALL HATE US. AND WE HATE THEM.” I clarified the feeling and said that I’d been feeling left out lately, but it was probably just my perception since I was in an episode. My friends love me and while I felt frustrated at them for not spending time with me, I certainly didn’t hate them. It actually calmed the voices down.
Hope any of that was useful!

it’s true music does help…maybe you should try that…ignore the voices, if u can make that happen then you’re freed
This song makes me think of what the voices would do. Sorry. I’m not trying to get you down. It’s the same for me! ^.^ I find it more entertaining than finding it… real emotional.
Think of it like this.
In the song it says.
He lied to me, he shot at me, he hates me, he’s using me.
That are like the voices! They lie, they steal, they shoot, and they hate as well try and use you… For stupid ■■■■ too! Don’t let it get you down.
Also. Enjoy the awesome spider man electro theme! xD
