Got rid of my voices for a while!

My voices have always been the biggest problem for me as they torture me from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep…

Something happened now these past weeks, I went to visit my parents and stayed there for 9 days. They had visitors over who stayed the entire time. So it was socializing all day… something I’m not used to at all.

After about 2 days my voices disappeared, just a short phrase or word that I barely noticed.

At one point I stopped and noticed they were quiet… strange I thought, but ofc I was very happy about it.
My voices remained silent the rest of the stay.
Even when I got home, they were strangely enough quiet and have been so for 8 days, just until today they started acting up.

very strange, I’ve had voices for 11 years and I can only count 2 times they were gone. very shortly.

I’m really isolated all the time, thinking must have been all the socializing that had this effect on me. I should really try to find chances to put myself in social situations.
should be pointed out they were all family and friends and very kind people, maybe that makes a difference.

It was just such a nice time having your own thoughts, feelings and ideas without this sadistic monster going on and on about how worthless I am.

Why not join a club of some kind? Would be a great way to become more social

I used to have voices torturing me constantly too.
Went on for approximately eight years then went away.

Hope yours will go away too.

The suffering it can cause is unbearable.

Sleeping with company,like hospital stay,improves isolation,and you sleep beter…
I had a guy in my flat for 20 days,I never heard voices,and slept well …

If you are young,voices are stronger and more they stay with you,I remember being paralized all days from voices…
It became more tolerable after 43…
I’m 50 yrs now…
