Im learning that my anxiety is the biggest trigger for my psychosis so when I just sit and reassure myself its anxiety its easy to cope.

the other day I started hearing voices when anxious… nothing I could do.
its hard for me to just listen to mine because one of my says nasty things about people i see and slurs and it makes me so uncomfortable and angry and i feel guilty like its my fault even though im very against that kind of stuff

Same here. I have bad anxiety just being at home. Sometimes i sleep it off.

I use CBT methods,
They help a lot,
Really, therapy in general helps.
I also do affirmations, yoga, and some meditation.
They all have made a significant difference in my quality of life.

CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness all help me. Talking to a therapist helps me unravel delusional thoughts and understand that the voices are being created by my brain, and to treat them as such. Getting enough sleep each night is critical, or else I will lapse into florid psychosis. Exercise helps-- movement helps. I have trouble sitting still for very long. Being with my cousins who accept me and understand me helps keep me from withdrawing socially. Music–my favorite songs-- helps me. I have earbuds in most of the time so I can listen to my kind of music and distract me. Doing work helps me. Gives me something to do. Most of what I do at work involves moving around-- bussing tables, janitorial stuff.
