This. And keeping busy. I’m always busy with something. The more I’m focused on doing something the less I’m focused on voices. When I do occasionally listen, it’s so I can get a chuckle out of what I used to take seriously.
I dont have voices but I can hear myself think. Which is really thinking. I don’t think there is any other way of thinking. Also, sometimes self talk.
This is very true. When I’m at the gym, there are no voices at all. Unfortunately, they come crawling out of the woodwork when I pick up my guitar. It’s constantly challenging, but I refuse to give up
I tried meditating but it’s getting boring. I switched to no sleep deep rest (NSDR) and it made my voices louder when it should have calmed me down. I don’t get it
I’d say that making peace with your voices is the way to go. I have not had much success with this method as they always act up again but I believe in still trying at least some. I see their side of the story, my faults, which are humiliating, but I can also reason they were overly offended and took it too far, it’s not that bad.
@Jinx it sounds like you have some sense of balance. It’s good that you recognize that they are overly offensive, and focus too much on the negatives. My voices are the same
