I’m sick of the ones I have, they are from eight years ago. I want new “friends” ones with better things so say, but I can’t because I can’t change what that is. How to influence it? They are all one, we are all one, bend the fragments into different forms.

When I hear about people having relationships with their voices, I sometimes feel like I don’t have the cool kind of sz. I’m partially joking. But yeah I think that sometimes
@Keithophrenia, have you had Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? All I know is that before CBT I was only horrified by the aggressive monster that constantly berated and threatened me, encouraging me to hurt myself. After CBT, that same monster has a purpose for me. “He” is a guardian, believe it or not, and my constant companion. He’s a guardian angel. He still attacks me and tells me to cut myself up sometimes, but I resist, and those times pass. So much more of my relationship is actually positive or benign now.

I’m not sure what that is. I guess that means I haven’t had it. I haven’t had much in the way of treatment as far as I’m concerned. I get hospitalized, virtually ignored, medicated, and the staff mainly communicates with my family. I hear people talking about their therapists and I sit here and wonder what therapy must be like.
I’m surprised you haven’t been given some sort of therapy and am sorry that you haven’t, but never too ate to look into it!

My insurance doesn’t cover it at the main mental hospital in my area. I recently got on Medicare. I’m probably going to deny part B though. I need all the $ I can get unfortunately. Maybe one day

Roger that. Psychosis for me is pretty terrifying. I’ve never understood it when people say they miss their voices.

I pick one up at the “Imaginary Friend 4U store.” Known locally as "iFriend u."
They take offer new, used, and trade in iFriends when your ready to have the experience.
There are books as well. I know how you feel right now though. I live in an area where quality mental health services are, well non-existent to me. My insurance only covers if I want to drive 40+ minutes on congested freeways. I’m not in therapy right now and I need to find a way to get back to it. I wish you well @Keithophrenia!

This is disgusting. (Sorry, I have to tell how I feel now) Rather than welcoming new voice, you can learn how to agree and disagree with the voice(s).
