I just try to tune them out. It doesn’t always work, but I don’t know what else I could do

Yea I don’t even bother I ignore them period and my will is so strong they do as I say but at some point I understand I have to be thankful for having them because if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have gotten this far. I don’t use meds. Good luck!

Mine right now is telling me to bite my finger off. It’s hard to listen to but I mostly try to not do what it says and I take extra meds when they get bad. I’m not very good at dealing with them. I get a lot of commands and usually do what they tell me to unless it’s illegal. Like, over Thanksgiving/Christmas I had a persistent voice tell me to kill my sister. Luckily she lives across the country, but it was persistent enough that I’m not sure I could have resisted if she lived closer. That voice is the reason I’m on the shot now, so I could take a higher dose.

My voice insists on killing my mother. It’s absurd. My relationship withy mother is very good.

My voices are either very faint, incomprehensible mumbling or faint strains of music. Both of which I can just ignore and they soon go away. I am very blessed.

I learned to talk to myself, that way I wasn’t listening to my voices. basically I would talk about my history past lives theories about life stuff like that. if I didn’t have much to say I would repeat the previous days talking points. that’s what I found to be effective

I’ve been drinking a gallon of ionized 9.5-10 pH water a day for the past week and a half, and the voices have been fading away. I barely hear them now. Hopefully I don’t plateau in healing progress until I’m 80-100% functional.

The main thing i did was promotion of insight through cbt, so my subconscious recognized its part of the illness. Also having little affirmations to use against any put downs or commands.
