I hear voices a lot. I’m not that smart but I make up for it with creativity and imagination. Sometimes I feel like my voices are long and have images to go with them. If I start hearing voices about terrorist then I start hallucinating the voices with images or shapes of terrorists that are created. What helps me is sleep, my niacin, arguing or talking to the voices and thinking of them as noise or what noise looks and sounds like.
2 solid years and then they finally let up. They are still there but it’s totally different. Merely background noise when I’m alone or around low frequency sounds. Like running air conditioners. Really doesn’t bother me anymore. When I do think about it though I want them to go away entirely just so I know I’m having a normal experience.
try and ignore the voices, i know it is hard, but it is possible…i have been doing this way too long…
since a kid…and now in late forties.
know someone cares.
take care

I’ve had voices every day for five years now. Don’t listen to them. Try ignoring them. If I focus on the voices they suck me in and I’m stuck in the conversations. Also when voices gain power they will take you over. Command you to do stuff, harrassing you, threaten you. Don’t believe them. They can’t harm you. Only scare you.
I hear them quite often. At first they weren’t so bad, they just commented on what I was doing. Kinda like a totally neutral third person narrative of my life. But then it got worse and worse, commanding me to do things, constantly belittling me. Medicine doesn’t help at all, only thing that helps is if I ignore them, easier said than done though of course.
about 14 years now i think. same old ■■■■ day in day out. sometimes i’ll get quiet periods for up to four months i think was the longest time, then omnipresent for a few months, then a little less busy…no med i have tried does anything for them. try and not get yourself wrapped up in what they say to you and try not to answer back. they will come out with all manner of ■■■■ just to get you to react. try not to. voices on their own can’t hurt you no matter what they threaten. they are just your brain coming up with derogatory crap is all. just try and cope as best you can. sometimes it’s not easy but if you try hard enough you can deal with them quite effectively. good luck.

I hear voices for about 15 years. They come and go every 6 to 18 months. It’s spooky as nobody believes or hear them. It like a higher power from judgement day. I think they (could be gods) like me because I am entertaining to them. I always ask them who they are and where they come from. I think next time when they come they will tell me.
(Maybe the voices come from the world of the death and want to draw me into their world.)
It’s mysterious. Maybe I should pray to get an
answer. Why do they pick me?
I’m up to 250mg of Seroquel and it appears to help considerably with voices. When I’m stressed & have an exacerbation of my symptoms I’ll hear them like background noises or talk radio playing in the background or occasionally a clear voice (usually a male) swearing at me, but the medication has helped considerably.
I had command hallucinations most of my life & the meds have helped with this as well.
I was diagnosed over 10 years ago but never really heard voices except for an occasional female voice that would say my name and in rare cases other things, all positive.
But then over the past two years it was like all hell ascended on me with all it’s fury. The voices were both auditory whispers as well as what I would describe as someone thinking in my head. I don’t want to go into detail, but this last run I had a voice talking non-stop in my head for months. 24/7…voice was like an auctioneer…talked that fast. It made no sense, in fact it mostly just contradicted everything it said. I couldn’t ignore it either because after not being able to sleep for months I had no mind of my own left. At one point I remember driving around town going back and forth and all over the place with my fathers voice as if coming out of my mouth just spewing out sexual expletives at everyone.
I lived and suffered with this non-stop voice until one day I was in the shower because strangely it was the only place I felt comfortable and I heard a voice say “No one touches him until I get him” And the voice (and gradually voices) went away. Been free of it since other than rare comments I just ignore.

Hi, @Airelle77. Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.
Thanks,
