There are a lot of mysterious things about life. What my voices have said are some of the strangest things I’ve heard and some of my "hallucinations’ have been difficult to write off. However even if there is something real to my hallucinations I have to admit no one will treat me as though what I don’t say out loud or do in reality will ever count in reality. I have never been punished for any thoughts I didn’t say out loud. I have never been rejected for something that was an hallucination. What has harmed me about the voices is when I have done something stupid in response to something they made me believe as true. We can have thoughts and fantasies that we never act on or beliefs we never tell because society tells us not too. So you never know. Someone may have a thought we heard that they never intend to act upon. Plus maybe just maybe such a communication as the ones we have with our voices can be so dangerous that normal society doesn’t find it in its best interests to act on them and schizophrenics just don’t receive the memo or someone didn’t want us too. So my hallucinations are really there to scare me rather than do actual harm unless I act on them. I also think many horror movies and science fiction stories should not be things we read because i don’t think our minds can handle it.
I guess what I would fear more is an unmedicated sz.
I know where you’re coming from. I’m able to say the voices and visions are hallucinations but haven’t gotten to the point where I believe the demon isn’t real. It took me three years to realize he can’t hurt me. Sz is a long journey

Try to get the demon to tell you he isn’t real. He probably won’t want to but if you teach him he might do it. Alternatives could be “only in your mind” “in a game” ect
I can relate… especially the part about the scary/horror movies.
Thanks but he just laughs at me and tells me he’s king of all demons. Therapy is helping though like refer to the demon as an it. ️
@SunGirl @Anna Ask him if he knows Gödel’s incompleteness theorem. It basically implies that a system cannot contain everything because it cannot contain its self. And if it did then contain its self then it would not then contain its self again. Propose if he is king of the demons then he is incomplete and therefore not all powerful.
This got my voices to admit it was not real and all a game
My voices used to say “it’s everything but nothing at all”. Sounds sort of similar in a way.
Hey says he’s not the king of all demons but he says demons aren’t bound by the same physical limitations thus rendering the statement meaningless
Shucks I was hopeful
