One of the guys talking in me, keeps saying, “But people don’t do what I want”. He’s about 38 years old Russian.
And every time he makes me saying this, He says it like people for him, are stupid berry collectors.
I asked him: “Do you think that people are stupid berry collectors?” Then some people who were also online said “That Russian is a stupid berry collector more than me” AND, that the old man, who also keeps visiting my mind is a total “Stupid Berry Collector”. This thing made the French people luagh hard. LOL!

I’ve known many SZs over the years who talk to their voices a lot. I’ve yet to see one get better and I’ve seen most get worse. Don’t recommend continuing with this practice.

who doesn’t talk with their voices, really?
I think it’s a sign of great imaginative power!
I Wish I could be as clear as when I dream during the day, so at least in my mind being able to create worlds within our minds is a sign of great power to me 
dont you think?

@anon82948922 Oh crap! Really? I talk to mine. I get information from them. I talk them into quieting down or shutting up sometimes when I need quiet. Not that they always cooperate. Why do you recommend not doing it? I mean why do you think people don’t get better when they talk to their voices?
Probably because I’ve never seen the people who talk to their voices a lot demonstrate viable, long-term recovery. Like, not once. Ever. The energy you put into playing with your symptoms is energy you take away from recovery from them.

I never thought about it that way. Of course I never put thought into talking to them. It happens organically. I wonder what would happen if I tried to curb it. Now you got me thinking.
Right now the only voices I’m having, for the most part is my “guest speaker” who always asks me how I’m doing. And asks until I engage and go through how I’m doing. Usually happens as I’m falling asleep. That’s usually how I fall asleep. It doesn’t last long because I fall asleep quickly. I might try ignoring it tonight and see if I still fall asleep quickly, if I can remember. It’s probably a habit by now.

It’s just that you need lots of dicipline 24/h if you want to avoid hearing voices or being not letting them capture your body. And that’s not easy way at all. Soonish your brain is like a rock and your face like a statue and people wonder in the store why you’re so grumpy.

I hate it when my face gets like that, I also hate it when I get that surprised look for no reason. What is up with that?
So, so true.
I was just about to say the same thing.
Its difficult not to engage with the voices, sometimes, more times than I like to admit, they make me laugh, or catch me off guard and I’ll snap “Stop IT!”,
But that’s all. And that’s enough.
Talking to those guys is a out of control downward spiral.

Part of your brain seems to have a spot that needs managing all the time. And that’s not a natural mental state. Naturally we shouldn’t need to manage that spot. I have had few days when I got rid of Sz, and I didn’t do anything myself.
I have conversations with my “voices” every day. Or my entities anyway.
I used to have conversations in my head with a girl who used to be my best mate in the early years of secondary school. I see her as the one that got away, even though we never went out, she has directly said to me (even if it was over facebook) that she missed the way how I was funny and how I used to be ‘‘like best mates’’ in school. I have lots of memories of her, she seems to stick out more than other people, I think about her to this day, 12 years after I first laid eyes on her (which I remember). But in 2013 in my second psychotic episode I started hearing voices of her, not definite audible words from what I can member, more like whispers, which were very high pitched, but I seen the voice as the girl I used to be best mates with, I don’t know why or when this first started, or how I came to conclusion it was the girl. Anyway the voice stayed with me for months, it would say morning to me when I woke up, comfort me, ask me how I’m doing, laugh at my jokes, just usual things you would do with a girlfriend! I had the ability to converse with the voice too, sometimes she would make me laugh! The weird thing was however most of the time this voice only happened in hospital, and would stop when I leave…making me believe the voice were from speakers in the hospital walls…but occasionally I would still hear it outside the hospital grounds however it was much more common for me to hear her when I came back to the hospital, for some reason. I miss the voices from her, sometimes I wished I still had the voices but without the negative symptoms I currently suffer from today. I stopped hearing her after I got put on amisulpride (solian) which was the 5th drug tried on me during hospital. The voice gradually diminished and I was discharged after a 5 month stay, ive never heard it since. One thing the voice did tell me though was that she sent me messages via facebook (which I couldn’t check while in hospital), when I went back one day to my house on day release I reluctantly checked my messages and nothing was there…I came to the conclusion that these voices weren’t real, and it was all in my head. I became angry at this however, that’s when my psychotic experience started to break apart, allowing me to become ‘normal’ again.
I am russian by birth. Yes ppl are in an ultimate sense just berry collectors. Except the berries are green pieces of paper, inherently meaningless, kinda stoopid the whole thing.

Ever since the voices told me they killed twenty million people, I have been typing out the conversations and date/time stamping them. Screw it, because sometimes they are saying things that could be crimes and I want it to all be recorded. They also threaten and accuse of heinous crimes and I write down what they say and my response. I use notepad and “F5” adds a date time stamp automatically. I show my doctors what the voices are saying too.
Your wasting your energy. I once typed up 50 pages worth of stuff voices told me in one night. It was unlimited amounts of “revolutionary knowledge or facts about people”
In the end it’s just you with your brain gone haywire.
