They’re hitting me really badly right now. They’re telling me to eat spiders and I’m crying.
I hate this.
Yes,i take meds. They just arent working right now.
And yes,I’ll tell my doctor.
I just need help right NOW.
Please. Anything. Thanks.
I acknowledge my voices by telling them I hear but that I won’t do what they say. (I have one main voice who can be cruel sometimes) Shut-up doesn’t work during really intense attacks, so I try to bring the intensity down by staying calm. I acknowledge, deny and move on by finding something to do. Listen to music, go for a walk…
Remember that the voices have no power, and the attacks always pass.

Sorry that’s happening to you 
I’ve only heard voices outside of my head once or twice, and it were only small words or sentences, but I heard a lot of people hear music loudly so that they don’t have to hear them. Maybe that’ll work?
When they get you to panic, it only makes them more likely to occur. Right now you have to focus on ways to calm down. If you can, do a simple task with a lot of easy steps. Start a load of laundry or bake some cookies. If you can’t concentrate on that, try putting an ice pack on the back of your head and taking several calming breaths. The ice pack will cool your overheated brain and slow activity. The deep breaths are a way to flood your body with much-needed oxygen.

I get different symptoms to you. But you need to try and close off that part of yourself. I’m sorry to say but you need to live with it. Grow a thick skin and tell them to ■■■■ off when they tell you to eat spiders. You need to grow a thick skin and grow up fast. This is my advice for when Meds don’t work.
I tell them that I love them, because love is more powerful than hate and I don’t want to hate. I also tell them to stop Mork Marking me - that’s a vocabulary I’ve created.
