My cough is horrendous, popping the antacid pills, I think I have heart disease.

No, you wouldn’t have heart disease.

I am a sort of rumor in this town, it’s not easy.

No, nobody in this town is talking about you.

I think Dee-o-Gee has a urinary tract infection.

No, she’s just a dog, she’s fine.

I am the poorest person in this circle court.

No you’re not, this guy was out of work for 6 months.

I’m pretty sure Alec has this acid reflux too, his cough is bad.

No he doesn’t ,he’s fine.

(everything upon everything is an argument against) (and if it’s an intelligent conversation, who cares that I have a college degree and a brain)

Then stop arguing with them and stop fighting them.

what? I don’t question and refute everything they say, in fact, I just want to be on the same page.

@daze idk this is just tools that has helped me a little, why I said that. I apologize if it came off in a Vulgar manner. my voices refute things as well, lately I’ve tried to just let them fly over my head. Being clear with myself and what I really think, a lot of my voices are convictions, so the idea that there is no witnesses to these convictions, allows me to dismiss it A lot easier. It seems like the fight in my mind is futile, not resisting them or fighting them has helped. It’s a bitch living in this state of mind though.

yeah, sometimes I’m thinking everything is an insult, probably not.

Yeah I’ve dealt with very insulting perverted and evil intrusive thoughts, emotional reasoning therapy helped with it, helped me to separate my emotions from the voices, allowing me to live without having to pull out my hair 24/7. I’m still working on learning to love myself again. I tell you this illness really hard to live with.

you sound very coherent right now, does it help to focus your thoughts?

@daze I have issues with attention span and short term memory and such still. I haven’t had much success with focusing my thoughts. Thinking hard has helped me a bit.

maybe most of our illness is this over arching awareness, once we see what we have,

blessings to us that at least can recognize it.

@daze I agree, along with the kind of being your own aware doctor of your brain, some therapeutic methods has really helped me with the day to day agony of the voices and hallucinations and delusions.

I’m still working on my self hatred and self shame from these voices, and trying to learn to love myself and heal from the trauma.
