Can’t believe that I can’t think to myself no more. I mean every time I try to speak back to the voices I get a zero inner voice in my side.
Do you view this as a gain or a loss?
definitely a loss man I think that its freaking horrible that I can’t hear myself think anymore.
well, do you hear nothing when the voices are talking only or whenever you try to think inner thoughts? In Zen, a state of no-mind(no thoughts) is seen as height of meditation success and a good way to deal with adversity.

I hear nothing from my side when they are conversing. so then zen must be confused because I miss my inner voice and I can’t live without it.
Actually, I’ve found that maintaining a purely watchful or aware state when undergoing psychosis is one of the best technqiues I have for safely getting through it. I discovered it when I told myself one day that I would try to meditate during one.
I had been doing meditation for about a month so was familiar with the process. When I did, the voices became stronger and more powerful in my head — but I just watched. There were physical effects too. Like gut constriction and difficulty breathing. But I knew they couldnt harm me by stopping breathing because no matter how long my breath was stopped, I would become unconscious and autostart breathing again. What I got at the end of that psychosis was amazing…extreme joy! It worked for me, maybe it can work for you…
