Can’t take my new med until 8:00 tonight at the earliest. Starting to really feel the effects of no antipsychotic. Feel like a junkie waiting for my fix. The voices are back and I just want them to go away

Have you tried telling the voices to go away? If that doesn’t work, can you do something to distract yourself? Maybe read a book, take a bath, watch a movie, immerse yourself in the forum, research something online, listen to music, bake, or write in a journal just to name a few ideas.

I haven’t tried telling them to go away. I’ll try that. On the way to take my dog for a check-up but going to relax when I get home. Thank you so much for the suggestions.

Being aware of your state of mind is half the battle. You’re present and asking for guidance which is awesome. I hope you gain some peace from these good wishes and I send my support too. You’re going to be ok

I hope this isn’t dangerous but it works for me. I try to analyze the voices. Where they’re coming from, what they’re resonating off of, if there’s a presence nearby. I search beyond what I am simply hearing, and try to prove that they are not real. Listen hard, listen beyond the voices. Can you see any evidence of them beyond what you are specifically hearing? Can you see that they are not really there?
Let the doubt of their existence simmer within your mind. Keep searching. Can you see that there is nothing there? Let the doubt build. They’re scary sometimes, but they’re dead, powerless over your reality. When you feel the doubt peak, then loudly say, “you’re not real!” You don’t have to say it out loud if you don’t want to, it’ll have the same impact.
Anyways that’s what works for me. I hope it works for you but I’m a little weird so it might not. But if it’s not dangerous for you I hope it’ll help you expel those voices a little easier if only for a little while

Thanks everyone! 50 more minutes. I almost made it through. My step kids are watching my daughter for me at the moment so I can calm down. I am doing okay just anxiety threw the roof. Oh just remembered I haven’t took any vistaril today so I can take one now. Hope it helps some.
