I used to have a few voices that liked to hang out at night. I also heard music pretty much constantly. I haven’t heard a peep from them since I got my medication sorted, though.

Please, comment about this experience.
I’m hearing a a lot today.
I’m hearing them right now. I gave up a few hours ago, trying to ignore them. Now I’m just going to do whatever they tell me to do. It was too agonizing to ignore them. I’m much happier now.

I’m hearing a lot of voices today. I try to ignore them also, but it has been difficult today. I’m not hearing a lot of voices lately, but today it has been too irritating, they keep talking to me, insulting me, these things, I hate them.
Try to listen to some music and see if they stop for awhile, like I’m doing right now.

I’m at work right now. I see all these numbers and letters on my screen that are forming into coded messages. It’s very confusing.
Hey guys, let’s create some tips to help us not hear these voices.
Some of my tips:
- Slow music (Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Classical, etc).
- Read.
- Meditation, with concentration in the breathing.
- Talk to me someone that understand you.
Write here your tips to overcome that situation to help all of us.

How do your voices behave?
What kinds of subjects do they tell you?
When I would have trouble falling asleep because of the voices, I would play an audiobook. Hearing a real voice talking all night helped me drown out the other ones. I imagine a television would work as well.

they tell me i’m worthless, fat, or ugly. they tell me other ppl are possessed and tell me to look in their eyes and i’ll see it’s true. i looked in someones eyes and it looks like they’re right. they say random things like your dog is going to kill you in your sleep or the government is monitoring you. i love my dog. they say i’m spinning i should stop shaking my leg i would be stronger if i ate eggs random things. the stuff that bothers me is when they put images in my head of ppl being stabbed or head cut off or baby wrapped in a blanket and tossed to the side of the road or ppls faces becoming distorted into demented things. i don’t like when they cut down on me either. i’m just goign to listen and be a good boy and they won’t be so mean.
i’m listening to the bob marley channel on pandora right now. that’s helping a little
it makes me feel like i’m at the beach or on a cruise or something. a getaway

I’m sorry you’re struggling so much right now @johnny5. I hope it gets better for you. Is this a common occurrence for you, or are they worse than usual right now?

Are there times when the voices stop once in a while?
I’m at work. It’s usually worse while I’m at work. The stress of the job gets to me. I work in engineering and deadlines really hurt my ability to function. Music helps. Sunshine helps. Medication helps. I am having a harder time lately because I have to take my kids to hockey games and what not and being around all those ppl shouting at the kids or cheering them on just gets me on edge. As a residual effect I usually have a hard time functioning. I don’t like being forced into those situations but I don’t want to not take them to hockey. I want them to have a good fun life even tho it isn’t the best for my health. Hockey only has 3 more weeks. I can’t blame it all on hockey either tho. I’m just not in a great place right now. I go through periods of distress that aren’t really dependent on my environment. My voices tend to leave me alone when I’m around my wife. She has always been a person who I can turn to when I’m not doing so great. It’s a lot of pressure to put on her tho. I text her a dozen times during the workday of my ongoings. I try to employ methods to get thru the day like things I’ve learned in CBT therapy, music, these message boards. Soon this period I’m in now will pass and my voices won’t be so bothersome. I really like those times. I can feel like a normal person I think.

I think that’s an interesting thing I learned here, that not everyone gets voices or even hallucinations.
My voices are all classified as “thought insertion” because they aren’t auditory, they’re telepathic. But I have heard audible voices at times in my life, more so when I was young, pretty much never get auditory hallucinations anymore.
Ancient heroes, and demons. Sometimes Angels.
demons and angels both mock me but it’s only funny when the angels do it. The ancient heroes are always there with advice usually.
I hear the voice of a woman most often. I rarely hear voices. For the past three days I’ve been hearing her in a conversation. Sometimes I’m mentioned in the conversation. It sounds incredibly real.
I hear the voices of people I used to be friends with while I went to high school among others that I worked with as well as hung out with later on in my life. I was first diagnosed a couple of months after I finished high school and actually cut off all contact with all of my high school friends due to what I was going through. In fact, everything I was experiencing was 100% real to me even when I was on medication the whole time except for recently. I had/have the delusion that everyone on the planet is listening to my thoughts and are also talking to me. I mainly hear the same group of people talking to me and we basically quarrel all day long. It’s like we are in a mental war over who is more of a loser, me or them. They act like they want to help me but I haven’t lived a good enough life to deserve their help. I find myself always wanting their approval so they can allow me into heaven when I die instead of ending up in hell. I’m not even religious but I do find myself wanting to find the “right” religion. It’s an ongoing battle and I just have to try to tell myself it’s not real all the time. I tend to feel like people are talking about me or to me in public out loud without actually acknowledging me so it’s kinda tough to tell yourself it’s not real. Other than that I function, I have a job and live day by day without anyone seemingly noticing this is going on with me.
