My job is cashiering at a gas station, I still have symptoms and it can be exhausting. With the voices and thought broadcasting â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– . :crying_cat_face:

I have worked… the voices arent that bad… annoying for sure… its the “messages” these silent thought forms like subtitles without words I see/experience when I look at or hear and sometimes just think of people(although that last one typically triggers more traditional voices)

Yea, I know about the thinking of people one. I would think about my probation officer, out of paranoia. And that ladies voice haunted me!

My issue is white noise voices and that my brain creates a voice for people. The telepathy, like I just had a customer and she said “I’m not ■■■■■■■ with you.” That’s what I herd… And it was totally in a voice tone she would have. EXHAUSTING ok I’ll shut up about it now.

My voices usually talk to each other or they just calmly say my name. Only once have they gotten mean to me. My problem is negative symptoms and paranoia and delusions.

I don’t hear voices but I can’t work because of negative symptoms. I mainly suffer from negative symptoms, low self-esteem, anxiety, cognitive problems, and delusions. I’m also lazy.

Do you ever feel like if you tell professionals this they’re thinking no one is really lazy, this can be worked with? I’m afraid to say I suffer so much from negative symptoms, but I do.

I agree. I’m not afraid about saying I have negative symptoms. I tell her all the time. It’s my biggest complaint. I believe they’re caused by medications. But I need to take them or I get positive symptoms and anxiety. There’s not much they can do to help besides therapy, that’s why I take supplements, smoke, and drink coffee.
