Has anyone tried simply not talking or thinking from/to a different part of the brain that is desperate from the voices work to stop hearing them?
I have been trying to not converse or simply ‘think to myself’ it have had mild success. Hearing voices still though but not as bad. I know this is a lot harder to do then say though but I am gong to keep trying until hopefully no longer conversing with my voice.
It’s hard cause anytime I send a though to the part of my brain where the voice is from it will start talking ■■■■ to me. Calling me a ‘reject’ or whatever else it can think of to bring me down.
You know at one point, in order to organize things in my head, I put the recurring voices in different little colored circles. This sort of helped to contain them. The noise stopped bleeding so much and it seems like it stopped them from talking over each other as much. It quieted things down a bit. That was before meds and before I knew that these voices were something abnormal. Anyway, something tells me when they want to speak and I look at the circles when I’m ready to listen. Some of my circles have voices and some use telepathy but they all seem to respond well to living in a circle for some reason. It’s like they are happy to have their own place.
I have a mean man in a blue circle who used to put me down and curse at me and comment on what I was doing wrong all the time. When I realized that that voice was being generated by my own brain and that basically I was the one saying all those terrible things to myself I was devastated. I couldn’t believe I was the one saying all those mean things to myself all those years. I just looked at the circle and said if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything at all. You know I hardly hear him anymore. So there is hope. It can change.
but not as bad. I know this is a lot harder to do then say though but I am gong to keep trying until hopefully no longer conversing with my voice.
