Hi everyone. I went a saw a psychologist years ago and he told me about keeping the voices in the background and remaining focused on what you are doing kind of like a camera. I am now able to think about other things I would rather think about other than remaining focused on the things the voices want me to be focused on. for example if the voices are being bad to me or attacking me verbally or causing me emotional pain I put my thoughts elsewhere so that I am not concentrating on their negativity kind of like meditation. Hope this may help anyone who is reading it takes practice but I think it will benefit in the long run.

I actually do believe they are real that they are spirits but its my way of dealing with a spiritual issue that religion hasn’t really help with. I know a lot of people who say they are spirits including meeting someone in a mental health job who deals with his spirits/in a cultural way.
Hello,
This is a great point. I dealt with this struggle today while being transported to an appointment. My voices kept telling me f you. It’s like the more I focus on them the more they keep going on about it. The moment I can relax and take my mind off of them they be quiet. And then for some messed up reason their image appears to me and the cycle starts all over again. I just cuss back at them in my mind and tell the to be f ing quiet.

sounds like you might be making progress. Its better not to reply to them in my opinion even if it is in your head. They are not even worth your time.
I just hope you don’t believe what they say wen they attack you emotionally
