What do I do to make these voices stop abusing me? These voices don’t know me, they don’t know a thing about me, they’re not my friends–they just pretend to be sometimes so they can manipulate me, like good cop bad cop routines. Mostly they’re bad cop – vicious, cruel, awful, vile, unbelievably wrong to me. I’m tired of it. They don’t believe anything I tell them, they undermine me at every step and every word, they lie, they make up false rumors about me, they assume the worst at every ■■■■■■■ turn and every ■■■■■■■ point no matter how trivial or minor. I’m sick of it. You don’t even know what the ■■■■ you’re talking about, excuse my language. You don’t know me!! If I sound crazy it’s because you’re driving me crazy!!
I don’t want to fight with you anymore. What can I do to make you chill tf out. I am doing the ■■■■■■■ best I can. What do you want, me to just curl up and die? That isn’t going to happen. So let’s figure out a way to coexist. Because that is your only option.
Ignore the voice. Move on without responding to it. Let the voice be there but not respond to it. If it appear so appealing, tempting to respond laugh at yourself for believing it as real and simply not respond to it.
Upping the AP dose is not a permanent solution as you can develop tolerance to it and require more and more dose to get same effect also APs can carry several side effects in the long run so better learn to live with it. It only becomes a problem if you start believing in it, responding to it. Consider it like some barking dog, crow sound etc. You can re tune the voice in some mickey mouse voice to make it so unappealing, funny. Can add some circus music to it etc.
Iv tried to make a truce with my voices but they said no we want you in hell suffering and I asked what else they wanted from me and they said that and humiliation in the after life no second chances no mercy no talking it out just your gonna suffer for smoking cigs and that’s it they used to give me chances but told me I would still go to hell and get worse than bullet ants for 30 years with no brakes now they say it’s for ever and the pain Is worse then all the pain ever felt constantly with the worse madness bad drug trip and being the most uncomfortable person ever
I was in your shoes for awhile, I finally found medicine to help and most days my voices are nice and not mean. I was taking an antidepressant which aggravated the mean voice but we removed it and now I’m doing better. I know it’s torture but you gotta keep trying different medicine combos, one day you might get some relief and it will all be worth it.
Remember, no matter how mean and horrid the voice is, it’s just your brain misfiring and making noise without input. Try to treat it like static or interference.
Believing what they say is a separate symptom (delusion). Once you stop believing what they say, they have a lot less power over you.
I have gotten so upset with their bullying that I told them, if they were real and I ever met them I’d torture them for what they’ve done to me. But then I have to step back and remind myself that they’re not real people so there’s really no one to get angry at.
If a real person followed me all day talking to me and insulting me non stop I’d have them thrown in jail, but sadly you can’t do that if it’s just a voice.
Actually the voices are yours only. If it appear bad like you going to hell for cigs etc then it shows some part of your mind warning you to stop cigs, to help you lead a good life. Some time it can be bad just like we get occasional nightmares in dreams, here too its due to fear, guilt of something etc. Try to improve your life, reducing bad habits, doing productive things, not holding anger to anyone including to self and see if the content of voices changing.
Mine used to be bad. Ive worked with them for years and now they are nice to me. I think the key was that i asked them to be honest with me. They lied a lot after that but eventually the honesty came. You’ve got the right attitude. Do your worst is what it takes. Over time youre situation will improve. Best of luck to you.
They are determined to deliberately misinterpret anything I say, think, or do in a negative light because they are pathetic. They’ll put words in my mouth, outright lie about me, and say things that bear no relationship to reality—just their obsessed reality that they construct from scant evidence like a conspiracy theory for everything that I am.
Yes be brave and fight against it rather than fall victim for it. Just like there is bad people in this world so is bad thoughts and voices. So face it bravely. I have a quote for you.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
