Voices are telling me to harm myself (tw)

After I took my migraine medication, my headache has almost vanished.
My voices are telling me this is wrong and that I deserve pain. That I should go and harm myself, and then balance will be restored.

I have a friend I usually call when I get like this, but I suspect he’s mad at me and I don’t want to antagonise him by forcing him to interact with me.
They’re telling me I deserve to have him mad at me, and that if I just do as they say, I might find peace.

I know they’re lying and I should just ignore them, but it’s hard sometimes.

I need someone to tell me the voices aren’t right. That I shouldn’t go do it.

Don’t harm yourself. Nothing good can come from it. You are a genius sorry you are going through this.

Hurting yourself won’t make anything better. Don’t listen to the voices they don’t make sense.

Hey @Pikasaur I’ve had similar things happen, d.w. I know these voice-thoughts are repetitive but they go away. Just gotta put your foot down and ground yourself in reality.

It might subconscious think she is a bad person and that she deserve pain.
A lot of people think that, especially people with schizophrenia.

You’re a good person nova

Nova please don’t listen to the voices. I have them everyday. I try to put my focus on something else. Go to crisis if you feel it’s getting too much.

The closest crisis thing is at least 20 mintes away by car, and the only way I can get there is if I either use public transportation or get my friend to drive me. He’s not responding atm, and I’m not up for riding buses and trains.

If it gets worse I guess I’ll have to, but it’s a long walk from the station.

Hey listen Nova if anyone tells you anything 1000 times a person is likely to start believing it. The most beautiful women in the world if they are told they’re not beautiful by someone consistently can end up thinking they’re not pretty. It’s just mental games. Voice-thoughts over and over again can make you doubt, but the truth never changes. It doesn’t matter how many times you call a sheep a horse it’s still a sheep. Hold on to the truth and stay busy so that you don’t hear those voices
