They absolutely persecute me all day long when I would never do that to myself. Is that normal for voices?

The oxidative stress and damage that manifests the voices are constant and relentless.

I think it’s the usual for paranoid schizophrenia

It’s awful that you get them all day though
I know each time I used to get unwell they were hours at a time every day
But when I’m well it’s usually 5 or 10 minutes a few times a day
Some have voices so much more than others as their norm

Yes, mine are generally every few seconds or with every thought I have that I’m aware of having. I usually get a few 5 or 10 minute breaks a day too. Mine sometimes even give me compliments and then 5 minutes later call me a sucker for believing them.

I relate to every second every thought near the start of my illness
Are you quite newly diagnosed?
Or close to the end of a recent episode?
I hope it gets less, mine did, I even go full days without now but that is not the usual for me
Some people get it all the time though
I hope they get less with time
You know seem to have it as background largely loud enough but background
If you are suffering this without believing it good for you
I understand that fight

I was never diagnosed with schizophrenia but was diagnosed with psychosis about 8 years ago. I’ve had the voices for over 9 years. Unfortunately, they’ve only gotten worse. I hope they start to go away in the future. Thanks for giving me hope that they might get better.
Maybe change your mood, your readings, your people around you. I usually have positive voices or at least random/neutral

You’re so lucky to have positive or neutral voices. Were they always positive or neutral?

Sometimes I hear Lucifer and demons but they don’t last long. The good prevails.

Yea when my voices turned bad I don’t remember them having anything nice to say or make me feel. They were like look u can avoid hell if you save the world. But I could not do that with them in my mind because they didn’t have faith in me and they didn’t even like me and I was meant to be their romantic partner according to his energy map. It was all messed up.

My thoughts are bad, but the voices are hear are downright ruthless and cruel. I take some solace that there are good people in the world who aren’t so cold and ruthless.

I had one positive voice
It said
‘You’re doing okay”
Just as I was going asleep
It was a nurse in the hall when I was in hospital

I feel the same as you. My thoughts are bad, but the voices are downright ruthless and cruel. I agree that it’s comforting knowing there are people in the world who aren’t so cold and ruthless.

my voices do my head in all the time…nothing really relieves the situation…what do your voices persecute you about?

They mostly persecute me about my thoughts or about paying attention to them or communicating with them. They have a rule that I’m supposed to ignore them.
