yea meds for me helped… they made the voices go away. what the best is to deal with the symptom i’m not sure but i always tried to drown the voices away with keeping my mind busy with all sorts of things so that i didn’t have so much time to listen to them.

Normies will often tell schizophreniacs to “simply ignore the voices”. Anyone with a mildly severe case know that it is not easy.
In truly severe cases the only option I believe is medication. A victim cannot be relied on to, as they say, “just do it”.
I myself only managed to avoid “punishments” or prevent myself from drastic reactions by self-brainwashing. Alternatively one may call it grounding exercises. What I did exactly is constantly, every dozen minutes, tell myself that my visions are not real. They look real, they sound real, they feel real, but this is all just my imagination. It is an illness, like tuberculosis or broken arm. I told myself that again and again, drilling this notion into my head. Eventually I did a little “ritual” by making a likeness of my main “tormentor” in a video game, and then killing that character in the game. But that was much after I managed to convince myself in anything.
Honestly, there is no solution. It all boils down to whether an individual’s willpower is greater than the severity of their illness.

this helped me alot
i ll imagine them imaginary creatures
My main voice stopped punishing me. So basically I no longer have those problems. I don’t know what to advise, just wait it out, I guess.
