Voices telling me to quit college

Both of the voices in my head are telling me to quit all day long. It’s hard to resist. They say terrible things will happen to me if I don’t quit.

I talked to one of my professors today and he encouraged me not to quit. He said I’m one of his best students and he would hate to lose me.

I’m so afraid of the voices though.

Can you talk to your doctor? Maybe they can help. That’s what everyone tells me and I suppose they’re likely right.

please don’t quit. if you can tolerate school without a problem and get things done (minus the voices), you really need to think hard past the voices.

the voices are weak. you can tell them to buzz off.

Don’t quit. One day you’ll find something to silence the voices. In the meantime finish college.

I don’t have any advice but just wanted to say that’s awesome that he said you’re one of his best students. You should be proud!

Please don’t listen to the voices. I know what it’s like to give in to the disease and leave school. I left my doctoral program because of my sza. I think I would be finished with the program by now and would be Dr. Happy_H. Now all I can say is, “I have credits towards my doctorate.” It’s worth nothing. I really regret not staying strong and completing it. It’s not something I can easily get back into either. Don’t give up!

Are your voices coming from someone you know?

Thank you for the responses. It’s hard because the voices pressure me all day long. And when I’m doing badly in my class they laugh at me. They say “dear lord have mercy! It’s so funny!”

I’m feeling like I have to quit because the voices say they will bury me alive if I don’t quit. I’m really afraid of them.

Don’t encourage a dialog with the voices, it can only lead to a bad outcome

Your voices can’t hurt you. They’re part of your schizophrenic brain, and have no physical power.

Sometimes I hear people I know, but mostly it’s demons.

All day long the voices are telling me to quit. Both good and bad voices tell me to quit. They say “anything’s better than going to hell! So quit!” They keep saying I’m going to hell if I don’t quit.

Over and over they tell me to quit. All day long.

It’s really frustrating and annoying. I don’t want to quit!

I quit my studies 3 years ago and i still think that’s the childish and stupidest thing i have done in my life. Let the voices not overtake your life. You are strong.

The voices say they will bury me alive and create a copy of me so that no one who knows or loves me will know I’m gone!

I know this is harder said then done. But try to ignore the voices as much as possible. Nothin good has ever occurred to me from listening to mine.

No matter how many people give me good advice, I can never listen. It’s because I was given signs from God. They wrote me messages around my house. They even wrote “You go… down” with down replaced by a down arrow on my fridge.

They wrote me messages on my wall where I measured my height as a kid. At the top they wrote “This is the height you died at.”

They wrote me messages about my worst sins in my room on a piece of paper.

Yea lots of professor rather encourage you instead of putting you down, which is what the psychologist at your school will usually do if you go to them.

I just don’t feel loved. How can I feel loved?

I played a new game called The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. It made me feel somewhat better. Now that I’m done I feel bad though again.

Voices keep telling me to quit all day long. I don’t know how I can hold out. I’m really paranoid and think I’m going to hell.
