Hey just creating this thread to talk about voices.
All kinds. Hopefully we will gain insight on our disorder from learning from other members experience with voices.

Voices are just my brain relaying stuff to me in a strange way in the form of some entity. Overactive mind

I don’t suggest we entertain and humor our delusions.
I have voices, I talk to them. I wish I couldn’t hear them though, even though it feels like their criticism is purifying to some extent, I feel like it’s overkill and I just want to be a regular human.

As long as I take my meds, my voices don’t bother me. I’m very blessed in that regard.

My voice comes from a old friend from highschool. He constantly harassing me and always sending a negative vibe.
The voice is annoying and obnoxious just like the person I believe it is coming From. Hopefully what goes around comes around.

When I first started hearing voices, I believed the voice in my head was from a lost love. I thought it was fated love. My doctor told me that there was absolutely no magic happening there. He told me it is completely random whose voice you hear. He had another patient who heard his cousin’s voice.

That’s interesting.
How do you guys cope with the voices you hear?
I try to ignore mine and try to live in the moment. I found some mindfulness meditation can help. Problem is I find that being in conversation to my internal voice in my head that my memory is not as good as it use to be. My working memory is getting better since being on clozapine. I think clozapine is causing a loss of memory. Since this has happened I try to think back on previous days/work on my memory. It’s hard cause it use to be effortless.

For those of us that hear voices how do you cope?
I hear an internal voice of an old friend. This voice is constantly harassing me. It says it’s only teasing me but 3 years non stop goes from teasing to bullying imo. So far the only thing I’ve done is text the person how I feel. But i feel he is destroying my life
@mike23 I have never confronted my voices. They are all real people. I blocked them on Facebook. I told everyone about them. (the police, I wrote a blog where I used their real names online) They never confronted me to deny hexing me or admit to speaking to me privately in my mind. Fortunately they speak to me less and less. I guess the Vraylar is working.

Hi @anon97859349 I feel my voices are real people too. I want to record them and report them to the police. They are that bad. They threaten me all the time.

I am sorry it is that bad @see121. I have definitely been there and it will probably never completely end for me. These meds are not that great and the voices always revisit me on stressful days.

With the voices I feel like normies treat them like fight club. First rule is you don’t talk about the voices. Don’t understand why though.

The only voices I ever heard were from people I knew in my life. There were times I heard a famous person but I believe it was just my friends impersonating that voice.
Fast forward 5 years and I had the voice of two friends in My head. I was able to get rid of both but it took a lot of time and I was living at home jobless at the time.
Fast forward 5 more years and I hear one voice from one of friend over five years ago. I have heard it 24/7 except when I sleep. I don’t need understand why.
The ways I cope is listening to music, reading a book . or getting out of the house to do some exercise ie going for a run/ bike ride/long walk. It helps I have schizoaffective disorder I always tell myself that the voices aren’t real and they can’t control me and make me live in fear.
Are the voice you hear from a familiar voice?
not too familiar they are random voices sometimes male /female.
