Hi there, hope you are coping as well as could be expected, within my experience of the ‘voices’ this is how it appears to work,

  1. They will use or say anything in order to gain a response, it could be nonsense, or it could be a little more troubling. The best thing to do is never engage or enter into conversations with them as it will turn on you.
  2. In short, like with trolling online, the ‘voices’ get gratification and pleasure from it, Think of it like cyber mobbing or Molka, and never blame yourself, as you are the unwitting victim.

Hi @BigBlue. Thank you for your clear and helpful reply. You’re right that it always turns on me when I try to engage in conversations with them. I always think I can make them agree with me, but they always come up with a cruel reply that I never would have expected.

Hi, I know what you mean by the above statement, you are describing a tactic called Bait &Switch.

Yes, sometimes they do seem to agree with me at first, and then 5 minutes later they call me a sucker for believing them.

It’s a big question I’d like to know too. Did a thread on this aswell.

It’s to do with it being an illness and illnesses make u feel bad hence the insults etc, but I’d like to know further

I’ve always noticed my thoughts will bring me up just to drop me down.

So I stay down. It’s easier that way.

IMO.

They used to be nice and pretend to be my guardian angel

They told me they give me power to make miracles and to kill myself because I am immortal and will go to heaven. I listened to them and tried to kill myself, I ended up vomitting in the hospital from overdosage of Tylenol.

Mine used to be nice at least 25 percent of the time. Now if they are ever nice they tell me I’m a sucker for believing them.

Sorry to hear that. That’s awful.

Should we all just start ignoring these voices? I’m at a complete loss for what to do. Whether to trust them. Whether to do crazy, self endangering things.

I don’t think we can trust them at all. Mine tell me to do violent things, and I can’t obey them. They didn’t used to be violent, so I guess you never know what the voices will turn into.
