For me meds transformed these voices into less violent voices.
Nothing. Laugh at them tell em f y.
That is great to hear. Iâm starting on a new med.
I once listen to the voices cuz they said they where gonna give me eternal life but they said I failed them and gonna get eternally tortured instead
I dont think any of their tests where possible
I tried for days strait
Theyâre impossible for me too.
Once they told me to escape mental hospital and throw myself from a bridge. Security guards prevented me from going out of mental hospital.
How can I get what they say if I die?
Its impossible.
They tell me that their Gods and itâs the greatest feeling to make fun of people
I canât believe how similar your experiences are to mine. They told me to escape from a mental hospital tooâand I did! I threw myself against the ground so hard that they had to take me to the physical hospital. On an xray they found a damaged rib. The voices tried to get me to then escape from that hospital, since the security was more laxâbut I chickened out. Amazing how similar your stories are.
my experience is that the voices are generally just yourown thought with a judgemental belief filtering them. for instance try to listen âbeneathâ the voices and see if you hear something different.
for instance the voice might be saying âI love youâ but your fear of it might be filtering it into something crazy. I think they start with self judgement or believing others judgement of you. if you judge yourself than who is judging you? it crrates a belief in a split persinality which is pretty accurate imo for hearing voices. any thought you are hearing in your head is you not ET or âgodâ or the âdevilâ but generally the theme of the voice probably alludes to the origin. a judgemental parent or a belief system in âevilâ or whatever. all beliefs that keep.voices there arw in my experience untrue. which means they can be resolved back into normal thought.
also assiging attributes to the voices or adding to them seems unhelpful to me. trying to get the fear thought energy trauma or whatever that is feeding them to go down seems helpful. its like weakening strengthening. anything that feeds them seems unhelpful. anything that gives them less âfuelâ seems helpful for getting them back to normal thought. when they downcycle all the way it will be your normal thought again.
Very insightful and helpful words, @rbert. Thank you so much.
thanks. I have got voices back to normal thought without the âfilteringâ and it is the weirdest thing ever. its like for me at least hearing something very distorted by a filtering and the filtering in my experience always seems to be a belief about ourself maybe that we are not good enough or something like that generally a put down. the other problem I ran into is getting the energy to downcycle. the energy seems to keep the voices cycling. so I worked out sending the fear they were giving me to my stomach as nervousness rather than back to the âvoiceâ which was making it worse. and also not being scared of them anymore and whatever idea they represent but not fighting them either. not giving any reality to them seems best. they are in my experience just a confused part of our mind we somehow told to think it was someone else. an obvious example in my opinion would be âpr@yingâ for example. what is a pr@yer going to do but tell your mind its someone else and to be someone else if that makes sense. also getting any trauma out that is keeping them that way was very helpful for me. cry as much as you can in my opinion. if can ever get to a point where there are no more repressed sadness that would most likely help. I also try to cry out the pain that was beneath the voice if that makes sense or supporting it. helped a lot.
What about with voices that sound like they could be real, e.g.: what sounds like the neighbors when Iâm sitting on my balcony?
Good advice. Not being scared of them and not giving any reality to them are good goals to have. Good idea to send the fear to the stomach. Never thought of that, but it sounds like it would help.
I hear my neighbor laughing at me while sitting on my patio.
And whispering words under her breath at me
Maybe itâs our upbringing with twisted, mixed messages. It seems sz are sensitive and naiv to the environment. I am easy in trust and forgiveness. Weak to say it blandly. And it mirrors in form of crazy voices in my head. I donât know, I can speak only as I experience it. Sometimes i am confident enough to speak up to my voices, but most of the time i am alone with them.
I resigned to my voices and i am a piece of s#it left behind the tree. Sometimes
I get super anxious going outside to have a cigarette, cuz my neighbors are always harassing me.
One time one of my neighbors started yelling at me (I dont know why), really strange.
