If I ignore them they tend to stop for awhile. If I talk back they keep going.

If I ignore the voices or speak to them it makes no difference. If Alien wants to talk to me he will talk and if he fades away it’s usually when I distract myself with music or reading or TV or talking with someone

Interestingly I have actually never ignored my voices. Felt too scared to. It will be a big achievement if I can ignore them without feeling scared of the consequences

Good thread BTW

They try to make me feel scared of what’s gonna happen but I dont believe them what else do they make you afraid of them make me feel afraid of smoking eating and going to the bathroom

When I am not doing well, particularly when I was off meds, ignoring the voices could be very very difficult and at times felt impossible, they were just so loud and clear in my head. And they’d say such inflammatory things.

However on meds they are fairly easy to ignore. I don’t get them often and when I do they are typically “far away” or “muffled”. For me it is much better to ignore my voices and not get into it with them. It only ends up with me being upset and usually abused.

Yeah my voices keep saying that their gonna torture me with raping dogs and water and a giant shredder that I saw one day when I was realy scared

Mine would say stuff like how I was destined to be one of the devil’s whores and they were going to drag me down to hell with them. That I was Satan’s property and all kinds of stressful crap.

Yeah they say iam a robot and they control all my thoughts and actions and if I dont brake free in time they will torture me they say they are gonna torture me for cigs and food any ways I could never win with them nothing is ever good enuf and they say iam the weakest being to ever exist

They set me all kinds of tasks with saving the world in order to be saved from being taken to hell. Such as making a scientific discovery for slowing ageing or living forever, such as being the ideal partner for the voice in my head by looking perfect and acting perfect ie, being confident, which is hard to be in love with him when he has the power to send me to hell if I don’t act and look perfect.

Nowadays, I don’t have any problems ignoring the voices, because they’re so muffled.
I think the change came when I realised my brain was just playing tricks on me, preying on my fears, and that they hold no real power.

Nothing bad is going to happen if you don’t obey the voices. The voices can’t do anything to you.
I held a meeting in my head where I sat them down and told them “You guys are here too, and I respect that, but let’s make one thing clear. It’s MY body and I’M in charge. You can make suggestions, but I have the final say.”

I started ignoring them when I realised they talked utter crap, very rarely one of them will say something of value

aknowledging them all as your own thought seems to help a lot. getting out of agreement with delusional even fringe ideas about life and yourself seems to help a lot. not believing anything seems to help a lot. skeptic not believer helps a lot.
