Hearing Voices

I hear three voices and have had scitzophrenia for ten.years.They are really cruel and twisted sadistic bastards and they cause me pain aswell. They read.my thoughts and take over my thoughts controlling what they put in my head. Some days it can.be as horrific as,a horror film.in my house. I wont go into this to much just now but I will soon.

 

I'm starting to wonder whether voices are your own mind and conscious. I have voices too, yet I feel like I'm talking to myself more often than not although these "voices" are often conflicting with one another. Haven't really read into bipolar and split personality, though I don't feel like I do have a split "personality" I definitely have that conflicting conscious going on. I mean sometimes my mind is just arguing for like half an hour meanwhile I'm just taking a stroll to the shops and dunno what's really going on.

 

take your meds.


i've never actually heard any voices in my head. i am thinking in my head. which is different from hearing. i can't hear thinking. i can only hear actual speech, and other sounds emanating from the outside world. same goes for music. i can imagine a known piece of music in my head and i know what it sounds like, but when i'm recalling it, i never actually hear anything.

 

Sorry to hear that you are going through this. It sounds really horrible.

You might want to try treating this with acupuncture/traditional chinese medicine. If you've been prescribed medication, you should probably continue taking it, but you may be able to reduce your dosage over time if you are getting treated with acupuncture.

Trying to keep your stress level low might help.

Hope that things can get better soon!

 

Meditation. Learn to 'deal' with them. In that I mean to understand their circumstances. i think to often we are quick to call on the mental illness as the culprit. IMO, we need to understand the dealings and intentions of said voices. Do they have trigger points.? Do they act up more so when you are alone or with others ? Perhaps you are no different to anyone else except you exasperate the voices into their own personality. When it is just yourself struggling to sort out yourself.

Keep a journal and write what 'they' say down. Then you can look back to find reasons that this happens and too see if there is a link to your daily life, emotions and importantly your dreams.

I am not supportive of meds. I think they cause unnecessary side affects that make the understanding of these types of issues harder for the person. That is to say that if you feel suicidal or destructive then by all means med up if it helps. But try to understand the 'voices' before you just drown them away. They will always be there until you rectify the source.

I am also of the belief that we do in fact have an alternate 'us'. Meaning there is an opposite you, me, anyone. Perhaps mental illness is just in fact the other 'us' communicating
But given they are the polar opposite, we tend to not like their ideas. Again just my take, not necessarily the populous. The point is to look at it in another manner, not just in the eye of 'I have a mental disease', then just succumb to it.

No one knows what mental illness is. We still cling to the Freud explanation of sexual dysfunction or issues. Most often then none, that is not the case. I side more with the approach of Carl jung. To understand the person to understand the 'illness', not just hand over some meds and say 'see you next week'.

Journal. Write it, read it and understand it

 

you tell everyone wih anything to get needles to cure it....schiszophrenia CANNOT be cured wih acupuncture...at best you van ease some peripheral symptom or stress......just like many other more convential and more practical and more affordable practices

I have personal knowledge of this disease.....if OP is 10 years in she knows more about the meds etc than most here....

I don't read her as asking for a solution...she knows the facts.....I read her as making a statement about herself and trying to deal with this by talking to others

op...have you tried invega injection?

 

Had you spelled "schizophrenia" correctly, I might have taken your criticisms more seriously. Also, I never claimed that acupuncture would cure it.

Yes, I recommend acupuncture frequently. The World Health Organization also endorses acupuncture as a treatment for a variety of physical and mental health problems.

You may want to read Leon Hammer's book, "Dragon Rises, Red Bird Flies" to learn more about the treatment of mental health problems with traditional Chinese medicine.

Some people will argue about anything. :rollseyes:

Shellybell, if talking will help you then tell us about the voices when you're ready.

 

That sounds awful. I hope talking about it will help some.

Sometimes we don't need any advice just someone to listen.

 

Then you are in very good company:

Socrates
William Blake
Joan of Arc
Gandhi
Sigmund Freud
Charles Dickens
Winston Churchill

All heard voices......................just to name a few.......

Thanks so.much for your comments and advice. The voices are talking outside of my head and they are watching me to all the time they follow me everywhere. Because they can see me that has interfered with any normality I had as now I have no social,private or work life,also ive.missed my chance of having kids. They control my feelings and emotions sometimes so they can have me so terrified that they have made me.pee in a bucket and kneel in a cold bath and paddle like a dog,the atmosphere tends to change in the house like its a horror film.Loud banging and screaming all on my walls for hours at a time, no sleep for five nights while this was going.on and I ended up in intensive care following my attempted suicide. They cause me pain any time they like ie.migrains,vomiting scalding burning pains in my chest. There is not a day goes.by that they are.not doing something to me. But verbal abuse has stopped cos I tell them to feck off. Its been a rare treat that they have been ok since sat night with the exeption of them allowing me no sleep and meddling in.my food so im hoping they will let me have a couple of hours sleep today and that this gorgeous peace,and quiet will.last for a while longer.

 

Shelly, are you under the care of a doctor?

 

Yes I take medication for this and my depression. Im under psychiatric care and have,a nurse and support worker who I see twice a week.

 

Xenan gave some excellent advise/shared some deep wisdom there,

There was a time in my life I heard things also; but the words were not (usually) distinct. Bless you...this is a very very difficult thing you are going through.

 

spelling mistake?...don't be an asshole....did I spell asshole correctly?...

 

There’s no definitive proof this guy was hearing voices but it seems likely.

10/5/15 - PELHAM, N.H. —Pelham police said a man was arrested Saturday after he shot a gun inside his apartment.

Police responded to Nashua Road Apartments Saturday evening after someone called and said a neighbor was yelling that he "shot four people."

Police said they found Mark Schlagel, 67, sitting naked in a chair in his third floor apartment, where he believed he was shooting burglars.

Schlagel allegedly told officers that he shot four people who attempted to break into his apartment by cutting a hole in the closet wall.

Police said they found four pistols, two rifles, one shotgun, about 200 gun magazines and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition in the apartment.

All the rounds that were fired were within the walls of his apartment. Police said there were no signs of forced entry.

They can't see nor control you....YOU are in charge. What would happen if they told you to do something and you said "NO?"

I am sorry....my father went through this after my mom died, he had this issue for a little over a year. And these "voices" made him do things...painful things to himself. He finally got the courage to tell my older sister and we got him help. His was short term kind of thing...but so scary.

Sorry to hear you are going through this.

 

I used to do things they told me to do when I first started to hear them.but not now they dont ask me to.do anything they know I would tell them no. It must have bern.hard on you to see your dad ill like that im glad its better now xx
