Hey Gail here, so many of us at one point in time or continuously since a certain age have been experiencing hearing voices and asking ourselves if others really are hearing us. We want to believe family, friends and the doctors tell us it's just mental illness (bipolar, schiz), so they stick us on meds and infacst most of us just sleep better and achieve a better mood but guess what the voices were still there, weren't they. We try to accept the fact that they are reading our thoughts and maybe if we were a little quiet they wouldn't hear us so much, but no one will prove it to us they show no signs or signals that they hear us ( well most of them) to convince us this is all true. So let us all pretend for just a moment that it's real. Why are we experiencing this? Why are others different than us? We seem to be on the outside and they on the inside looking at and judging us. Do all have the ability? Is this our time to awaken?? What do u guys have to say?

Gail,

I heard voices for years. To me they were real. Nobody else could hear them but me. I felt like the read my mind. I tried meds..almost all that are on the market..to be honest none worked to take the voices away. I had a drug and alcohol habit. Someone suggested that maybe I am addicted to voices. Then about three years ago I decided to treat the voices as an addiction. Whenever a voice would enter my thoughts I would "push it out" the same way I would push away the thoughts to use. I denied access to the voices. I denied the space in my mind. Once I began "pushing" they started to disappear. It was a long slow process. (Notice all the past tense words). Now voices are not a problem. I have overcome them and won. I hope that you can find a way to stop your voices...my best advice is to never ever give up trying.

Take care,

David

Hi Gail,

I"m lucky I haven't heard voices, I hear they can be terrifying especially command voices telling a person to harm herself or another person. A lot of people with SZ do struggle with hearing voices. Some people listen to loud music, others like David who responded to you have their own coping techniques. One woman actually talks to her voices when she's in her house.

I look forward to your contributions here. Thank you for writing in.

Regards,

Christina

Hey Gail,

I get voices. They are the loud paranoid command voices. I don't have them right now. But if I want them back, I can stop taking my Geodon (an atypical anti-psychotic). They come back in about a week after I stop taking this med. I've learned this lesson. This is the med that stops the voices for me. Zyprexa works too, but I gain too much weight on Zyprexa so I switched.

These drugs are true miracle drugs and a big thanks to all the researchers who discovered them.

For me, the loud paranoid command voices are like a huge nightmare. Only you are awake. I would be stupid to stop taking my meds.
