Hello CG,
Welcome to the Connection!
Alas, I haven't ever heard voices however I believe stress can exacerbate them and that makes sense to me. I find that if I keep stress to a minimum I can go without symptoms. Of course a person can have symptoms even when he or she doesn't have stress. I have a theory that stress effects chemicals in the brain (cortisol is one of them if I recall) so that could be why the voices flare up when a person is under stress.

Myself, I have had no interest in math. Writing is my thing.
Best regards,
Christina
I also suffer from schizoaffective disorder.
I wish I knew the what, why and how voices are created. I would be in total ectasy if they went away for good.
I've heard voices for many years and recently started to fight back. The voices are less frequent.
I hope you can find a good way to deal with the voices.
Keep the faith,
Dave
