crisis team/voices
 

i rang the crisis team tonight cos i am struggling really bad with the voices
the nurse on the other end of the phone said to carry on listening to my music but theres only so much music i can listen to....does anybody else have this problem with the voices and music?

the nurse said if i have anymore problems to ring back or present myself to a and e but i cant cos of the spies being there .....they follow me everywhere i go and its scaring me...i cant even go into a shop on my own no more....cos the spies follow me everywhere i go and they read my mind and tell the voices to be horrible to me....i cant cope with them anymore

does anyone else have coping techniques on how to cope with your voices as i am running out of ideas

thanks in advance xxhugsxx

Hey :)
I'm not sure how this is supposed to work, but some research has shown that it can help to wear one earplug in the opposite ear to the one you hear the voices in.
I find it helps to try and listen to music and read or draw at the same time, often it means that the words I'm reading don't sink in but it helps to keep my mind off the voices. Also I find it useful to do something really fiddly like embroidery.
If you feel like people are reading your thoughts would it help to wear a hat? I know it sounds silly but I feel naked if I go out without one now :)
Don't feel bad if you need to ring up again though, that's what they're there for x

I too, feel naked without a hat/beanie. Multi-tasking, ie reading and music or music and writing/drawing can help too.

my eating has gotten out of control....i am alright if i share a meal but if i am eating alone or a meal by myself ...i end up making myself sick as its poison....hannah tells me they are trying to put a bug in me by contaminating my food....sleeping on the kitchen floor again cos of the cameras in the bedroom and the living room....although i am sleeping on the floor i am getting sleep all the way through some nights but other nights the voices keep me awake

What do you mean by spies? Can you see them? How many spies are there? Do they look or sound like someone you know? perhaps see your social worker or ask for a psychologist. Go to your doctor and they will help you get it worked out - with out the spies even knowing :) because its confidential you see - even the spies cant see or hear what you say - no one can except you and that one doctor.

God luck sweetie pie x

:cry: the spies are everywhere i go.....i cant cope with them trying to read my mind .....i have a drs appointment tomorrow but i am scared to go in case the dr reads my thoughts and replaces it with killing power....i have strong urges to hurt someone especially the spies.....my keyworker is a spy for the government and it kills me to even speak to her let alone let her in my flat....am just tired of it all...who can i trust?

I will offer a simple thought for you - No matter how much killing power you have, if you do not want to kill, you won't. No one can make you do such things other than you.

Please, go and speak to a Dr or Psych about what is going on for you, it may be that they can help you and that is worth the risk you may feel it entails.
