Gem-Louise · 15-02-2013, 02:32 AM

hi...the voices in my head for the past couple of days have been really hard to handle ..they are making my mood even shitter and its making me lash out at people...im scared of the person that i am becoming i dont know what to do ...yesturday i was really paranoid to the point where i did something stupid ,the voices are just getting harder and harder to control and its hard to cope with them ...im actually scared...no im terrified of being alive when i hear them because they make things so hard and i dont know how to cope with them....i keep seeing my grandad he has been dead for around 7 months now and although its good to see him because i love him ,its scaring me at the same time because i can see ghost ...also things do seem to be the way they should be ...i will be walking down the street and see something and look away then look back again and it would have vanished ....i also see messages written on the wall /when i look in the mirror and its really scaing me because of what they say....i feel like someone is after me ....when i hear voices and see some of the things i see it makes me really unsafe and scared ...does anyone have any advice or ideas of how to help when these things happen ....thanks x

Do you recognise that they aren't real?
The fact that you identify them as "voices and hallucinations" can be seen as a good thing because you are still in touch with the reality side of things

They don't sound like good things to see though.

Have you told your support worker person?

Hi there.

Sorry to hear you're suffering so much with this right now.

These really do sound like awful things to be living with; as said above it is good that you can understand that they are hallucinations/voices and that you are still in contact with reality to some extent.

Have you got any professional support right now? Anyone you can discuss these things with in a safe setting?

Often it helps when dealing with these kinds of things to have something that can help you stay in the present/reality - do you have anything that helps? Music or something to hold or someone you can call when things get really strong?

Take care.

Senator Aardvark-Some of the things that i see i cantell that there not real but there still scary but sometimes i cant tell if there real or not :/ but they seem to be ....i have mentioned a bit about this to my worker but she doesnt really talk to me about voices and things its more about how i feel .

Mix Tape-I have a mental health worker but she doesnt talk to me about these kinds of things i dont know why :/ ...when things get bad i do listen to music and if im sdeeing things as well i will close my eyes sometimes that does help but when im feeling really bad and hallusinations and voices are bad its hard to control what happens

thanks again for replying x

maybe it would be easier to stick to one thread?
because you are basically saying the same thing on your other thread

Sorry you're still finding something so difficult right now.

Maybe you should say to your MH worker that you feel you need to discuss these things and if it's not possible to with her maybe she could refer you to someone you can talk to?

I think it's really important for you to reach out for MH support right now.
