I've got these voices in my head and they're shouting really loudly, and I can't think straight and they're telling me to do stuff like kill myself, and its blocking up every other thought that's in my head, all I can think about is what they're saying. They're repeating 'just do it' over and over and over again and its like its pulsing, and pushing everything out of the way. And things like how I should do it, and how I would die and who would find me. I'm terrified that I'm not going to be able to control it, that I'm actually going to end up doing something drastic and I won't even have a chance to regret it.
I'm so scared

i hope you are ok, stay safe, *hugs you tight* xxxxxxxxx
Hey, voices are a bitch aren't they. How are you feeling today? One of the things that can help is listening to music I know you've heard that before, but this time try something called sub vocalisation (posh word ignore it). Listen to your music in one ear only (ie with headphones) and then put something like the tv on and try to repeat back the lyrics of the song whilst listening to what the people on the tv are saying? So you're trying to listen to two things at once (three if you count the voices, but try not to listen to them). It's meant to disrupt the signals in your brain that create the voices, but if you don't think it's your brain,don't worry, just try it because it can work. However sometimes it takes quite a few tries, so don't give up if it doesn't work the first time.
Thanks for the replies, the voices are still there this morning but they're a bit quieter and not so aggressive. Yesterday was the worst they've been, so I don't know...I'm hoping it was a one off and they were only so bad because I was tired and stressed but I'll have to see what happens.
I'll give the sub vocalisation a try, thanks fallen rain. It actually sounds like the sort of thing that I need because the problem I have is not being able to ignore it.
Thanks <3
