Voices?

[whereismymind]

Lately I've been zoning out staring and stuff and thinking. When I zone out I think about bad stuff and eventually I hear a voice stating the obvious - that I'm nothing, I've got no friends, I'm a disappointment and second best and other stuff like that. Then I get upset and annoyed I ended up cutting a few days ago and I end up crying half the time. Does anything similar happen to anyone else?

yeah, sometimes my mind can be my own worst enemy... I dont know what does it or causes it. You explained it really well, I dont know what you are supposed to do when it happens though cause at the time everything seems so true.. I suppose the best way I manage to deal with the voice though is try and block it out, like when you were little and put your hands over your ears and did that whole 'blablabla Im not listening' thing. you could try and turn up music really loud and sing along to the lyrics, or just randomly make up your own song or tune or something in your head that will distract you. hopefully that helps :) sorry if it didnt..

Alot. I used to get this thing, it was really scary. I would just be sitting and in like a hushed whispery voice my mum would go Connooooor and then one by one people would join in until every one I know is saying my name.
Hasn't happened in a while though, thank god.

Why dont you try to face them? Yes they are scary, yes they face the obvious, yes they remind you of what your life is like. So what? These voices talk to you because you allow them to. Not consciously perhaps, but through your own perception of your "smallness". Life can be horrible at times, believe me i know. But that doesnt mean you are horrible, that doesnt mean you are small or pity. you ARE the owner of your life, and you have control over it. These voices, think of them as invaders, linked to sadness in your life. Each time something bad happens, they make an advance towards you, because you let them because they want you to think you are weak, but hey! YOU ARE NOT, no one is.

You hear these voices because you allow them to speak. Do they remind you of someone? Probably they do, but you must not forget, that they speak only because you allow it, maybe because you are sad, maybe because you are tired, but if you slowly try to regain control over them (answer back, yell if you wish) they will eventually obey you and shut up. They may state the obvious, but they have no right to speak, remember that. :)

I really hope this small guide helps you i tried to shorten a lot of ideas i have, but hopefully you will feel better after you try them.

I sometimes get this, for me its usually accompanied by hallucinations. Unfortuantly I havn't found a way to block it out, as has been said just try and distract yourself, loud music or something else to distract you from it. I find it only seems to happen to me when I'm alone and in the dark.
