Found a local hearing voices group

Found a local hearing voices group

I found out about a local hearing voices group being held near me. I go to my first meeting tomorrow. My gf is going to come with me for support (she is a voice hearer too). It is a peer run initative so I hope to get something good out of the experience.

With my voices being totally out of control at the moment, I believe there is only so much antipsychotic medication can do. There has to be alternatives, or at least some way of learning coping strategies. Today I tried talkback radio as suggested and it worked with great success. I was able to distract for a full two hours!

I'm nervous about going to the new group, but I'm guessing that is pretty normal really.

Wish me luck folks!

Interested in this @Queenie. I've read about those groups but never been to one. I stopped all my medication a month or so ago and am working on making friends with my people so the idea interested me. Were there a lot of people at your meeting? What happened there?
