Seeking insight, help, knowledge please

@outlander

@Anastasia , are they internal or external voices that he hears?

Hello @Former-Member

External. Very real 😔

Dear @Anastasia,

When I was psychotic I was hearing voices, some of them were frightening. Don't be afraid of talking about the voices with him. It can be very lonely when nobody listens. He may need to talk to a GP.

Hi @Schitzo

I haven't seen you of late, Happy New Year. Thank you for your message, I appreciate it very much.

We openly talk about it, usual he will tell me if we are together at the time. What I am really trying to figure out is if they are acceptable "breakthrough" symptoms (they are daily) or if his medication needs adjusting. They are always nasty and threatening. It makes me sad that he is experiencing this and I really don't think that he should have to live with them daily? Perhaps that is "normal" I am trying to understand, he has spoken to his pdoc who suggested an increase in his AP in the morning but that would then not allow him to drive and further impact his quality of lifei so he is understandably reluctant to adjust his meds. oes that make sense?

Good morning @Anastasia. You know my story and I just wanted to share an informative website with you. Hearing-voices.org. Sending love ❤️

Yes thank you @Krishna - I will duck there now.

Just want the very best quality of life for him. He is in a pretty black place right now and I really feel that it is as a result of these dreaded voices. Oh I wish for a miracle. Sending you love and light beautiful girl xox

Dear @Anastasia, yes, that makes perfect sense. My old anti psychotic medication made me a zombie so I understand where he is coming from, but I am worried if it isn't treated it may get worse.

Hi @Anastasia

I'm sorry to hear that your boy is going through this.

I also hear voices... they're always frightening and disturbing. Instead of looking at the voices I hear as a scary symptom with no meaning, I try to view the voices as trying to tell me something. For instance, they could be trying to tell me that i'm anxious or lacking in confidence. This really helps me with managing the voices and living with them. It even makes them less intense alongside taking my medication, because I'm not constantly fighting with them. I hope this is helpful.

Sending strength to you and your boy.
