Can you do a little visualization??? The "voices" in my head used to drive me MAD until I did a little visualization - and my shrink said it was GREAT - and he'd use it with his patients!!!

First - I have 2 "voices" in my head. One is a man and one is a woman. I don't know why they are like that, but that's what I "see" when i "look" for the voices. The woman is the one doing all the talking. The man just stands there. This woman talks all the time - she never shuts up - so when it gets to be too much this is what I do:

I've "built" a clear plexiglass wall - you can see thru it. When the voices get too loud, I push this "imaginary" button and the wall goes UP. Now i can't hear the voices anymore!!! It stops ALL the noise. It REALLY WORKS!! When the noise is quiet, I can let the wall down.

You can't leave the wall up or else this won't work -- the voices would find another way to bother you. So you have to let the wall down until they get too noisy again.

I hope this works for you --- or someone. It has saved me from so much chaos! Hugs, Lee
