i don't really know what to do.. i don't want to talk to a doctor about that...
i was in psychiatry already and tried 2 medications for a month which was the worst time of my life but i kept hearing the voices and never told anyone... i also got mental images of the demon... it was just really really really ugly.... 
and i also see stupid faces in the clouds, on the ground, in the trees or when i close my eyes... yeah maybe i should go to a priest like someone told me...
but i am also a bit afraid of doing that... maybe someone has some advice??
of course basically people have to say "please go to a doctor or therapist"...
but i don't feel like that would help me so much... it feels like it only makes it more complicated... i just hope god wants to help me...

I know that seeing a compassionate psychiatrist could be a good step to changing your medication from what you had. There are no demons out there after us, but there are voices that are mean and uncaring.
I too hear voices and many times they are like high school bullies. I have tried arguing with them and that just hurts me more. Finally I told them you have no right to be here and go back to where you came from. If they persist I ignore them and focus on something more positive or peaceful like music or reading.
I read passages from my favorite religious or inspirational literature and that helps lift me up. Or I go to church and the music picks me up.
I understand how terrifying it can be, but taking the voices seriously can only give them more power. One night they were saying all kind of bad things and I just laughed. And laughed and laughed. They were gone. Seems like laughter and smiling is good first aid.
