i have intrusive thoughts which i won't describe but which are violent. i thought i would try what that woman in the ted talk referred to in how she dealt with her voices. i would think about why i was having that symptom. what that thought represented and why i might feel that way.

i was sexually abused as a psych patient by a psychiatrist and i think that lead to some of it.

my medication, invega, works very well. i don't think i've heard anything except things that were actually happening since stopping drinking. i think weed might make me paranoid too, though i haven't partaken of marijuana since this summer.
