My voices got a lot more persistent after a couple of weeks. I think they might be easing up a tiny bit now, either that or I've just stopped thinking about them so much. Probably the latter.
I've had the occasional irrational fear
i.e. there is someone in my flat, or feeling scared at night smoking outside because I think someone is going to harm me but I wouldn't quite go as far to call it true paranoia. I don't have that feeling of certainty that comes with that, more just anxiety.
I was worrying about relapse quite a bit but that seems to be easing off now since I'm not getting any worse. I think it's just a case of adjusting to hearing more voices & being alert all the time, which I seem to be doing.
I'd say it's been putting me off looking for jobs at the moment having all this going on but hopefully I'll get the motivation to look soon.
