It was yours cashhart10 but I had a huge eye opener which is a step forward for me. I reached out to my aunt who has had a really messed up life and mental illness history. It's hard be sure since I have yet to seek therapy. something I might not ever do until it's absolutely necessary. Anyway. I have a lot of trauma from childhood on to adulthood along with living a very solitary life with an older man from infancy to about age 10 then another abusive solitary existence from 18-25. We think because everything is anxiety based the conversations just became my coping mechanism I got so good at it i really hear the voice talking to me. It doesn't affect me negatively and only manifests after high anxiety situations. I always thought it was normal but not normal enough to talk about I guess. Idk I've never dealt with my past I don't want to I have my own family to raise. My environment is very stable I guess I'm just holding tight to the meds will work so I don't have to go down this road

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!
