I understand why you wouldn't talk to your therapist about it. It does get better. Sending big hugs.  |
i saw my pdoc today and i told him about what the voices were telling me and he increased one of my APs
i am already on the max dose of one so he increased the dose of the other
thanks for your hugs, i appreciate it

I have dealt both with auditory hallucinations and PTSD in my life. I do not have schizophrenia, but I used to determine some parts of my PTSD were PTSD or auditory hallucinations by determining what type of voices I was hearing. Perhaps that can help you.

the voices i hear are a mixture of people i know/knew and complete strangers, but lately i've been hearing either my rapist's voice or complete strangers either way, they say things that no one has ever said to me before

It was like they were telling her something was off with her.  Still think you should talk to someone Kori, like your pdoc or even a hotline counselor. |
thanks starrysky, i told my pdoc today what was going on so i hope that the increase in meds helps them get quieter at least!
