Hello mazer:

I keep hearing an evil voice ( a male one )telling me not to trust people especially the Doctor etc.

Okay... here's a couple of questions for you. Do you trust your doctor/other people or do you just feel like you should trust him/them?

I have had this for coming up 2 years now and also telling me to hurt people,I have to avoid seeing things like hammers or similier items as I think awful thoughts on how to harm people.

How do you feel about this feeling in you? I ask because sometimes people really do want to hurt other people. This isn't necessarily because they're bad people -- more often, there's some other reason such as being hurt or angry.

I also see a child about 5 years old running from room to room that I persume is me seeing things or simply a ghost.

How do you feel about that? Freaked out that you're seeing it at all? Does the child do or say anything? Remind you of anyone? Is there any pattern to their appearance, for example, do they only appear when you're alone, or deep in thought, or trying not to think about hammers?

Don't feel obligated to answer any of those questions if you'd prefer not to. I ask because sometimes, there's a rationale to such things even if they appear "mad" on the surface.

If you return to the main page of the Schizophrenia topic there's a thread at the top of them all in regard to resources. In that thread are a couple of links specifically for people who hear voices. Maybe you can find some information there that will be helpful to you.
