I have been struggling with that my whole adult life.
I have been struggling with that for the past 6 months.
Is this common? Is there anyone out there who behaves/feels this way?
How does one get past it?
How does one ignore the screaming voices inside that tell you to do bad things to yourself? How do you listen to those who care about you over those negative voices?

I've struggled for 8 years with the voices, psychotic drugs did not hep much... Recently, I started a low dose bioidentical estrogen that stopped the voices...the psychosis.... I haven't had any for a little over a month! I can't believe it and some days still think they may come back but so far so good! It is frightening everything that I have experienced and telling it to a sane person leaves them looking at you as if you have 3 heads! It's been very, very hard and I sympathize with you. We're here for you because those negative voices are very destructive... I still struggle sometimes because I'm still working on getting the E dose right, but I'm prayerful!
Best Wishes,
TJ
