No one has replied to the other posts, but this is really serious!!!

At the moment I type this, I have scarlet fever.

I'm starting to lose a relationship on here.

He says he's been hurt so badly and that he can't trust me anymore.

It's making his depression worse and he's feeling lonely.

It's because I've been listening to my Voices and they always convince me to leave him. They say how much they hate him and that they want to kill him.

My friend is sick and tired of hearing about the Voices. They're just making things worse, and I believe in them than I do him.

I fear that he's just going to get worse. He told me that he had depression and I told him to get help, but he told me he doesn't need it and that he'll do it whenever he needs to.

The voices, his depression...

I don't know what to do but now I'm sad...

I don't think I have any advice or thoughts for you necessarily, but I'm happy to respond. I'm sorry you are hurting so much. It is no fun to feel sad. Are you getting help for these voices you speak of? Hope you are feeling better soon.

The bad news for the Voices is that there is no way to get rid of them with meds.
I have to continue with therapy to help, but they're coming back with a vengeance.

I'm curious does talking back to voices help at all? For instance would telling them the boyfriend makes you happy and what not help?

I used a "trick" when I heard "voices" --- you have to use your imagination.

I put a "face" on the voices. It wasn't a real CLEAR face but I could tell if they were male or female. I could also tell how MANY voices there were.

Then I pictured a clear, plexiglas wall. Next to this wall was a button that I could push. Whenever these voices started, I could push this button and this clear plexiglas wall would go up in front of these voices and all of a sudden I couldn't hear the voices anymore!!!! IT WORKED! I could still SEE them talking but I couldn't HEAR them. This is all imaginary, but it WORKED. My shrink said it was an EXCELLENT idea. Maybe it would work for you too!!!

It really does quiet the voices if you really concentrate!!! Give it a try -- it might work for you too. I sure hope so! God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
Thanks for this!

I really have no advice on the voices, because my advice would be to see a psychiatirst about that ASAP, but you said meds do not help.

As for scarlet fever, I've had that. You need to rest and all this drama is not helping.

As for your boyfriend.... trust can't be repaired with words. It takes actions. There may be nothing you can do at the moment except stop the behaviors you have previously done to hurt him. If you can't then you may have to go with that old saying "if you love someone let them go, if they don't come back it wasn't meant to be."
