Hi,
My friend is beginning to share what his voices are telling him. He has never shared them with anyone before. When he started sharing about one of his voices with me, he said that three others who he just heard as mumblings before began to torment him.

Have any of u had this happen when u started to get close to someone or began to trust them? It really scared him.

Yes, that sounds familiar. I am still reluctant to talk about it with other people. For one, they probably won't be able to relate, and that could put additional strain on relationships. Paranoia and the fear of very real possibilities of stigmatisation and prejudice can keep us from letting others know, until (if ever) we really trust them.

supportu, it takes a lot of trust for a person to share about their hallucinations. Showing concern and being a constant in his life is important...if you get scared come here to PC for support. It might also be helpful to read a little about mental health concerning hallucinations....feel free to PM me....D.
