The voices are loud ...am not coping so well at the moment
i haven't been to my hearing voices group for months because am too scared to leave the house some times , other times it because am just too tired. At the moment am listening to music on headphones trying to drown out the voices so far it hasn't helped Am trying to keep busy The voices are telling me i must do as am told ...i must cut my wrists or something bad will happen and it will be my fault Must do it now I have the tools to do it with but my husband is keeping an eye on me so i don't do it anywhere dangerous like my wrists I can cut somewhere else as damage limitation But the voices want me to do my wrists nothing else will stop them from doing something bad I cant take anymore medication because am at my limit for them so am unsure what to do really

I hope you're feeling better. Check in when you can.
Try to remember the voices threaten you but they actually can't do anything. They try to trick you. They are tricksters, but they are powerless. The only bad thing that will happen is if you cut yourself you'll be hurt. They can't do anything to you. I know they are mean and scary. I'm glad your husband is watching out for you.

Dealing with command voices sucks. It took me a long time to realise that I didn't have to do everything they said, but learning to say 'no' to them helped me feel more empowered.
Definitely keep finding things to distract yourself. Again that is something that helps me to stay in control. Hope you find some relief soon.
