Before i got on meds that take the voices away i used to try a quieting meditation. I would focus on the voices with my mind, and my attention and 'will' them to be quieter. I could imagine that they were getting quieter and quieter, and imagine that they are being pulled away from my mind. The mind is really a powerful tool, and since they are in your mind you can use your mind to move them, and to control them. I used to make commands onto them too, like i would say affirmations like 'when i sleep the voices get quiet.' If all else fails you can put on some headphones and listen to music until you sleep. You could also negotiate with them, and talk to them, ask them to be quiet and respectful. Some of my meanest voices actually responded well to me being nice to them. i converted some into friends.

best wishes...
Thanks for this!

Av tried mediation before i couldn't do it that well

Listening to music helps i have some on now i cant have it really loud as i am in the dining room next to the living room and my husbands watching tv

Today the voices have been really loud i been around my husbands dads family all day with chicken and grasshoppers every time the chicken came near me the voices said that they where going to peck my eyes out
and the grasshoppers are for my sister in law lizard witch i stayed well away from

They get so loud some times that i cant sleep because of them
Tonight feels like one of those nights

Faint, I'm sorry you are struggling. When my voices get loud and I can't block them out I listen to online lectures--keeps my mind more focused than music. It works for the day time but not the night when you have to sleep. Sometimes, at night I create conversations in my head with my pdoc. They have nothing to do with my voices but they distract me until I can fall asleep. I hope you can get this worked out......D.
