A lot of voices. About 10 Don’t want to listen to them, it doesn’t help. Have to remain calm. Went to IKEA. Some voices want my appearance but it doesn’t make any sense 😕. ---

> [@Om\_Sadasiva](#): > > They are threatening me I’ve been threatened for over three decades and they haven’t caused any harm to me. Not even a broken fingernail. Even if they are real (which they aren’t) then… 1. They are completely powerless and can be safely ignored. 2. They are so incompetent they are also harmless and can be safely ignored. That’s how I ignored them at first. Now I just ignore them because I automatically know they’re not real aliens, just a sick part of my brain leaking crap into the healthier part. Never had an issue from treating voices like garbage, except for the side-effect of a healthy and enjoyable life. 😊 ---

I’m afraid of my voices, don’t want them to be real, when I’m feeling well sometimes voices ruin my positive mood. ---
