I rarely get voices. Only get them now if I’m sleep deprived or very very stressed.
I have lived years in psychosis. Don’t want to go back to that.

Have you experienced constant voices in the past?

Only one time. But I couldn’t tell they were not real until I got better. I could hear my neighbour harassing me. It went on from the moment I got up until I went to sleep. It lasted weeks.

Now what symptoms remain?
Never had voices. Closest I have come was my dexcom meter saying some things to me once when its not capable of speech.

It’s not necessary to have voices in order to be schizo.
What other symptoms do you have?

Not many symptoms. Only fleeting thoughts like are we in hell or are we in a simulation am I going to be murdered etc. I don’t obsess over these anymore. They don’t consume me like they once did.

The only symptoms I get when I’m medicated properly is a bit of paranoia when stressed and on rare occasions making connections that arent there.
When I’m not properly medicated I get mostly delusions. Have had a slight sprinkle of hallucinations as well, but they are EXTREMELY rare for me. I mean in the low single digits ever.

In the early stages of schizophrenia, I used to call my then psychiatrist every time I heard voices. It was silly.
My current pdoc says I must learn to live with voices. I don’t bother him with some symptoms

I’ve reduced the amount of voices. Used to be five Goddesses.
I asked an old version of me (previous incarnation) to take the last Goddess alive.
I’ve tried torturing her. It didn’t work.
These bitches are obsessed with me and won’t leave me alone. I’m not even God or God like. I’m mortal, human and imperfect.
Won’t be long before the infinity of God’s (incarnations) finds a way to get rid of the last Goddess.
I need no voices to function.
And meds don’t work. That’s a lie by big pharma.
Look at how many of us hear voices whilst on meds.

I don’t understand much

If meds don’t work on voices, that means that these voices are not caused by schizophrenia?

if voices persist, what does this mean?

I mean if they work on visual hallucinations, then why not for voices? It’s not that I’m treatment resistant

I must be treatment resistant.
Maybe the neurological dampening in the brain is enough to stop visuals.
But delusions and voices? Nah.
Delusions I got rid of myself.
And voices are just interdimensional.
Personally I think my voices are beyond this Universe.
And that other peoples voices come from idiotic beings (fragmented souls) within the Universe.
So I believe your voices are real.

I think I need cbt for my voices.
A better coping mechanism. On how to ignore them when they are there.
Mine can cry through my face, blink through my eyes. It’s irritating. Mostly nothing today though. Even laugh at my jokes and laugh through me in my chest and belly.
