I’m a really sensitive person. But my voices says things that don’t help. Listening to unkind comments don’t. Most people would start screaming.

How are you not in distress every day like me?
no, my voices didnt go away on meds… rather, they became friendly. so still distracting but no longer drive me into a rage… they are easy to tune out when they are kind.
if i’m off meds the voices bully me. it’s a markedly different experience

I have trained myself to react to the voices as nothing more than a nuisance. It wasn’t easy or fast, but it’s why I survive with more voices and less meds than most. THIS is why I defend CBT as the best bang for the buck treatment-wise followed by exercise and diet. Yes you need meds as a foundation, but my strategy is to build tall on a small (low dose) foundation.

got to give up the caffeine man, if you want relief from the voices.
caffeine causes dopamine production thus negating the effects of the meds.
I think I told you before about it.
still if you are finding yourself torutred by voices then it is worth a shot.
Give up for 3 months and come back to this post of how voices torture you and notice the difference.

What about vaping? I don’t think I can give that up
I didn’t got rid of my voices, even with higher dosage of clozapine.
Sometimes they are kind, sometimes harsh.
Try your best to survive with them, that’s the best thing I can say.

plus give up any idea that voices are supernatural will help.
Clinging on to these delusional beliefs will cause you all sorts of stress.
Voices are what you expect to hear- Fact!
So if you have crazy supernatural beliefs then you are going to have crazy weird voices reflected in that.
Link between hallucinations and dopamine not such a mystery, finds study
I know most people grow up with all this imaginanry beliefs. Give them all up and look at the world scientifically will really help you.
Most people’s beliefs are just strategies to cope with the despair, a normative response of the monkey human mind to the life they lead.
