• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Voices Who I Think Are Real

My voices have said horrible things to me, they have shown me horrible things that I can see, and even given me smells. If I'm off my medication, I lose sight of the fact that they're not real and I believe I'm being tormented by demons. However, with medication, they are kept at bay. I never stop hearing them, but I know they're not real, and I ignore them.

That's just my case, though. In my tradition, we talk to clergy who help guide us through these situations. I never once had a priest want to do an exorcism on me; they have always said to seek psychiatric help first, and if they condition persists, they'll consider other options. But medication and talk therapy have more or less done the trick for me. I work full-time in a great job, I have a good marriage, and I follow God.

If anyone here hears voices who have not seen a doctor, please do. God provided us with (I dare say) miraculous tools to treat schizophrenia. Don't assume that you're being tormented by demons. I always tell myself I'm not special enough to warrant a demon torturing me. It's my own brain malfunctioning and nothing more.

I have Schizophrenia I hear voices. When there evil I rebuke them in JESUS Name. I no longer will talk to them. I thought I was talking to my deceased Grandpa and Grandma one time they came as a friend and ended up pure rotten evil. I will not talk to them if there real evil and they won't stop by praying I open the KJV Bible to Psalms 23 and read it until it stops and I'm okay. I also have closed eye hallucinations real bad as soon as they appear I shoot em down by saying once again I rebuke you in the name of JESUS. Sometimes the hallucinations are opened eyed now I get really scared thought I had special powers that it was GOD nope it wasn't it was a big red eye and it was as real to me as anything. Now what would that do if it happened to you. But some lessons have to be lived to be understood your playing with fire me personally I'm scared. I take my medication I also have fibromyalgia in pain all the time. I personally believe my schizophrenia is a generational curse and that's far and that's just I have been in 16 psychwards sober not testing for illegal drugs or alcohol. I will always be on medication that's why I have been hospitalized so much not taking my medication. I have schizophrenia and fibromyalgia and I deeply deeply deeply Love JESUS CHRIST. I'm not mad at GOD a lot billions of people got it a lot worse HIS yoke is Easy and HIS burden is light.


I have it too, but the medication makes the hallucinations go away. I used to have visual and auditory hallucinations. I only had a couple of different types of visual hallucinations. Either shadows in the shape of people, sudden flashes of light, blue lines guiding me where to walk, and while I tried to go to sleep I'd see red eyes staring at me. I thought the shadows were demons and the bright flashes of light were angels. But yeah I saw red eyes too

JANIS I thought for some seconds I have written this, it is so similar.

I had a different experience in life. I had a visitation from Jesus's who told me that the faces I was seeing at that time were demons. Even though they looked like humans. From then on I thought that they can speak and and that we humans all are voice hearers. So that my tormenting voices were real.

Now in another forum I wrote about this story for a long time and yet one told me all the time that it must have been my brain. God and religion doesn't exist. We fought about this issue for 2 years. The forum is closed now.

So now it depends how I analyse the voice, I either think they are real or not and coming from me.

I never read up on ways to deal with voices, coming from your brain. That they can have a meaning and it will get better.

Yesterday I come home from work and it was knocking on the wall of my room. The neighbours weren't in. That scared me and thought that this could have been real. This morning I think that I was happy for having finished my work but haven't paid 2 bills. So bit of fear was still in my body.

Voices and noises are so loud and real. I find if this is done by your brain alone you are a genius. I personally don't believe that the brain can produce all these noises. The brain has no voice box. One psychiatrist said that it might be memory.

We all have to be able to hear voices, like from God. We listen to demons for example. This is what Jesus told me about me at that time. That it comes often through as thoughts. In the Bible it is written that you should control your thoughts, for example. So many thoughts could have sprung up interfering with us.

So when this terrible reality exist, how can the psychologists say that they are all a product of your brain. A mutated gene. Who are these people? They put as all into danger. What is the point to get all medical help, when you can end up in hell.

So for this reason I have learned to control myself. I use several
healing templates. Perhaps it is both.

All is in my head. I am strong. I went through years of torment and tend not to go crazy. I am like my dad, quiet, relaxed. He could live for 20 years with my mum. I love the film 'Who is scared of Virginia Wolf'. When I miss my mum I can watch this film and feel at home.
I am used to going through pain and difficulties and sufferinget. So I am strong. I got bullied for years and now seems to I am on a good patch. I am strong and with the voices and fricken noises, where ever they are from. I can deal with lots.

Sometimes I dream I can be wild. Go back to uni. Separate from my partner. Pull myself together and work on my business. Go regularly to Green Part meetings and be involved.

I see you are on medicine. Did the hallucinations change at all- as in, become different-change? Alot of the anti-psychotics make me hallucinate more, crazier things. Ask God if you are on the right medicine.

EDIT: Ok, now I've read you are on meds and everything is okeydokey. Lol, slow to catch on. I am really glad for you.

The things I saw was as well a lot of coloured stars. Blues stars, red or yellow. So in spiritual healing they have a meaning and are rather positive. Or I got healed with red light and blue light.

I had a visitation once from Jesus and he told me, that what I see is real. I saw faces. So if it was two red lights points then it was real. Means you have to work on your self, like I did.
I use to read catholic prayers for 2 hours. I went to church, I have my 7th diary.

Jesus is nicer, then what we think, or what comes over through the Bible.

Because of the problem with the faces I still can see. During work, I started to talk to God. He said that they are malicious intend. The next thing which came up, was the word, concecration then the word seperation.
I had no idea what concecration means and had to look it up.
I would say now that it is total devotion.

Then a female voice of my mother came up which said, that she is angry now and after that a male voice. Forgot what he said.

This goes up in a head like mine. The female voice of my mother represents how I remember her and that she always was worried that I would join a sect.
And the male voice perhaps presents a peadophile or sexual harrasser, or a powerful group of aggressieve people.

In order to understand all the different voices, I had to analyse every voice!
To know when God speaks, then that comes through reading the Bible. And I will talk with a priest when I have time.

I think that we still live in a difficult time, where it is not allowed to talk about our Christian faith. Like 2000 years ago, people in Isreal were not allowed to accept Jesus as the real son of God.
Today, that is accepted, but we can't tell anyone when we hear Jesus or God speaking. You can't even go to a priest sometimes, perhaps he is jellous as not having experienced his own visions. Because some priests experience nothing, they keep everyone else silent.

And of course you can't tell this the psychologists. I think this is a real disaster to our world.

The problem is this we live in a society where hearing voices is just not normal that people have a hard time understanding something that never experience it and that's mainly because people suffer from it that have schizophrenia the very name is scary to people and sometimes I think is meant to be that way that throughout Biblical times many people in the Bible have claim hear the voice of God but nowadays you have some nutcase shoot up a mall and that's the real problem today
But for me is always been simple I have been through my trials and tribulations with this I have seen relatives suffer from it but for me a lot of good has come from it but I know enough about it to know that I'm a very rare case one time in particular I was driving when I Heard a Voice that told me to slow up I did so as I was driving by stop sign A car pulled out in front of me I step on the brakes missing it by inches I don't know what to call that divine intervention Maybe
That was only one time
But often get encouraged by it I only wish everyone could experience the same thing I have witness had the same experience I have experience by no less than 99% never will I just wish I society would handle it better

The voices are your own thoughts projected in a strange way and seemingly uncontrollable. But if you really pay attention to your own mind you can detect that and they will either go away or not be as disconcerting at least.

Yes, I needed a very long time to accept that voices are steming from our mind. I think if we think about cancer. We wouldn't see a cancerous growth as demonic.
The body can produce voices and thanks to a anti-depressant on top of Abifily, I am nearly free of them.
What is left is sometimes fear or guilt, or both.
Like today, but I think about bills and hope that everything goes alright.
Another thing of worry is work. Where I am now is ok, but I could change. I think with this illness I am slowlier then normal people.

I take my meds and forget that I have it. I am good, just so in a silent way when I am stressed I hear voices. But this is how I deal with it, I still think they are real, apart from noises who do not make any sense. I still think I would like to pay for a Psychic Development course. Of course I know what the Bible says on such an issue.

I get all sorts of physical illnesses now and are off at home. I did a lot the last 2 month. Worked full time, carried heavy bags. Went to hair clients and then that was it. I could not walk anymore.

This is healing and I am off sick till March.

What I hate is that my hands can shake and it is partly because of my meds. So I went to for Hypnosis, in order to work on it and to work on my fear.

My partner cooks for me, helps me and told me several times I am a cripple. He scares me sometimes. I find him rude and loud. I think of separating from him. Yesterday he told me I am evil and I mistreat him, because I threw his pot away. So, of course I can forgive him. I don't know sometimes what he3 wants from me. He is more rude when I work and bring home money. How weird is this? He helps me when I am ill, apart from telling "I am a cripple now and of course I am a cripple now"!

I used to hear voices a long time ago for years, I never took meds. I just kept trying to see them as my own thoughts and I noticed that before I heard them I could see the thought so I guess by paying attention to that I regained control of that part of my mind and they went away.

God can heal any problem so if you just forget about everything else and focus on getting close to Him, that is your best bet.

Voices are not a problem anymore.
But I think I am bipolar as well. I end up regularly depressed, or frightened, feeling guilty. I have difficulties to be alone. So my bad time is between 5pm and 8pm. I have learned to do a bit yoga and sing, this helps. But is recurring and I always pull myself together and this is when I then read the Bible for help, and I tend to calm down then.
