voices make me want to end it my ocd as well
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.

Whether you admit it or not, you talk to yourself. We all talk to ourselves. Talking to yourself does not make you crazy. It is better that you talk to yourself than let your circumstances talk to you. It is better for your mind to speak to your emotions instead of the other way around. It is better for you to preach to yourself than let the evil one do it. So, what do you say to yourself when you speak to yourself? The best example is from David. In Psalm 42, he said to himself, “Why are you downcast oh my soul? Put your hope in God. For I will yet praise him, my saviour.”
Psalms 42 & 43 is said to be the biblical cure for emotional depression. The psalmist in Psalms chapter 42 and 43 was also going through one of those times, and thankfully he opened up his heart to show us the best way to deal with those times of discouragement and despair.
From Despair to Joy
That I am, and that is why I also mentioned in my original message (if you read it carefully) that, "It is better for you to preach to yourself than let the evil one do it."You're probably unfamiliar with delusional voices of the mentally ill. They typically don't reflect a self discussion and are often extremely negative and hateful against them that suffer such things. They can even tell people to kill others, not really a self discussion

I agree that a good self discussion can do good. Also the voices of the mentally ill are from the subconscious most likely and not from some evil source. I believe they are manifestations like waking dreams, and some are nightmares.
It could be a medical condition like you are saying, but those voices are certainly not from the Lord, for it is written, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" - 2 Timothy 1:7. The Holy Spirit that indwells us is the comforter, and He ministers to our troubled souls.

Well the mentally ill are given trials. That does not mean that God does not visit us with the Holy Spirit. I have experienced the Holy Spirit on three very powerful occasions where I was filled with a heavenly measure of peace and love and all turmoil and pain left my soul for hours each time. But then after he left the mental illness returns. The Holy Spirit does not stay with us: Genesis 6:3
"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
