Please get help, may be for now if no beds ...some outpatient help. Is it available for you now? It seems that you are in crisis situation and this is when help is needed. I am hugging you and care about it and very concerned about you.

Hi Lynsey, I've been reading your posts and I'm very worried about you. I'm so sorry you are going through this and my heart goes out to you. I think you should go the hospital like they told you to do if it gets real bad because it is real bad now. You said you started cutting because of the voices.....please be safe. Love and light to you ❤🌹

It's not to bad trying keep my mind of it and talking to people here has been helping

[Robinrenae in reply to Lynseyhot]

Ok, that's your decision to make. Please remember those voices can't be trusted. Try your best to ignore them. Have you tried ice on your skin or snapping a rubber band on your wrist when you feel the urge to cut or hear the voices saying to cut? I know people who use those as a way to help.

Reaching out here is a good idea and I'm glad it's helping you. I'm here if you want to talk.

I found this article on ways to relieve anxiety. I actually found some of them to be very helpful. Some can help those voices in your head. Remember that you are stronger than you think. You are a wonderful person and we care about you so much 💜

I hope you're feeling a bit better now. I watched a documentary on the BBC about psychosis. It might still be on the iPlayer, I haven't checked but if you can find a way to watch it, maybe it could help you. It was called 'why did I go mad?' It was fascinating but hard to watch, all the people who were hearing and seeing things had suffered childhood abuse and the voices and things they were seeing were the result of them disassociating themselves from the traumatic events at the time the abuse was taking place. In some cases, their voices and things they were seeing appeared years later, usually triggered by stressful events and situations. The documentary touched on several aspects of the illness and how it affects people but the people who underwent therapy to help them listen to what the voices wanted to say had the best outcome. It sounds counterintuitive to listen to something that scares you but apparently the voices are part of your own psyche trying to protect you from further harm. There was even one woman who replied to the voices and even asked them questions, like what she needs to take to work with her! She totally turned it around and they became more of a help to her than something negative. It was a real eye opener, well worth watching if you can find it. Maybe your illness is different to that so you should definitely seek professional advice and don't let them make you hurt yourself but if you can find someone who knows what they're doing to help you listen and talk to the voices it might help you get better. I'm not a medical professional so I can't say if it will work for you or not but the people on the documentary benefited from that treatment so it might be worth some investigation. Good luck, I hope you find something that improves things for you. I'll be thinking of you, please keep us up to date with how you're doing. Sending you good vibes x
