I stay up at night not because I want to but because of all these voices in my head. They scream they shout to be let out. I try to calm them down but they won’t stop now or ever. They whisper in my ear during the day saying “they are looking at you, they are judging you’re outfit, that was the wrong thing to say.” Why won’t these voices go away!? I just want some peace some time to think. I want to feel loved. I want to feel like I fit in. I want to feel beautiful but these voices in my head scream out my insecurities and my self hatred. Some times they are so loud I think the person next to me can hear them but it’s just in my head. All of these voices in my head are.... mine, my self hatred created these but now they won’t go away.

Voices in my head
dont let them control you, you can pull your mind in, tell your mind and the voices that you run the show, talk to yourself, encourage yourself when no one else does, thats what i try to do and i want to sleep but my mind is trying to tell me otherwise but you have the power just like i do to get through this and you will, you are just as good as the rest and better than the best and your best days are right around the corner
Hey MusicLover
It is very normal to feel self conscious at 16. It becomes scary if you continually listen to self criticism and is made worse if you don’t get enough sleep. If you don’t feel able to talk to your parents or a teacher for some guidance, how about phoning a helpline for teens? And talk to us here too. You are very very young. With a little help you’ll figure it out.
You seem a bit paranoid. Have you tried seeing a physx? Propper meds will calm all of this down.
Musiclover01, I am so sorry that you are facing such mental torment. Have you sought help or counsel aside from here? I am so glad that you have come here for help. I am here if you need to talk or need help or guidance finding a place to help. Big hugs.
I relate very much to this. I have no advice here but I am with you.
