Hello Joeb

Have you tried headphones playing music, that may distract your voices for short periods of time. It is important you are seen soon by your health Professionals who can refer you where they may be able to help. Try different things to divert the person in your head.

Good Luck with your new treatment Pathway.

I used to have expensive headphones and I kept breaking them so now I have got a cheap pair and they do not break.
