fighting the voices


Question Posted Monday November 27 2006, 2:53 am

i am 16 years old and i hear voics and see things. i get really scared and when the voices talk to me they tell me to kill myself or hurt myself. and if i dont do what they tell me to they threaten to hurt me. it really scares me. my mom tries to tell me thats the voices arent real but they feel soo real to me and i freak out when i start hearing them. when they talk to me i dont remember where i am or who i am around at the time. i have been hospitalized and placed in special ed. at skool. but no one can help me because when i hear them all i can think to do is do what they are telling me to. and when i snap out of it i am always laying on the floor disoriented and there is always 2 people standing close to me. how should i cope with this? what could i do to make the voices stop? HELP ME PLEASE I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF ADVICE!

I think that you should get checked out for any psychological issues, such as hallucinations or schizophrenia. In addition, I think it might be helpful to speak to a spiritual counselor, such as a priest. You may be experiencing spiritual oppression or even possession; a priest could help you resolve this problem. Whatever the problem is, I pray that your symptoms resolve, your voices go away, and that you are protected from now on from them.

You should consider meditation; often people can overcome these kinds of issues with it, sometimes even if medicine doesn't work.

Hello,

Hallucinations feel very real to a person who has them, for those that don't have hallucinations they simply can't understand. The best plan of action for someone in your situation is to seek the advice of your psychiatrist. Perhaps onging group therapy with others having the same symptoms could be of some help to you, but that should be up to your Dr. There are many new medications available, and possibly there is one that may work to control your symptoms. Under the direction of your Dr. He/She should be able to try different medications or find the best combination specifically for you. Any new treatment plan or regimen would certainly be worth it if you had some relief from your turmoil.
I have heard that some people can learn to distinguish real or hallucitory voices, and that alone has made them stop. Only someone who has had that experience would be able to tell you how it's done. As far as medicine is concerned there is always hope that there will be a cure for your condition someday. I don't question the fact that miracles have been performed by alternative healers and spiritual (charismatic) healers, because I have seen it first hand. Of course, if your Mom would agree, that may be an option for you in addition to psychiatric treatment. Remember this "You are important and you deserve to feel better"

Go to the doctors and get maybe your head examined, this maybe something like a hallucination. Try to fight them no matter what, ignore them and tell them to go away from you. Do not go crazy and try to harm yourself in any way at all. Control it. Use all your strength to fight them, and pray.

You definitely need to seek medical attention. See if any of this sounds familiar to the symptoms you are having. It usually develops in people of your age. It can be treated. :)
