This is something I want you all to write in because seeing that you are not alone, is our own best medicine.

Can you control a voice to stop it's repeated message?

Are there a beneficial voice that helps you get chores done?

Is there a voice you like?

Think of different things about voices you may hear and write pros and cons to them.

1. Only for a minute or so

2. There are no beneficial voices

3. Though they are mean I like all of my voices

Pros-

They keep me busy

Cons-

They make death threats

Is there a way you can befriend a bad voice, and then me that voice listen to you? Do you have a strong mental yell that you can yell back, and make that voice hush???

I have befriended bad voices before but at first they can be hard to manage because they have that whole we're friends now thing going for them but after awhile yes. I would yell but lately it gives me headaches so I try not to.

Can you agree to disagree? Can you draw a line in the sand and say don't cross my line? Making it so the voice is further away sounding?

I talked things out with my most persistent ride-along voice, and we have an understanding now. It helps a lot. Basically, he wanted me to keep myself safe, but he was doing it wrong, so I made a deal where I get to pick what we do but I have to listen to his suggestions. That way, he doesn't get so angry because I'm not fighting him. Some meditation techniques helped me to be able to get there.

That has so much meaning to me, you really are holding your own as well, I'm proud of you...doing well
