Are hearing mean voices normal?!

Question: Are hearing mean voices normal?

I have been hearing these strange voices for a few months now and lately since I had to change schools they've been getting meaner and more violent. For example: while at school today they kept telling me to hurt myself in a bad way and if I didn't that they would do something to me. When ever I try and ignore them they always just start to yell really loud and I start to get scared. They said that if I told anyone about them that I would be sorry that I was even born. I'm starting to get really scared about this. I have a counselor but nothing that we do seems to work. They have been getting meaner and meaner everyday and I can't get them to go away. What should I do about this? Like I said I already have a counselor. Is there anything that I can do to get rid of them? I'm only 13 years old.

Answers:

What you are experiencing is called commanding thoughts. It is very important you Tell your counselor what you just said above. If your counselor is not referring you to a psychiatrist, a Dr of mental health, then you need to get a new counselor. Commanding thoughts can be treating in many ways, most commonly with medication

Oh my gosh. :c

From my research and interest in psychology and the mind/brain, I am diagnosing you with Schizophrenia. You're so young, and I'm sure it's terrifying. Please, tell your parents, if they don't know. And if your counselor isn't working, find a new one.

I have a Schizophrenic best friend, and what he explains to me breaks my heart. His Schizophrenia isn't the same as what I believe you have, but still. I know I'm part of the reason he has it, as well.

I have chronic depression, severe anxiety, OCD going along with them, and early signs of Schizophrenia. I was bulimic and anorexic not long ago. I may develop Schizophrenia in the near or far future.

Anyways, get help soon. I believe there is medication and treatment that can help with your symptoms, if you're willing.

I really wish you and your family the best. :)

generally, when you hear mean voices over such a long period of time it suggests that you have been through a trauma when you were little. The only way to get rid of it is to get to the source i.e. get to know what you have been through!

Since you are so young...I would suggest you to talk to your parents about it...or if they already know ask them to take you to some psychoanalyst or something--at least someone who is enough qualified to help you! Or if they do not have the means of doing it...ask your counselor to get you to one! Usually schools do that for their students with problems like you have

And yeah...unless you are told by someone who is qualified to tell you so, never confront the voices by yourself! They can do you a lot of harm--like turning you mad....or they can scare you so much that you have an attack and either you end up in a coma or you die!! But of course there will be some point where you will have to do so!

One thing more...do not let them scare you and prevent you from doing things you want

Hope that helps :)

i know family with a problem like yours
