Hello, /mental/ists. I'm just someone aged 17 who's currently living with my family.
I've never really had friends or even a proper relationship. I started be "sad" with life at 8 and at 14/15 I was wanting to an hero, but I've never had the balls. The worst is that in that age I started to hear voices telling me to an hero, they insulted me and made me not to feel worth living for.
The first time I got one (during a shower) I screamed to mom and explained her, but she didn't really cared.

I still have them with also visual hallucinations about monsters, people, parts of bodies and some other stuff, I try to tell her about them but she's always being like "It's just stress", "you have lots of imagination" and it's bothering because she doesn't see it as a real problem.
I feel so broken and insecure, what should I do??

And if you ask: I've never done any drugs and I don't know why my head does all of that. I also never went to any specialist to talk about this because at home they don't take it seriously.

I just want it to stop… What can I do, guys?

I think you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Hi friend.

The voices will not stop until you're happy.

Source: experience

So, go be fucking happy, you know how to, don't you?

If your mother has respect for doctors, find a way to get yourself to one and explain the situation.
Maybe a professional backing you up will help you get your message across.

Anon, you really need to see a doctor…

OP, have you told anyone else that the voices told you to drink a nice cup of milk and relax? If you have told your parents and they aren't listening to you, you need to call for help. See the phone numbers above. I bet they have info. Just make sure your insurance covers this stuff if you live in the U.S.. Maybe you can talk to someone on the hotline that can help with that too.

I saw a TED talk that a woman decided to try to make friends with her voices. I don't know if that can apply to you

Please seek help asap

My mother's a mental health nurse, so I've heard all about the many extremes of schizophrenia. There are some people who have neutral or positive voices.

In fact she's told me about 2 or 3 patients she's heard of who've ended up rejecting medication because it turns out that the voices were always giving them friendly reminders to do important things each day, and without those reminders their lives quickly fell apart because they'd never learned to remember things for themselves.

Mental illness is a weird thing.

Hi, Op here. One of the main voices, who also has a body, it used to be named Scintellio. I was just tired of being weak and be scared of him so I talked to him for some days (this was months ago) he started to be nicer, but he later come up that the one who was being nice was Joey, I didn't know what he was talking about. Then, I later found him having weird "attacks" and changing to good to bad to good etc all at the same sentence.
I tried to invest what it was wrong with him,I had so much theories, but I can't know wich one is true because he doesn't visit me that much.
This last weeks I only had auditory ones: a british man talking with a loudspeaker and some shouts.
So, for now they haven't ordered me to an hero since two weeks ago and I just ended thinking "kay you gotta live, you can do this" and since then they had been just foolish, but I'm worried if they are going to change their minds when I'll be upset again.

I'm not very experienced with Schizophrenia or similar Psychotic Disorders, but it sounds as if the mood of your hallucinations is a manifestation of suppressed emotions you may not be aware you have. They may be being nicer to you as you accepted the fact that you have to live, that you can do it. Try to maintain that state of mind, no matter how hard it may be, and take note of if the hallucinations change their "Mind" around the time you start feeling crappy, or have stuff occur that could trigger a worsened mood.

Just got out of the mental hospital, lol. My hallucinations tell me very funny jokes filled with nonsense wordplay that keep me laughing throughout the day.

I experienced the same thing in a dream once. I remembered the exact sentence (thank you lucid dreaming) that had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes, but I woke up and realized it made no sense at all.

I guess you can take some comfort in that somehow? That a non-schizophrenic has experienced something relateable.
