Sometimes I hear a voice in my head that tells me negative things like everyone hates me or I should kill myself. What should I do?

Remind yourself that you are important and that you matter. Do not listen to that voice! Call a suicide hotline if you need to, and there are plenty of text lines as well if you have trouble talking on the phone like I do. I have used these several times and they really do help. Everyone does not hate you. Even if you think everyone does, and that everyone is against you, I'm here for you any time :)

Hi! I'm not going to say that I'm sorry for you hearing that voice, 'cause I think it could be a great springboard to you. Even if the temptation might be to try at all costs to cover that voice, my advice is: play with it but with no arms, no harming; just truly listen. What is beyond that voice, when does it comes out? What feelings are connected to it? Aren't there any other voices? I bet there are. Remember though that if you often feel a sort of tension to do harm to yourself, the very thing you want to do is seek for someone who can help you with expertise. Wish you all the best for your journey

Recognize that the voice isn't real. And that you don't have to believe the negative thoughts that you have. Everyone deals with critical voices telling them things that aren't true. The trick is to recognize that those voices can't hurt us if we don't give them the power to do so. They may sound really intimidating, and we may fear them. But if you really study them, they can't actually make us do anything.

Practicing self love is the solution to this, the hate that you've accumulated for yourself over the years is whats bringing in those thoughts. Look at yourself in the mirror and observe yourself you'll instantly love yourslt and youll realise how lovable your are and the same voice will then tell you how lovable you are

I think it would be best to seek professional help. A counselor, therapist, or doctor, maybe? I have had this happen to me and I find it's good to distract myself, or talk to someone that cares for me about what I'm going through.

It's common to hear negative things in your mind, especially if you have anxiety or depression. But it is helpful when this is happening to think of the positive things. There are people who care about you, think of them and what they would say to you if you told them you felt that way. Think of how they would assure you of your worth and importance to them. These thoughts are often temporary and distracting yourself from them can also help. If you are afraid that you might actually hurt yourself you should call 911 or crisis services to get professional help in a safe environment.

If you are having suicidal thoughts, call an ambulance or the suicide hotline. To deal with other negative thoughts, finding an outlet like art or music is a big help. If these thoughts are constantly interfering with your life, dont be afraid to speak up and talk to somebody. In the end, you'll feel better you did.

Go in front of the mirror and give a good stare and remind that voice of the strength you behold. Tell it that you are not afraid and you definitely are not backing down any soon.

I think you should tell someone, those thoughts are not easy to carry on your shoulders alone. Let someone help you.

A lot of people struggle with being told toxic things from a voice within their head. It's important to realise that the voice isn't real and doesn't reflect the truth - if this issue persists it's a good idea to see a doctor or therapist for a professional opinion.
