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?

I suggest you call a hotline, http://Imalive.org. also talk to friends/family about it. and if possible get a therapist!

Stop listening to the voice The world need people like you you don't want to die think of what you will lose think of what they lose

When I have felt that way, I’ve found it helpful to think of times when I haven’t thought those things and try to see what’s different about this situation. It helps me to see that I’m not always going to feel this way.

Please see a doctor immediately and tell them all it is you are feeling and hearing. Please do not hurt yourself, you are not hated.

Avoid it and most importantly seek help talk to someone you think will surely help you Our team here is present for you just feel free to give us a chance

Try and realise the voice is wrong, tell somebody about this and try to rationalise the situation. No matter what though don't harm yourself, that's not an answer. You are important.

Block it out. Tell it no you are wrong! Get out of my head! Tell yourself you are beautiful and you are kind and amazing

Just Breathe deeply and repeat to your self:“ I’m Beautiful And I’m worth everything, I have people who love me, I have great things waiting for me, and I have days and days to look forward too!” Another thing to do is trying fun little activities! Such as bakimg, drawing, dancing, singing, basically anything that you find entertaining and fun! By doing those things, it really helps distract you from bad things and it puts our state of mind remain calm and peaceful. Yoga is also a nice way to relieve tension and stress the mind is giving you.

Do NOT listen to it and seek professional help so that they can get you the proper help you need. I'm sure not everyone hates you, we all have someone who loves us even if you do not know about it. Stay strong, okay?

Being able to single out that voice is an important first step. What I find to be more helpful then, is to try to integrate that thought within a wider frame that includes a positive response to those negative thoughts. This is the most effective strategy I have tried so far and I thank my therapist very much for it. I used to battle those thoughts, but even if I won a battle, they would come back. On the other hand, by accepting these thoughts' message, but confronting them with pertinent objections, you begin a dialogue that allows you to play with that negative energy and somehow change it, even flip it. For example, if the voice says "everyone hates you" an objection could be "ok, you say everyone hates me, but what is the evidence for it? Because when I think of it, I remember occasions in which people in my life told me and/or showed me they loved me. So, maybe there is people who hates me, but certainly not everybody." In the end, the fact that everyone might hate you is probably a real concern of yours, so why not address it like you would if a friend came to you saying "everyone hates me". You'd understand the concern is real, but the thought it stems from has no confirmation in reality.
