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?

Don’t listen to them. Ignore them and get help. This can be caused for several reasons. I will try to be positive and tell my head to start thinking positive. Such as going outside and expressing life. Another thing is to tell someone about them cause this is something that should be concerning. By listening to these thoughts will make all the more worst so try to do things that make you happy and tell them to your family. If they continue try to go the the doctor or a therapist for this but besides that you should remain positive and ignore the negative thoughts.

When I'm hurting, my inner voice can say hurt things. I try to remember that the upset words are just like a grumbling stomach - they just show me that I'm hungry for something. So then I try to listen quietly inside myself. I ask, "What are these negative words secretly yearning for?" What does the negative thought ache to experience? So if I'm telling myself, "I should kill myslef," maybe that voice is crying inside because actually I'm aching for kind, supportive friendship in my life. Or if I'm telling myself, "I should kill myself," maybe it's actually that I'm hurting so badly, and really want to find my joy in life. By finding these underlying core values behind the negative words, now I can do things to feed that core value. I can make a request. I can go online to 7cups to find kind friendships. Or I can ask other people what they do for joy. But most importantly, I remind myself that the negative words are just a grumble. My job is to find out what I'm hungry for, and then ask for that.

There is a proper definition for this: self-sabotaging behavior. Self-sabotage happens when we adopt a vocabulary that focuses on failure, negative traits and so on. Most of the time we fall into the trap of adopting a poor language (also inner language) as we label ourselves. The "basic" secret is to try divert our labeling actions — instead of labeling ourselves in general, we detach our words. I AM NOT a mess, I'm coping with some mess. I'm not a mistake, I made a mistake. This way we can overcome the total identification that occurs between ourselves and what we are going through.

You are not your thoughts. Detach yourself from these thoughts. When you identify yourself with these thoughts, you can feel very upset. Our minds can say pretty negative things about ourselves. It is one of the things our minds naturally do. It might help to visualise your mind as an untamed monkey, spouting mean things to you. When it starts spouting negative things, don't take it personally. Just view those thoughts as they are without judgment as they appear in your awareness, and let them go. Your monkey mind does not know better what to say, so just leave it to do it's own thing without identifying yourself to what it is saying.

I would seek out mental health services, or professionals in the mental health services. Going to the experts that have spent their life helping those that have the same thoughts and voice as you do. I know from personal experience that seeking out help with therapists or other professionals can really help. Getting help for issues like this is an important step, a very brave step, in your mental health journey. Perhaps talking to a trusted family member, or someone that you are close to, about the thoughts that you have occasionally, might be helpful as well.

It seems to me that what you may be experiencing is part of schizophrenia, the best way to approach this is professional help, another way to go about it by yourself would be to analyze the root cause of these feelings, anything that is hurting you consciously? Is there a certain event in your life that has brought about these feelings? I have come across a few such scenarios and I have heard that diverting you mind when this voice appears seems like a good way to, have you tried listening to music or read? and I would like to assure you that everyone does not hate you, the world is a big place and I assure you that you have your loved ones and our community to support you

This is very common in people who are suffering from anxiety and depression. Healthy coping mechanism #1: try to relax. You can do this by practicing breathing techniques, taking a warm, relaxing bath/shower etc. Healthy coping mechanism #2: shift your focus on something else, distract yourself. You can do some form of physical exercise, for example take a walk or go for a run. If you like to cook or have some other hobby that you enjoy doing, then try spending time with that. Or find new activities/hobbies that you might enjoy. The key here is to occupy your brain and stop it from throwing negativity at you. Healthy coping mechanism #3: positive sentences/mantras. They can strenghten your self-confidence and can help develop a more positive way of thinking. Try to turn your attention to good things that make you happy, because they are great for relieving tension. +1: A conscious lifestyle can effectively manage anxiety and can greatly reduce the discomfort caused by stress. Drink a lot of water, eat healthy food, exercise, have a sleeping schedule and so on.

Try to tell somone about how you feel, its always positive to let out your emotions by telling somone. Try to distract yourself in the meantime with things that you enjoy to take your mind off of these thoughts. Remember that you are loved and that not everyone hates you , you can't please everyone but you can't make everyone hate you . From my own personal experience I realised that maybe I hated myself , if I ever felt like maybe i didn't deserve to live i counted to ten and wrote a list about all the people who would miss me and what I would miss.

That seems like a really stressful issue. I can see that you are very concerned about it, and want to make steps to improve. You know best when it comes to you, and you don't need to take any advice from me but may I ask have you met with a therapist? There are some great ones available online at 7 cups. I would be happy to refer you. But, if you are considering killing yourself, I would need to refer you to the suicide hotline as we would not have the capacity at 7 cups to provide you with suicide-related resources.

Ignore the voices, it is your self-conscious telling you these thinks. Nobody hates you, and your mind automatically goes to killing yourself. Your mind isn’t always correct, especially with this situation. I have a negative voice sometimes which tells me to do something I don’t want to. What I do is take a few deep breaths, relax and move my mind to my happy place, such as the beach. Try some meditating, it helps clear the mind of these annoying voices. If someone in particular is upsetting you, remove them as fully as your can from your life. They aren’t worth it, trust me.
