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?

Hearing a voice may be a medical condition like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. One should see a doctor to be diagnosed. Once one is diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, the appropriate medication can be prescribed. One will most likely started on the lowest dose of a medication. Then, the medication will be titrated [increased]. Blood work will have to be performed before the medication is started. Blood work will have to be performed every time the medication is increased. One should record the medication dosage and the medication side effects in a journal. One should take the journal to show the doctor.

You can ask objective questions from the voice like who hates u? how do u know that the person hates u? Is it fact or opinion? and try to treat it like a little child throwing tantrums and not getting angry. I know it is hard to talk back and it may seem very likely that what the voice is saying is true but please don't believe it, You are much better, likable, and important than it says u are. If u find refuting it hard then write down the things it is saying it will help u look at them objectively.

You should deffentily tell someone about those thoughts. Normally I would reccomend volunteerly admitting yourself to a psychatric ward immeditally witch is basically saying call the cops on yourself. Pychatrist, pyschologist and therapist that are trained to help with those thoughts can't fix your life for you. So It is up to you to fix what may be causing those thoughts. If there is no clear reason at all, then you most likely need somone in a medical backround to intervine. As I said from the start though you should tell someone. Anyone, don't have those kinds of thoughts and be alone with them, because you aren't.

I, too, have negative thoughts pop up in my head, and at times feel that life is too much and it would be better if I ended it. One thing I learned from a therapist is that most of the time it is not that we want to end our life, but we want to stop the emotional pain and change the situation we are in. Connecting with someone you trust and a therapist would be a good place to work through your thoughts and feelings. Of note is also whether you these are thoughts in your head versus actually hearing a voice talk to you that is not there. Either way, if you are feeling low, talk to your doctor and seek a therapist you connect with.

Remind yourself that that voice in your head isn't yours. It's not truly how you feel about yourself; only how external factors have made you feel about yourself throughout your life. Like people or experiences. If the past had a voice, this would be it. Be gentle and kind with yourself. Love and accept all parts of yourself and recognize your true value and what you're capable of. Remember how powerful you are. Remember what you deserve and that you have everything you need to give yourself what you deserve. Remember that there are people who do value and support you, even if you don't know them
