Hi @Former-Member
Thank you for your response. The voices were very real I don't believe they were hallucinations/delusions because they were independent from my own thoughts and I could even hold conversations with them, but I could not escape them and yes some were bad shouting at me.
Earlier this month they returned the bad one's did but I relaxed on the couch and instead of resisting them I silently held onto peace and they disappeared and have not returned. I hadn't heard them since 2019. In the past I would really fight with them but this time I just relaxed and held onto peace.
I was diagnosed A.D.D in 2000 and took medication for three months and I used to smoke cannabis but stopped in 2010. I started hearing voices in 2015. Thanks for the advice I'll listen to music and eat for increasing dopamine. Haven't quit coffee or smoking tobacco. I have tried but found it very challenging.
Thank you for sharing your own story also it's all very interesting but I do believe the voices are very real I don't know if what you heard were real people but wouldn't be so quick to write it off completely as delusions because they are definitely something I also heard voices that I thought were real people pastor's and my girlfriend and people I listen to on the internet I can't prove if it was or not but things they've said were also things the spirits (voices) were saying.
