survival guide for people who hear and see hostile voices, and entities.

#1 when you first start hearing voices they’re gonna try to see if they can control you. It’s a power move. It might be something as simple as telling you to call in sick to work or eat a specific food. Or it could be something big like telling you to leave your wife because she’s cheating on you or to even harm yourself or others. Don’t ever do anything you wouldn’t have done before you started hearing voices. If voices give you a suggestion on something that is helpful it’s OK to do that because it’s your decision and your decision alone. You will always decide what’s best for you.

#2 all these voices do is lie and try to get you to turn against everything and everybody you love. Their goal is to isolate you so they are the only influence in your life.. surround yourself with trustworthy people and nothing else. I notice when I have trouble with a certain person they emphasize on that person and then months later, I have trouble with someone else and they emphasize on them and don’t say much about the last person. It’s just a flavor of the month for them to attack. Don’t believe anything they say.

#3 catchphrases-these are phrases they use constantly they do this so it’s easy to get your attention when they use them. They will use these catchphrases to disrupt a conversation You might be having with someone. or when you’re trying to get something done and need to focus. Locate these catchphrases they’re using on you. It might be a compliment or something that pisses you off. Once you locate these phrases, treat it like you’re busy with something and you’re getting a phone call silence it or put it on hold. There is nothing they have to say that can’t wait. They are on your time.

#4 they also mock me this is when they say what I’m thinking exactly when I think it. I only have one voice that does this the one I call mouth the other do not. When I try to explain this to people, they always say that’s your own voice, that’s why you hear it as you think it. He sounds nothing like me and one of the voices that I hear is a woman. These voices are very clever. It’s almost like they have a playbook of situations they put you in time and time again that are automatically associated with mental illness. It’s a deck of card stack just right.

#5 Fill in the blanks when they talk in riddles or start a sentence and leave it for you to finish. They are just trying To see how you feel about that situation. They are breaking you down.

#6 I know it is frustrating but don’t push your loved ones away. They cannot possibly understand what we are going through. They just love and worry about us and don’t know how to help. This is hard on everybody.

#7 Don’t let them attach themselves to situations. For example if something bad happens to you or someone you know they’re going to tell you that they are responsible for it they are not.

#8 if you need a break from

voices .Get a pair of earbuds put only one earbud in One ear listen to music at a low volume then watch TV on a higher volume Focus on what’s on TV with the music in the background this makes voices a third-party and hard to understand what they are saying. if possible, use the one earbud at work you can still communicate with people and have the music as your background.

#9 You are not alone, Go to hearing voices network. There you can find weekly zoom meetings with people that hear voices. there is no judgment there. It’s people that don’t believe it’s a mental illness. there’s also a sub on Reddit.

#10 They read You in your dreams, your insecurities, your fears and anything else they can attack. I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself having a conversation with them. I call it second shift. it’s always the same voice on second shift. The one I call gazelle he’s with me all day long too It’s like he never sleeps. Become secure with who you are and it will carry into your subconscious. you need to rebuild and become secure with who you are . Voices love to bring up your past if there’s things you have done in the past that other people thought were wrong, but it was justified to you don’t change that . if there’s things you have done in the past, and you know, they were wrong chalk it up to life experience and know that next time you’re put in that situation, you will handle it different . If you were abused in the past voices, love to have you relive that pain . you can’t change the past, but you can change your future live for today and everything else will fall in place. It’s all about taking control. I also believe this is where these intrusive thoughts and strong urges come from. I would get strong urges to commit suicide. If you have had thoughts of suicide prior to hearing voices they will latch onto that. A good friend told me that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Stay strong you are in the fight of your life don’t go down by your own hand. I realized they were planting these thought when I started having thoughts like a pedophile. I am 45 years old and have kids of my own. I have always loved kids and had a strong hate for pedophiles. So I realize these are not my thoughts and that I have never thought like this before I heard voices. It does no good to get worked up about it. Just brush it off and these thoughts will start to fade. I notice when I first get up in the morning I’m thinking about my past or what these voices are . This is second shift digging around and planting seeds . don’t jump to any conclusions when you first wake up in the morning. give yourself time to wake up take a shower eat breakfast. Get ready to start your day before you put any real thought into anything.

#11 I used to hear four voices two guys a girl and an old man. The old man was pure evil and claimed to be with the devil. I was walking through the kitchen one day, and I felt a huge vibration go through my body. It was so powerful It dropped me to one knee. I’m not really sure what it was, but ever since that day three years ago, I have never heard the old man’s voice again. I just hear the two guys and a girl. it is possible for a voice to leave.

#12 gang stalking-complete strangers come up to me all the time and say things like you gotta stay calm or glad to see you’re still surviving. Back when I used to give my voices the satisfaction of fighting with them all day I would tell them I don’t give a fuck who you are and that I would fight all of them with no shoes on. A couple weeks later I’m at work sorting out stone for the next wall we were gonna do. I see a man walking down the road with his shoes in his hand yelling where the fuck are you at? And really didn’t know who he was looking for. That’s when I realized this guy hears voices too and they want us to bump heads. Things like this would happen time and time again so if something like this happens to you. Stay calm. It’s probably somebody who hears voices too. I noticed when strangers say things to me they appear to be nervous about saying them. I believe this is what people refer to as gang stocking. just be friendly and go on your way.

#13 if you’re seeing things that are right in front of you get a laser pointer point it at what you are seeing it will go right through it. That means it’s impossible for it to hurt you. If you see your kid or loved ones turn into a demon don’t panic, it’s just an illusion. When you hear bad things on the news people say “ What were they thinking” It’s because they have no idea what we are going through. Don’t be a statistic. it only takes one situation to ruin your life. There are so many people in prison today because of voices and things they were seeing. If you own a gun, get them out of the house or lock them up and give someone else the key. The bullet is just gonna go through whatever you are seeing and could hit someone you love. I also want to stress that they don’t always look like demons. Lots of nights I would be laying in bed and I could see two men standing in the hallway. One was even on a cell phone with it lit up. Be careful with this. It looks so real. I would get up and check the whole house. There would never be anybody there. It’s just an illusion. this is not a fight that can be won physically. It’s all mentally it has to come from within.

#14 seeing things in windows and reflections-I’ve seen a lot of things in windows, like people, demons and even aliens. When this happens, they make themselves sound like they’re right outside or in the next room totally different from how I hear them in my head all day long. It even sounds like they’re tapping on the window or banging on the wall. I’ve been through a lot with this sometimes it would even sound like my wife or daughter was screaming for help in the other room. I would run in there and they would always be fine. After this happened so many times you realize that it’s just a mindfuck and an illusion like everything else. also when I look in the mirror, my face changes sometimes.they’re gonna try to convince you that you’re something you’re not it’s all an illusion with a mental illness tag attached to it.like I said before a deck of cards stacked just right. A lot of things cast reflections so if it gets to be too much and you need a break just read a book or do a crossword puzzle Nothing reflects off the pages. at first, you’re gonna wanna not take your eyes off it don’t worry nothing is gonna happen. It’s just a reflection. You will find this out in time..

#15 fading to black-I see things every day, but sometimes it gets real intense and it can last for days. This usually only happens once or twice a year. I faded to black for three days over Easter weekend and for the first time, I heard new voices and they were looking for a fight. They were claiming to be sons of the devil .I could hear what sounded like recordings of people talking about me like things that I have done Most of them were not true. When I sat on the toilet in the bathroom it looked like it was infested with rats. I could see them crawling on the sink and all over the floor. I could see people in blue cloaks running around outside the house way too fast to be human. I went to smoke a cigarette in the garage and I saw a man dressed in black. His face was white like chalk with a black swirl on it. And he had the coldest eyes I have ever seen. They were pitch black. He would just stand there and sometimes smile at me. On the third night, I heard these loud bells coming from the backyard. So I went to see what it was. There was a tall man in a robe with antlers holding a book. I told him I would have nothing to do with any evil, and he walked away. I could fill a book with experiences like I’m talking about. Recently I was laying on the couch and I heard voices say are you ready for Easter weekend again? Then I started to hear new voices and they were looking for a fight. I’ve been down this road so many times before so this time I told myself I wasn’t gonna let these voices get me worked up. So I closed my eyes and thought about things that make me happy. Like being in the yard with my kids on a summer day and remembering the first time I held them in my arms when they were born. I had my eyes closed and I begin to see a Smoky haze of different colors. I have seen Haze like this before, but it’s usually just blue. This time it was green, yellow, and purple. And then it started to show me ancient Egypt, and how they lived and things to do with the universe. I would see different entities, smiling, and waving at me and a feeling of peace and love. it was an amazing experience. I realize now when this energy comes strong it adapts to what you put out. It’s these voices job to get you worked up with fear and hate so this energy can attach in a negative way. Now that I know this, I will no longer fade to black only light. I believe that this energy that is with us now uses our eyes like projectors that’s why it works good on windows and can adapt to anything with a base and build on it. It’s also why you can’t grab it and you go through it like a hologram. and it’s also why no one else can see it.

#16 today I am living my best life. I work a full-time job love spending time with friends and family and people can’t tell that I hear voices unless I tell them it’s all about finding balance. hearing voices can happen to anybody .I personally didn’t- start hearing voices until after my 40th birthday. It is so hard to find real help for this the only way you can truly understand it is if you have gone through it. If you know somebody who could use this, please pass it on. and always remember never do anything you wouldn’t have done before you started hearing voices.
