AppleCrumble Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hey, Sounds like a good idea to visit your GP although they're very unlikely to section you. They very rarely section people nowadays it's not like the 60s anymore. Be more worried that they'll do nothing which is more annoying. I get those constant thoughts of hurting myself or my hubby. Violent thoughts, and I take no medication for it. Is the voice your own with your own thoughts or are they someone elses voice saying your thoughts or are they a strangers voice/different accent that is saying abstract things? They might refer you to CBT to help you think away the thoughts and rationalise them. That's quite a common first line of action. I'd mention losing your baby last year as it sounds as if you need to deal with that and then they might suggest counselling. Try what they offer you though, treatments cam be helpful. Sorry to hear you are struggling at present. Definitely make an appointment to see the GP though, even if it's just so it's on your record to say you are finding things difficult.

SoppyCow96 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 thank you for replying AC i am worried they will do nothing or think nothings wrong thats another thing on my mind. Sometimes i have thoughts of hurting my bf when im angry but idont know why because i dont want to hurt him.the voice is my own one and says my thoughts i think it picks at things i think about to use to hurt me like planting images in my head or putting me down all the time or giving me vivid dreams ..etc..thank you for the support ill defo bring myself to make an appointment on monday hope you are doing okay xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppleCrumble Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yeah mine voice is my own which isn't much easier to cope with than someone else's voice but it varies in its persistence dependent on stress and mood etc. Sometimes I can talk/think over it but when I was in a bad place a month ago I struggled to concentrate at all. I'm ok thanks, i had a burst of energy/enthusiasm to clean the bathroom for two hours yesterday but not really feeling like doing anythinv today. Said I'd take someone ice skating this afternoon so will have to put my happy face on and play along. Didn't get a jigsaw out yesterday so willl try that this evening. Have a report to write for work/my studies but not really feeling like it :-( Hope your GP is helpful, update the post on how it goes. You up to much today? xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoppyCow96 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 glad to know im not the only one with this voice i sometimesfind it hard to concentrate on things when my brain really plays up its difficult. i used to spend six hours drawing a picture to take my mind off of things but that doesnt seem to work anymore.i dont feel like doing anything to day either at least you got some of the cleaning done i love iceskating i wanna take my fella one day but dont think they will have his she size. i hope you get the energy later on to do your work. good luck with the report!

Data Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think you should go to the doctor and be honest. They are very unlikely to section you. Taking medication can help. Medication is not always addictive. Some people hear voices because they have a psychosis, and sometimes medication can help with that. Other times, the voice is really your own thoughts and feelings that are troubling you. In that case, some form of talking therapy like counselling, or psychotherapy might help, but in the meantime medication can make you feel calmer and perhaps help the therapy work better.

Pickle59 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (((SC))) Its good you now have an appointment, but if in the meantime it becomes an emergency please go and sit in surgery! At my GP's practice they will see you without an appointment, on the day, as long as you are prepared to wait around.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
