By some twisted logic, they claim it is saving my life or helping me or something.

My neighbours harass me but I am not going to stand for it. They are gonna f-ing regret it.

Meds don't work and why would they when actual people say stuff that I have recorded as evidence to myself that I am not completely crazy.

Maybe I should be posting in a gangstalking subReddit or something but I was led to believe I was mentally ill so long I associate with Schizophrenics .

Perhaps I will get locked up in the looney bin but at this point I don't care.

They want me to lie to my psychiatrist

They say I will die if I tell the truth.. They have given me heart pain before and other sensations so I don't know what to do. Advice please.

I feel like I made a deal with the devil and made a big mistake. By “the devil,” I mean the voices I hear, which lie, deceive, break their word, and have openly admitted that they intend to continue doing so. I believe these voices are truly evil, like the devil.

They know that I believe in God and that I would not knowingly break a promise I made to God. They used this against me. They made me promise God to accept an unnecessary restriction on my life in exchange for the voices stopping.

But the voices did not keep their end of the bargain. They have continued, and they have openly admitted that they will continue.

Now they tell me that I made a promise to God and that I must keep it. Quite frankly, I find it extremely difficult—almost impossible—to break a promise to God, even though the circumstances under which I made it were deceptive and the other party did not keep their side of the agreement.

So here I am, feeling as though I was tricked by the devil—the voices—into giving up part of my freedom.

My advice to anyone in a similar situation is: Do not trust voices, and do not make deals or promises to voices under any circumstances. If voices make you an offer or demand that you promise something in exchange for them stopping, do not agree to it.

I am considering talking to God and asking for this restriction to be lifted, because the other party did not keep its end of the bargain and the promise was made under deception.

I just want to say that I hope you'll seek professional help. Going to the hospital is an option you should seriously consider. They can assess you and, if needed, admit you to help keep you safe until this crisis passes.

As for me, I refuse to let this illness have the final say. I've lived with schizophrenia for 15 years, and although I'm currently going through the worst mental health crisis I've ever experienced, I've also experienced periods of genuine relief. Because of that, I still have hope that things can improve again.

Personally, I won't consider committing suicide for various reasons, including my fear of death, my family, my appreciation for the simple things/beauty that still exists in life and my love of God. I know not everyone shares my beliefs.

Please know that your life has value, there is hope, and you deserve to live, despite what your brain—or perhaps society or other people—may be telling you. There is hope, even if you can't see it at the moment, and you deserve the chance to find another path through this.

I hope you'll keep fighting and choose life. God bless you.

Does this happen to you? Damn voices put me on edge. They comment on my every thought and make me scared to relax and think normally. Crazy stuff comes out because I'm so paranoid people are listening. Oh well... voices and thought broadcasting!

As the title

For over a month now, the voices have been giving me daily death threats. They often come with physical sensations too, like heart pain, which makes them feel incredibly convincing in the moment.

The frustrating part is that I'm usually the first person to tell others: never trust what the voices say. Yet when it comes to death threats, I still find myself getting pulled into the fear. I feel like I should know better by now.

Has anyone else been through this? If so, at what point did you stop believing the threats or stop reacting to them with fear? What helped you get there?

As the title says.

They lie, trick, and deceive. They may promise they'll stop if you agree to do, say, or even think certain things, but they're just lying. They may tell you they're trying to help you, but don't believe it. They're not helping you.

I just wanted to let you know this in case you're new to hearing voices. It can take time to realise that the promises they make are empty and that they often try to manipulate you. Don't let them convince you that you have to do what they say.

Voices are evil. They want me to commit suicide, they want me to accept a miserable life, they want me to abandon God, they threaten me with pain and death. They trick me at every turn. I am literally at war with the devil. With God on my side maybe I'll win the seemingly unwinnable. BTW, meds aren't working, apparently will take 3 to 4 months to help.

People with schizophrenia were having children long before schizophrenia was identified as a medical condition. I don't believe it's inherently unethical for someone with schizophrenia to become a parent.

The idea that people with schizophrenia shouldn't have children assumes that a life with schizophrenia is not worth living. I don't agree with that. While schizophrenia can be a very serious illness, many people living with it still find meaning, happiness, love, and purpose. Personally, I'd rather have lived with schizophrenia than never have existed at all. I know some people with the illness feel differently, and I respect that, but they don't speak for everyone.

There is also no guarantee that a child of a parent with schizophrenia will develop the condition. Although the risk is higher than in the general population, most children of parents with schizophrenia do not develop it. Likewise, people with no family history can still develop schizophrenia. Genetics increase risk, but they do not determine someone's future.

I read schizophrenia affects roughly 0.3% to 0.7% of the population. That's millions of people worldwide. Should all of them be discouraged from having children because of an increased risk? If we apply that principle consistently, where would we draw the line? Many medical conditions and disabilities have a hereditary component, yet we generally believe people should be free to make their own reproductive choices.

Medical care also continues to improve. Better medications, therapies, early intervention, and support services mean that many people with schizophrenia today can lead fuller lives than was possible in the past. Future advances may further reduce the impact of the illness.

Ultimately, I believe the decision to have children should be based on an individual's circumstances, their ability to care for a child, and informed personal choice, not simply on a diagnosis. Having schizophrenia alone does not make someone incapable of being a loving or responsible parent, nor does it mean their future child is destined to have the illness.

I don't know much about gangstalking. Would anyone care to share how they think it is done?
