Scared
I know it feels real. I know they say bad things, don't listen to them They aren't real. They will lie and tell you horrible things, ignore them.
When the voices come I try to focus on whats real. Your husband is real, you are real. This chat room is real. If they are yelling at you or telling you bad things. Do not listen to them, listen to all the wonderful people here and your husband. They aren't real, don't listen to them I can't say that enough.
I don't know what your on but anti-psychotics take time to kick in, as do anti depressants. This will pass with time if your on medication, if it persist get to a doctor ASAP.
You're not crazy you have a medical problem is all. You are like anyone else you just need medication and support to help you. Don't ever let anyone tell you different.

It is lovely that your niece is having a baby...
Here in Australia we have a 24 hour mental health support line, for exactly that, for when meds need adjustments and other stuff. They can actually come to you.
Do you have that in Scotland?

the voices fuel it as well

my nieces are now gone ...the thoughts are getting worse and i feel like i need to drink ...my husband is keeping an eye on me got my AA meeting at 8pm
my husband said i need to focus on other things like exercise and prayer ( he isnt religious but he says am more grounded after i pray ) the exercise i can do is a cross trainer, i can also use a treadmill at the gym i have the cross trainer at home in the spare room
If i keep myself busy i will not be thinking about it so much
but i know once am in bed ill think about it more
so am unsure what to do then

Dark Asylum I hope you are in a safe place right now and that you are starting to feel better. If you aren't feeling better, or things get worse you promise me that you will seek help. Emergency room or doctor asap.
You are not alone, I know how scary it is that you are hearing things and having bad thoughts. Believe me there is hope! Those thought your having are horrific I know, but don't let them take over. Stay here with us, you are safe and most definitely not a bad person in the least.
Gosh I hope you are feeling better and safe right now. Update when you can on how you feel, and don't hesitate to get help if you think you need it.... Be well!
