I know you're on meds but I think if the voices are really loud its probably worth seeing your doctor or therapist again as soon as you can.

I'm glad you're not paying attention to them tho

I hope you have a peaceful and happy Yule

You’re doing great recognizing the voices as detrimental and ignoring them.
Sounds like having a nice coffee while your husband shops is a good idea. Crowds and busy places stress me out too.

I'm glad that you know not to listen to the voices, but maybe you should talk to your doctor about it. I don't like the Christmas crowds much either, but sitting and having a coffee sounds like a good compromise.

Yes, don't listen to the voices. I have them, too. And they're always telling me to do something bad so I don't listen to them. Ignore them I guess.
You're right, they have no control over us unless we let them and we won't do that, ok?

You're going to be all right. Just keep taking your meds and we'll get through this.
I'm sorry about your dad. I lost mine too.

Best to you and do keep posting please.
