I always ignored mine, and listened to Christian radio, Christian music constantly to drowned them out...I also read the bible to know Gods word and to be on the good guys side, and to know the truth. Eventually yes things got better, things got worse But then God's power was miraculous! And I found the way to Heaven, over time I clung to Jesus and I started hearing Heavenly Angels singing and the enemy tries to get me through other schizophrenics instead, But God! Greater is He who is In me than he who is in the world! Now it's beautiful, there is more light than darkness, and I know that I am saved and that I am going to Heaven!

Best advice I was ever given by a psychiatrist was to not engage with them. Even to tell them to shut up, just let them go through unacknowledged etc.

Easy said and 20 years on still work in progress with a variable rate of success for me.

I would suggest a flip over the shoulder.

My voices won't even talk to me anymore 😒

That’s a mind struggle
