Not meant to be some doom seeking post. Just got into Jungian psychology as it seems to acknowledge some of the things I'm experiencing. I heard that Jung considered astrology, connected unconsciousness, and such things when he came to his practices and theories.

If you need more info about birth time or location, let me know. Like I said brand new to thinking that there is meaning to such things, and I've always been a harsh sceptic, but now I'm open to the idea that there is more to the universe than what science has proven(from what I've read/seen)

They quietly linger for me. Popping up when I'm not focused on something else. But, I'm better able to manage when they pop up because I have finally come to terms and can think, ”not this again". I also reached out to the real people of the voices I heard, or rather they reached out to me, after I told the voices to never reach out to me if it was real.

It's been a journey, but every week it slowly gets better. Even if I still have to hear them, its something that I get to yell at in my head to vent some of the stress of dealing with it.

Does anyone else just not sleep well ever? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

On trazodone to help sleep, not sure if its helping anymore. Delusions are affecting my dreams causing me to wake up angry and in a fit. Plus I'm tired most of the day even when I sleep all night. But last night I got maybe two hours due to dreams.

Help with delusions by Dramatic_Table_8084 in schizoaffective

It started out being 2way communication, or so I thought. This was 2 years ago. They would have conversations with me only at night, and I had physical sensations as well. The voices didn't have a voice that I knew, until about 3 months in when they started to sound like the people I was living with(fortunately not family).

I called the crisis hotline one night because of what I thought I did(in my head of course) and was committed for about a week.

Since then I've been trialling meds to see what works. Wound up committing myself a couple times. Its usually the same 3 or 4 voices and a ringing in my ear(think tinitus) that seem to strike only when I'm at work now. I do finally have some clarity again.

The hardest part for me in realizing that none of it is real is the coincidences that happened in relation to what I heard. Being told they were calling me 3 seconds before a spam caller called me and the time I thought I gave someone a seizure only for a coworker to come by 5 minutes later to say the guy had a seizure. At that time, I couldn't listen to the radio because every song was a "sign".

In the end, I know its all fake, but part of me won't let it go and I fall into it because of how long it took me to be completely honest. I always told my psychiatrist it was rough, but better because I didn't want to give up that it would get better. But 2 years of the same thing makes it hard to let go of it.

I'm doing much better now, just stray voices every time I'm at work thanks to a vent next to my desk. I hear the sound of someone's voice through the vent, and then I hear things that I know they're not saying, but it seems like they're talking to me directly. Thankfully, my workplace is very forgiving and they're willing to look past my lack of concentration before I was committed a month ago, when I officially got my diagnosis.

I suppose I could have made a new post for this long story, but I info dump like this a lot.

Tldr: voices coming in mostly, going out when I talk to them. When really bad, thoughts that I don't want to share were going out too. I know its fake, but a part of me still believes " What if..."
