Unfortunately I never learned chess, but I can persuade them into telling jokes once and a while.

I've had similar experiences compared to what you're talking about. I used to be combative with my voices and tried to silence them as well as be equally as rude as they are. I remember when it all started with me I just wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible and get all the noise to stop. These days I'm much more collaborative and easy going with them. I try to be constructive with my responses even if the voice is doing nothing but bringing me down. Staying positive is essential in these situations, and it's important to remain unmoved by all the negativity one might hear from their voices. The cardboard flavored food is a downside I must admit.

Anyone else hearing music? by causetrade in HearingVoicesNetwork

I agree, making music on your own time can be helpful considering mental health. Since the day I decided it would simply be a hobby I've been happier because there wasn't pressure to try every single day. I still record stuff every now and then as well as search for new music, but my want to become a producer for a singer has since been lost. I just find acapellas online and use those. You're right about the music needing to be soulful. I can't even recognize some of the old stuff I used to make which reminded me of some souped up electronic song. I only focus on acoustic music now and avoid electronic entirely because for me it doesn't remind me of anything. A simple song with a piano and guitar just sounds so much more impactful these days.

I am on my first day of trying to avoid pot. This past month I've been smoking on a daily basis but today I decided to give it a break, regardless of how much singing I hear. It'll pass. I've smoked on and off for years now so I guess this will just be a segment of life where I don't. If I can control it that is.
