Hey! I think I might understand some of what you are saying. I've been really stressed out with everything recently and I don't really know why. I have some exams coming  up in January and I've got loads of school work to do and I think school's what started it.

I also have been getting voices, but it sounds a bit different to you. It's more like ME telling myself the stuff, not someone else. But I'm always saying My life is a mess. And I'm a failure. Sometimes other stuff too.

My family sounds quite different to yours. My dad only seems to care about my education and getting good grades and I don't get on very well with him. I get on well with my mum, although it can be strange sometimes because we have REALLY similar personalities and my mum can tell EVERYTHING about me.

My sister...that's a whole other story! We used to get on quite well but we have so many differences now. And she's more dominant that me, even though I'm older. My brother is quite a bit younger than me and we don't really have much in common and stuff. I don't argue with either of them, but I'm not really an arguing person. I usually wait till later and then cry by myself.

James, you are not alone in this. I know you can get through it. Try to tell the voices that they are wrong. Whatever the voice says, you have to contradict it. I know it's hard. I usually find just leaving everything and everyone alone and doing whatever makes me happy works to clear my mind. I usually listen to music.

Sorry for going on a bit.

Hiya,

I feel almost exactly the same, so you are most definitely not alone, and if you ever need to talk, I'm here if you need it.

And if it helps my brother is exactly the same. It's like it never stops!

Hope I Helped
