This is fantastic! I didn't expect too much, but this is all amazingly helpful advice.
And as far as the medication goes, I agree. I totally need to watch what I do with this. But......I'm barely a young adult and I don't think I can talk or even mention more about my treatment plan (my parents are in control of it, they wouldn't want me posting what they've set up for me to a place where the whole world can see.
299.i.319, you're absolutely right. I do hear auditory voices ALL the time. It's like people following and surrounding me and constantly telling me to listen to them. This gets super annoying at times, especially when you're dealing with it wherever you go and at whatever time it is (I've gotten used to it, but it hasn't been easy for me to live with while reading, watching TV, and having friends talk to me).
There were certain things going on around December of 2015, when the voices started. I started reading things against my family's religion, started believing in a few New Age things, and I started to really explore some strange things that I don't feel like sharing.I also got really happy at times, it seems like, but might have been because of everything I was probably doing.
I remember first hearing things like my name or someone sighing or snickering, while my feelings and actions were a little bizarre. Looking back on things, I feel I was gullible on the Internet.
I never had intentions of inviting spirits, but based on what CrystalSong said, I might have attracted these spirits based on how I was feeling or doing at the time.
But again, a lot of what you guys have said appears to be information I can definitely use. Thanks a lot for replying!
By the way 299.i.319, OTT sounds interesting. When I read what you said about him, I looked him up. Now I'm writing this while listening to his music...it's kind of relaxing!
