Re: I dont have anyone i can talk to
@Miss_S, sounds like a rough time! You won't know how long your partner is away for either by the sounds of things, which would be worrying you too. Alcohol and ciggies probably aren't the best coping mechanism at the moment, as alcohol is a depressant and cigarettes can effect the amount of some medications in your blood and how effective they work.
As you've seen in my previous threads, I'm a voice hearer too, so I can relate to what you experience. It can be very harrowing and all you want to do is escape the voices. I was crying a lot in private last night, but I find shedding tears does help... do you find the same, or do you find it just makes you feel worse?
Have you thought about joining a support group for those with mental health conditions? I find these can be a great avenue of learning about yourself and your illness, as well as finding support and making friendships. I'd be lost without mine (although I haven't gone in a long long time!).
