Friend is depressed and hearing voices
    #26513666 - 03/02/20 10:01 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

I'm with my friend and he is hearing voices telling him he should kill himself and that he doesn't deserve to be happy, that he is responsible for his dad's death, who died 3 years ago at 83 from natural causes, me and him are probably gonna be up all night discussing this and I wanna help, I too am a diagnost schizophrenic who hears voices but they only once or twice told me to hurt myself, and I don't think they were serious, just testing me, what are some incouraging, uplifting things we can add to this?
                                                            I've suggested the Buddhas 5 steps to overcoming unwholesome thoughts which if the first doesn't work try the next: 1,try to think of opposite,  wholesome thoughts, 2,examine the negative things about those unwholesome thoughts, 3, try to forget those unwholesome thoughts, 4,try stilling the thoughts/ meditating, 5,crush mind with mind, with teeth clinched and the tongue pressed to the roof of your mouth resist those thoughts.                              Even though me and him have been through many psychiatrist type experiences I'm not very good at helping in these situations, much help appreciated!

Have natural psychedelics helped you with schizophrenia short/long term; if they have in which ways?  Hope they've helped! & all the best to both of you!

  I'm not going to pretend I have an ounce of an idea on how to properly improve/control schizophrenic symptoms, however it never hurts to surround yourself with positive things. GOOD music, GOOD food & drink, RELAXED setting at home (no tv, no phones)

For me personally psychedelics increased my symptoms, lots of 2c-i andsalvia ect ect, my friend on the other hand devoloped symptom's before using, in fact he's never even done shrooms or acid,,, however he smokes a fair amount of cannibis these days and even earlier today he smoked up, which I think put him in a bad trip which started out as good.
