My adult son has started hearing voices and talking back to them in the last few months, it got particularly bad coming up to Christmas with him shouting at them all to leave him alone and (eff) (sorry for the language) off. Then banging his bedroom walls in frustration when he is alone.
Its disconcerting to say the least, he is seeing someone once a week for CBT (he has seen them twice now) it seems to help when he expresses himself to them. I found a local hearing voices group which he went to earlier this week and he said he will go next week.
But he will not talk to me about it at all though I try to be accepting he just seems to judge himself and the voices really harshly and is afraid of my reaction (I think) either way he refuses to speak to me about it.
I just found myself crying for a little while and wanted some support really and to see if there is anyone in the same boat as me, Hello and thanks for this forum btw.
