The voices tell me to take drugs.

The voices in my head tell me to take drugs. I am the child of a drug addict, and they keep saying things like the cycle must go on. That I cannot break a cycle. That this is my destiny. That I cannot unsee what I've seen. That I'm damaged goods. That I cannot win.

So I started smoking cannabis in the end. Now they are pushing me to move onto stronger drugs.

They tell me I mustn't tell anyone they are there or they will lock me up. I see my psychiatrist in two days and I'm worried he will see.

Hello, that is horrible for you. Lots of people get voices and quite a proportion of them hear them saying horrible destructive ones like yours. The voices have no power over you or your future but I guess it is like having a horrible person talking to you constantly - you just feel battered down by it.
I think it is good you are seeing your psychiatrist in two days, do you feel like you can let them know what is happening for you? I guess they would focus more on using antipsychotic drugs to stop the voices.
Other people understand voices more as a reaction to stress or trauma and if your parent was a drug addict then maybe that was pretty traumatic for you?
www.hearing-voices.org
are a good group of people.
Wishing you lots of love and luck and hope you feel better soon x x

Seek help. Do as mumsnet has suggested and contact groups from their advice page to get the help you need. Hearing- voices .org may help you too but see your psychiatrist as well.
Take care.

The mental health web guide link just above where your subject heading is, may be of some use to you.
