Melissa,
I honestly don't know how to ignore the sounds I hear. They are too loud for me to do that. I can't see, so there is nothing I can focus my attention on when I'm in bed ready to go to sleep.
By the way, I asked someone I know who is knowledgeble about hallucinations if this is what it might be and they said no given the fact that I can't understand what is being said.
That's a relief to me because I'm taking an antipsychotic for my voices and I was afraid that it was no longer working.
