I have met this girl last year at a local store. We hanged out couple of times.
Whole life she has been going through a lot of "drama", she was struggling if she was gay or not since she was a kid, and told me that when she was 14 she wanted even to commit suicide because of that. And she just let her parents know that she is different, which got them ballistic, her mother left the country because of that and it does not seem they accept her too well.(trying to change her).
On top of that, she told me that for a long time she has been hearing voices, calling her name, talking between themselves (example: "we need to tell her the truth. She is not ready yet... ; do not hide from us, we are there... we know how you feel... we know everything about you... etc)
Because of that, she is being treated by doctors for (schizophrenia & chronical depression), she says pills help her not to hear voices...
Weird part is... She says that when she is near me or hangs out with me.. she does not hear the voices for couple of days... And for some reason, she strongly believes that I can help her to resolve the issue with voices.
Now what kind of alerts me:
- It's very strange circumstances that we have "met" each other. I mean... so many customers and she starts talking to me.
- She "opened" herself very quickly (as far as telling her story)
- She considered me to be her best friend after 2 months of knowing each other (knowing, not hanging out) and now she is constantly reminds me of that... almost feels like she is attempting to guilt-trip me.
- When I talk to her... it almost seems something is missing inside of her. I mean, she seems like she understand and listens to things... Says that she is on the "side of good"... But at the same time... I get the feeling that she does not listen and understand anything said, and everything basically just goes through her without a trace, she almost feels like "empty"..
- She loves to call me to tell me about her "serious" problems... which I do not think problems at all.. Seems like she loves to create problems out of nothing and try to make me believe that she has a problem.
- She will do what she thinks is best without any regret or much concern to others, she does not feel guilty if she has done something wrong.
Thing is.. She expects me to help her to resolve her issues with voices. Honestly, I do not know how to help her much, other than to give her support. but at the same time I feel something is very "wrong" about it and the whole situation
Can someone recommend how it's possible to help person who hears voices ? How to deal with that ?
