Voice Collective’s project manager, Rachel Waddingham, speaks in a video interview about her experiences of becoming overwhelmed with voices and her recovery.
No matter how bad things get, recovery and healing is always possible.
We’re all unique - that’s why I like meeting people. Carbon copies are overrated :)

It sometimes feels safer to stay inside, away from the light. But the light can be beautiful as well as scary. Growing = change, and change involves finding a way to try something new.

Accepting ourselves isn’t always easy, especially if others have taught us that we’re stupid/worthless/weird. It can be even harder if someone hears voices that put them down too.
Still, every step we take to being OK with who we are is another step towards true empowerment. Each one of us is AMAZING. Let’s celebrate that.

Today is World Hearing Voices Day. There’s a story behind every label. This picture tells just one.
Please help us challenge the stigma around hearing voices by reblogging this as sharing with as many people as possible.
If you can, start at least one conversation around hearing voices today. It’s such a common experience (1 in 5 11-13 year olds have heard voices, as have 3-10% of adults).
Thanks :)
