Does anybody have Schizophrenia and have a problem with hearing voices?

I have Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and have been diagnosed as schizoaffective and it started when I was 20 years old and I'm 53 years old now. I started smoking cigarettes back then and have been smoking for 32 years now. I have tried to quit smoking using the patches, gum, lozenges, spray, bupropion, Chantix, acupuncture, chamomile tea and have only been able to quit smoking temporarily each time. I forgot how many times I tried to quit smoking but I have always relapsed. I have a problem with hearing voices which is a symptom of Schizophrenia and I have a psychiatrist who I talk to and she prescribes my medication. I'm not going to give up on quitting smoking and keep trying until I succeed. I just wanted to know if anyone else is going through this.

@Barbscloud the voice in my head is loud today it does not want to take medications. They only concentrate on the medication I miss and it makes it difficult.

@j3ffmeadowsgm Why do you think you don't want to take your medications.  I know you said sometimes you forget, but this sounds different.  By "they" do you mean the counselors at the facility.

Please take you meds!

I am so sorry that you are going through tough times. I am glad you are using resources such as the suicide help line. I am sorry I did not get back here to reply in a timely manner. I have a lot of issues going on with myself and have been in bed most of the day due to pain. Praying for you!
