I feel like help is an illusion.
Hey homie, this feels out of my league, but I want you to know that I did read it and I am concerned for you.
Are these encounters thoughts you’re having, or situations you’re finding yourself in?
If you’re finding yourself in the middle of situations with no memory of how you got there, that sounds serious enough to warrant a professional, if possible.
I sometimes find, when I have issues with persistent negative ideation (not the same thing at all, and maybe not relevant), that it’s linked to my lack of sleep or stress levels. Idk if that’s helpful.

Situations
it’s linked to my lack of sleep or stress levels.
I thought the same thing, but a lot of these happened after a goodnight of sleep, stress free.
warrant a professional, if possible.
I’ll try to
Best of luck, I hope the professionals can be helpful!
This sounds pretty concerning, even though I have no idea what I’m doing. It sounds like you should go seek help definitely before anything worse happens. It’s better to take preventative action now, than suffer from something more serious later.
I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way, but I’m unable to provide the help that you need. It’s very important to talk with someone who can, though. Reach out to a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life who can help guide you through this difficult time. It’s brave to recognize when you’re struggling and to seek help. You don’t have to face this alone. There are services available for you, such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) if you’re in the U.S., or local services if you’re from a different country. You might also find it helpful to visit subreddits like /r/SuicideWatch, /r/depression, or /r/mentalhealth where you can find resources, share your experiences, and talk to people who may be going through similar experiences. Please reach out to these resources - help is available for you.
Are these voices coming from inside or from outside? Also, do you hear them, or do they appear inside your brain?
