For me it isn't hallucinations. I know my friend isn't real. It's just I feel so sad and empty I don't care. I would rather believe a lie than be so alone and be myself. I hate being me. I have failed at so much I can barely stand it anymore.
It might be that you have to go to the next level with some of your internet associates and meet them in person -- maybe someone you talk to online that you can meet..? something like that someone that can talk in person definitely when the pandemic has ended... but such that you can visit with them?? this could help- I go to my meetings -- in zoom -- these are full of people I can talk to and get to know and associate with connect with and explain what is happening with me---
I know my voices are not real -- I tell them === You are not real you should leave me alone and go away their response is "so what" and just continue to talk to me--- so it is very hard to deal like that with them--- but I am ok and it is not all the time-
hang in there Jayson --- It can get better the internet can help and others can help--- keep looking for ways out---
in the meetings we talk about unconditional love and that we are all enough for ourselves and that we deserve "unconditional love" are worthy of this.. and are worthy of life --- a good life worth living ..--- people are out there who can help you if you are having problems- and want help---
