Comment on How do I deal with a very negative inner voice/second conscience that's constantly loud? It's like I have two different people in my head but they're both me, telling me opposite things endlessly.

  The best suggestion anyone could give here is to seek out professional help because this question is way way way too big and serious for the likes of Lemmy.

  While that answer is correct, “professional help” isn’t a thing most people can just pick up from the grocery store, so to speak.

  Knowing what type of help to ask for, getting affirmation that they need help at all, how to describe the problem, whether it has any other known names, etc are very valuable resources that people can only really get from asking friends or online forums.

  I need to go through my GP to get “professional help”, and the waiting list for non-urgent appointments are 1-2 months. I would for sure be stuck for months or years in “stressed or burnt out maybe rest some” if I tried to bring up that my inner voice is mean to me.
