Just getting this off my chest, as I dont want to burden my family with my illness anymore, and I dont have any friends to talk about this with.
For three months I've had voices in my mind. It started in August, and I went through a rather large delusion where I thought I was fighting for God. I was told to do two things that almost cost me my life. They were about two weeks apart, where I ended up in the emergency room and both times put in a psych ward. I broke out of one of them by taking a key card from the night staff. I outran the security guards but my sketchers came off and my feet got bloody.
Wtf...why didn’t the psych hospital get the police involved and bring you back? If this story is true you need to be kept and diagnosed properly for your own safety. There’s nothing any of us here can do for you other than recommend checking yourself in somewhere.....immediately.
Please get the help you need immediately. You need to keep yourself out of danger so professional caregivers can treat you and get you on the road to being healthy. Please give them the opportunity to give you a chance to get healed. You cannot do this alone.

I think I'm a high functioning schizoaffective disorder that.

Mitch, Your freinds at PSR are all telling you the same thing. Check yourself into a hospital. The people will be nice to you. You will begin to feel better.
You know, that when you are alone bad things happen to you. Don't be alone
You know what to do. Just walk into any Emergency Room and ask for help. Call 911 and the police will take you there.
Check yourself into the ER. There are people there that will help you. I've done it and it was the best decision that I could have made. Turned my life around.

Do you want to stay the way you are now?
No, but I've been delusion free since late August but have auditory hallucinations still. My psychiatrist has me on multiple medications to try and get these voices down to a murmur.

Glad to hear you’re not alone. Psychiatrists are so important. As you can tell, PSR seems an ok space for you to share.
No advice I can give. But I hope you can find the help you need to get things under control. There are lots of people who want and know how to help you, if you're willing to let them. Best wishes man.
I appreciate all the kind words from everyone. I debated whether I should make this thread as there isn't anything any of you can do about it, so I thought what's the point.
I believe I've had this for around at least 5 years, if not more, but I hadn't heard any voices in my head till August of this year. I've drank my fair share of alcoholin my life, and think I simply masked the problem.
I've changed medications twice, and refuse to stop till my voices are gone. I have vivid memories of things that did not happen. It honestly makes me question all of my memories. I know what happened at my cabin 2 years ago was real, but now can see a reason as to why I was so unreasonable.
I feel like it's a fight in my brain between me and my voices. I can talk with them about almost anything, but while I toss water balloons at them they're dropping bombs, waiting for a time to advance.
I try to have fun with it, but I know it's a serious medical issue.
Wow Mitch, I never knew. My nieces Uncle on her dads side suffers from it. I know his meds have to be adjusted from time to time when he has episodes similar to what you described. Things change in your body and sometimes your meds need to be changed as well.
Tim (my nieces Uncle) recently suffered some severe trauma (my nieces father killed himself earlier this year and Tim found him) and hasn't been able to level out his meds. Just keep in contact with your Dr. He will know what is best.

Thank you all again for the support.
Sometimes, even if people can't actively help you, it helps to talk about it with them. Its hard to do because of fear that people are just gonna tear you down, or treat you poorly for the shit you're going through. Having a place to be able to talk about it where people aren't gonna judge you or hate on you can be helpful.
I don't have any advice for you, but I am interested in the voices you hear. If you don't mind me asking, what do they sound like? Do they sound different from your own voice? I've equated having anxiety and depression as like having two other voices in my head, but they both just sound exactly like my own voice already in there, just with thoughts that I wouldn't normally think.
Hey buddy, I am so very sorry for your troubles. Not really familiar with your condition, but I live with a bipolar 1 and 2. The thing is, you didn't get to vote to have a chemical disorder. People want to attach stigma to it, but this is pure ignorance on their part. They would not laugh and snigger if you were born missing arms or legs, or if you developed polio or the like. Should be the same way in this case.
A close friend in here game me the name of the DNA test that determines (hopefully) which medications are more effective and less invasive for you. It is called a Combinaturial Pharmacogenomic Test. I am going to insist those bastards treating my son to give him one. I would suggest that you look into it as well.
I suppose you might research what triggers these events, if such information is available. In our house, it is stress and/or anxiety. Probably different for you.
In any event, of course we all wish you the best, and hope you will be very aggressive in attacking this issue in the pursuit of solutions.
