Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

The voices want me to stab myself repeatedly which I know will likely just result in serious injuries not death. My current planned method is hanging (full suspension) but still deciding on location and materials. Worried not going to sort it in time before the voices win as they keep taking over my mind.

You on medication? General accounts here seem to advise against stabbing as a method, not going to steer you away from suicide but stabbing is not secure and will probably hurt you without killing you
Unusual experiences e.g. hearing voices are usually mechanisms to manage trauma or traumatic events.
I can't imagine how difficult it is for you to manage everything that's going on right now.
Your voices seem to try and ease some of the emotional load, and although the suggested method is not desirable, the intention is to ultimately help you.
You're not alone in this

Got it- as long as you've been to a professional and they ruled it out. But if you haven't I'd definitely go. Even if it's not schizophrenia specifically it may be treatable.

It doesn't sound like the voices have your best interests at heart. You are better off listening to us and this forum says stabbing is a horrible thing to do to yourself.
I agree. In case you pose an imminent and severe threat to yourself or others uttering concrete plans they will have to admit you to the psych ward (closed ward institution).
I wouldn´t risk it. If you want to address it you could talk about feeling urges to inflict bodily self harm of different extent that make you feel very uncomfortable, but you haven´t acted on it. You could ask for medication to help you if you want to, since it is clearly affecting your quality of life or daily life.
What you experience or imagine is not uncommon at all. It is not automatically related to hallucinations or psychosis. Could be severe depression affecting hormone receptors in your brain causing imbalance. Could be ptsd or trauma related as well or severe anxiety and panic disorder just to name a few.

Tbf it's pretty hard to get admitted here in UK. But I have been sectioned (committed)in the past (unrelated to experiences now) so don't want to risk that again.
But regardless I don't need or want professional help. The voice is part of a system that is trying to restore order since I didn't die when I was supposed to. It wants same end goal as me so I don't see it as illness.
