Asil,
I have the feeling that the nature of your auditory hallucination is such that no matter how hard you try to listen, you will never make out what it is saying, that that is part of the point of the hallucination, ie, to feel like you just can't figure out what is going on. Frustrating. It is hard for me to articulate, but I feel like I am in a similar process with my depression. I used to always try to figure out the "formula" for putting depression behind me, like just trying to get it right in my life. Now I am learning to accept myself as I am, depression and all, and not have all the answers. I might never know "why" I am depressed, despite understanding all of the possible contributors. I might never know the way out of depression, and will have to settle for know how to live through it and with it as part of my life, just able to manage it as much as possible. Letting go of that desparate search to know the real answers is hard, but I think it is helping me a lot.
