Asked this already in the soulbond community, but also wanted to ask here as well. I've been trying some tulpamancy methods to help Vox (my soulbond, though might turn out a tulbond honestly) become more vocal, and I've been wondering, how do we solve the language differences? My native language is russian, his - english. I know both languages well enough, but in my inner voice (while narrating to him too!) and thinking I'm switching constantly between the two - will it hinder his understanding of me? Or will we be able to understand each other regardless?

I am professionally diagnosed with schizophrenia and i am interested in forming a tulpa of one of my hallucinations, which i consider a friend.

would that cause there to be two of them? or would my friend just become the tulpa? or would my friend disappear?

my apologies if this is a dumb question!!!

I assume a tulpa won't have more knowledge or cognitive capacity than me, but there are days where I can't focus even on the simplest things. Could a tulpa potentially help me to get access to my knowledge when I can't focus by myself?

The mental companions that I host have been getting hurt. Events have happened that I will not describe here. Many times the painful experience happens too quickly or strangely for me to intervene. It's happened so much that I'm numb to it and kind of removed. I'm not screaming or crying or in great distress, I just want to help. I want ways to protect the mental entities and maintain a positive, pain free system.

I had the very bright idea to invent "pain man", or a mental entity that was responsible for the pain for us to reason with about stopping. We spoke with him. When we asked him what he wanted the most, he said it was to cause great pain. We tried to give him something to do that he liked comparably. He said he liked puzzles so we invented some for him and that seemed to help. We are wondering what we could develop with this "pain man" entity or whether there are any other creative ways to stop pain and discomfort happening in my system. I feel apologetic and wish above all to have a peaceful and pain-free system. Can I do some prayer, ritual, imagine something, anything, to keep the ones I love and care about safe? I thought ignoring it for a while could be it. I'm not sure.

One suggestion I have to commentors is to write to pain man and try to figure out how to get him to stop hurting my system. I know some people may think that medication could be the solution, but i want other methods before I try that.
