What Should I Do About The Threatening Hallucinations And Voices I M Experiencing With Schizophrenia, Particularly Regarding CBT Therapy?

Hi, I am 22 year old male and for 2 days there’s imaginary 2 people (they come to my mind and threaten me while being awake). Actually, they are goon in designation and they’re blackmailing me to marry a girl of their choice, else they will shoot me (point blank range) and I seem to be helpless, fear and sweating. (this girl is there in real life). On 29th October 2021, a psychiatrist diagnosed me with schizophrenia. I have used Ayurveda herbs and Unani system treatment (no psychiatric medicines) for schizophrenia as well as listened to positive affirmations daily, did yoga/meditation/brisk-walking, consulted too many sessions with suicide prevention NGOs but no relief. What should I do now? When I think to start cognitive behavioral therapy, then those imaginary goons are giving me terms and conditions like “if I don’t start therapy, then they will save me but I have to marry the girl of their choice” and “if I start CBT therapy, then they are threatening me that they will beat up my jaw, stomach and (that part) and they will make sure that I cannot able to get marry.” Now also they’re giving me warning. That’s the reason I didn’t continue CBT therapy and left on the 3rd day and after that I didn’t think about CBT therapy. Before also, these imaginary goons used to threaten me but when I said to them, I will not continue CBT therapy, so please go” and after that they didn’t trouble me. But when I seriously thought to seek professional help for schizophrenia, then these goons are coming again and threatening me. In addition to it, I am hearing a male’s crying voice but when I reach to that place, then there is no male present. From the day when I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, then I used to get sense that someone is following me. I feel that a man or a dog (animal) used to follow me but when I turn around and look, no one was there. I didn’t took this seriously that time but this is happening frequently nowadays. Regards
