Fighting my own battle

Ive said this a few times before, but i have been fighting evil spirits for a very long time now, since about age 15. Ive always wondered whether i am targeted for a reason. Ive wondered whether i bear the mark of cain in my soul, and have been forsaken by god to suffer at the hands of my enemies for all eternity. Ive realized that this is a delusion that was put in my mind by the demons.

The truth is simply that im not that special, im just experiencing more severe demonic attacks than most people because i have weakened mental defenses to them. This is because as long as i can remember ive always allowed external thoughts into my mind without a struggle. Demons love to prey upon exceptionally open or gullible people. This gives them many more pathways to enter into a mind and torment it.

My solution: stop paying attention to foreign thoughts. I dont have to listen to any thoughts in my head that arent mine. The less i listen to them the less they torture me. I will stop listening to other people as well, including any ideas created by other people, whether it’s music, film, or writing. It’s all a pathway for demonic influence, even if it isnt intended to be. Maybe demons can latch onto ideas that have been expressed and thereby enter into unwitting minds. I really dont know, but i do know that having an open mind is extremely dangerous.

I have committed myself to become more stable, more independent, and more confident. This will strengthen my body and mind and i will achieve a much better life this way. Today is Day 1 of my new life and i am already feeling liberated and relieved, and more in control of my own mind.

Maybe this is because i only have demonic attackers and not actual mental illness. This might not work for anyone else, but for my specific situation i feel like this is the battle i need to fight for myself.

Demons do not exist. Please get on meds.

I dont have or need meds, im in control of myself. Everybody gets evil thoughts, it’s normal. Maybe some people just dont admit it.

I don’t get evil thoughts. I might get angry thoughts, or dark thoughts, but not anything I would describe as evil.

You dont involuntarily imagine stabbing yourself when youre holding a knife?

@rhizome, you don’t take meds?
I had same as demons situation, but had illussion it was God sent.
After started taking meds, it lessen a bit.

I dont have any meds, i havent seen a psychiatrist and nobody has given me a prescription. I might see one but i really dont think im crazy. Im just more aware of my thoughts than most people are.

No.

And the fact that you do is a sure sign you need help, and should look into going on meds. That is not normal, and is very dangerous.

Ok well it happens to me every day and i feel like im not the only one. Im extremely good at not paying attention to these thoughts because they happen all the time and i can tell that they arent coming from my own mind. I used to be extremely ashamed of them and was embarrassed to talk about it, but now i know they arent my own thoughts so i feel ok being open about it.

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not.

But if you aren’t, there are valid medical reasons for sleep paralysis: sleep apnea, genetics, anxiety, sleep deprivation… there are no demons.

I used to have thoughts like that – BEFORE I went on meds. Now they are gone, so they don’t bother me. I don’t have to white knuckle my way through it, or live with it.

They may be intrusive or unwanted thoughts, but they are your own. No demon is inserting thoughts into your head.
