I wasn’t even from a very religious household 
we go to church on like holidays and that’s it. My parents never really talked to us a great deal about any of it. My parents don’t even believe in demons. I just sort of FELL into it all. Which is why it’s so suspicious to me and I feel other forces were leading me to it.
It’s all because during my first communion I messed up renouncing Satan LOL. I didn’t understand what renounce meant so they said “Do you renounce Satan” and I said no. Definitely the source of all of this.
(I’m kidding)
If you were baptized as a child then mainstream Christian teaching is that it is nearly impossible to be possessed unless you did some extremely grave act. And I am not talking about committing your life to the devil or something. I did that in the throws of my Mental Illness. It meant nothing. Just part of my sickness.
I’m not possessed I never said I was possessed.
I don’t even follow Christianity I just use the terminology. I could refer to them as “negative energy entities from the lower levels of the astral plane” but that’s a lot wordier and more difficult to understand than demon. See what I mean.

Maybe you can tell them they’re missing an important meeting down under and they better attend right away and leave you alone
I am so exhausted. I was desperately trying to get in at least 1 hour of sleep before I have to go to class and they said “Give us what we want or suffer.” And I said “I suffer either way!!”
They’re always like “Submit to us” or “Give yourself to us” I don’t even know what that freaking means!! I don’t understand!! They don’t answer any of my questions.
They aren’t allowing me to sleep.
What if you tell them to submit to you?
That’s basically what I try to say already, I ask them all the time why don’t they just give up, I’m never going to give in, this is pointless, etc
I would move this to unusual beliefs…

Oh sure. I wasn’t really counting it as beliefs because I was talking directly about what I was experiencing at the moment rather than talking about my personal beliefs if that makes sense but I don’t mind it being moved.

I met a girl in psych ward who experiences negative religious based voices. That was when I was just bipolar. She was really nice but would just sit on the couch watching tv all day. I was there for a week and she on a more permanent basis. Nothing that I could see showed that she was getting better there, but sometimes it’s just good to be in a safe place where things are stable and you’re taken care of. I was going to get her a book on eastern philosophy, something like Buddhism.
PHP is intensive outpatient, 6 hours a day 5 days a week. Basically just round after round of group therapy. It would give me structure, consistent social interaction, and I would have immediate and regular access to a psychiatrist who could stabilize me on medication. I wouldn’t do inpatient because I am taking a class. But it seems nowhere here is in network anyways so I couldn’t afford it to begin with. Oh well…
I guess I have to hold it out until Thursday when I have my meeting with my regular prescriber. I’m going to have to demand she gives me something for sleep because that is what’s really messing me up.
Moved to unusual beliefs and closed.
@Anna, call your doctor. This sort of fixating is not helping you or the forum.
To the rest of the forum: Advice on summoning demons is absolutely not helpful or permitted. I appreciate that everyone wants to help, but please think before you post.
