Seeing the episodes as ways of helping you can be a great way to deal with it. I have thought the episodes put me out of action to protect me from negative stuff in my life.
i personally find the devil 
, hell, demonsā¦comforting. 
i used to talk to the devil a lotā¦not so long ago.
and go down the 144 different realms of hell and have a chat.
human beings on the other handā¦they are dangerous. 
demons do not pretend to be anything ā¦than they actuallly areā¦they are honest on the most part.
but human beingsā¦that is another matter.
take care 
Demonic delusions have been the mainstay of my experiences thus far. Iāll often see their intelligence in other peopleās eyes and, at times, will see that persons eye color and shape change. Iām constantly averting my eyes during these moments.
I actually just saw my first really vivid demon this morning, it was dressed in ancient clothing and dragging something behind it. Really did a number on me. One other primary delusion I have is unfortunately fed by the demonic one, itās where I believe im the nexus, or center, of all good and evil. During those times I can āseeā the world, all people, demons and angels, command the weather, etc.
All of my motherās friends and all my family were very religious. When I was in my teens and very Iāll the consensus was that I was possessed by demons.
religious delusions often carry the stigma that youāre bad or guilty of something
When I was young I used to think Satan was outside my bedroom window waiting to come in and possess me. I was really scared.
I have been possessed by the devil twice and had to do painful exorcisms to get rid of him
I have had both god and satan delusions at the same time
you sound very delusional, I would work with your psychiatrist to see about adjusting your meds. you donāt HAVE to be unstable.
Did any of you ever āspeak in tonguesā before?
itās mostly inside your head, itās the feeling of raw power that adds to the experience
I thought that the only way out of hell was to kill yourself and many other extreme thoughts
That has a ring of familiarity to it. Thatās why I take meds now, even though I hate them. Iād rather live than die for a delusion.
medication is the lesser of two evils, I use to be very anti meds until my awareness lifted over the decades

at the time the devil possessed me, I was more into atheism views, then the episode powered up and flipped the belief system
