Am I possessed? There is a voice in my head saying, ‘You are of no use to anyone. End it now and then you won’t be a burden to decent people. Finish it. Avoid further pain. You’re not supposed to be here. You don’t belong here. An angel made a clerical error.’ There is a sharp, physical pain lodged in my chest, a large heavy stone weighing me down. Some demon has taken up residence inside me. Do I need a psychiatrist or an exorcist? My own mind is torturing me. And I am terrified, paralysed by uncertainty. The world looks like a cold, dark, hostile place. And no one can help me. I am isolated. And there is a word that keeps inserting itself into my thoughts. That word is ‘abomination’.

*hugs* I’ve been through this. You are not possessed. You are very ill.
The words “I am bad” insert themselves into my thoughts like “abomination” does for you. Do not argue with the thoughts. This just prolongs them. Try to distract yourself, any *safe* way you can. If you get proper help and meds, you can work on making the thoughts gradually go away, but for now the best thing is to go “lalala I’m not listening” to the bullying voice. It is not telling the truth, but it can be very persuasive. If you argue with the bullying voice, it will probably win the argument, NOT because it is right (it isn’t) but because you are too tried to fight properly.
Be gentle with yourself.
E-mail me if you like. I hope things get better for you. xxxx
