thought/feared/believed that they are demon possessed? I had a nightmare about this and ever since then I have had thoughts/fears/believed that I am possessed and it is KILLING ME. I have never wanted to die so much in my life. I can't function at work, or at home, I have been in the hospital for almost two weeks in the past month, and I can feel my faith in God slipping away because of this belief and the doubts of my salvation that were already there. Has anyone here ever dealt with this before and, if so, how did you get past it??? The very thought of calling an exorcist terrifies me because I don't want to believe that there is a demon in me, but everything is pointing in that direction. PLEASE HELP?! I am so close to suicide I can smell it, if that makes any sense at all.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey, God bless you sister!!! I know the overwhelming feeling of your doubts, and they are starting to seem more real then ever. But Christians can never be demonically possessed, but they can be demonically oppressed. And the oppressed part comes from your OCD, demons can try to persuade you into thinking certain things, but they can never force or enter you, because you are filled the Holy Spirit when you accepted Jesus Christ in your life. I read and learn this from one of Christianity's leading apologetic arthurs Norman Geisler, and his book is called "defending Christian faith I believe", but I double check for you when I get home.

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound
I thought I was possessed by a demon back before I was saved. I was on drugs. Needless to say, I am not possessed, and I am fine now. Just because you dream something doesn't make it true. Besides, if you were demon possessed would you care? Those in the bible who are possessed don't seem to care, or seem to have overt signs. Based on that I'd say you're fine
