All that to say this, I think "demons" have been summoned in my closet again.
Whether spiritual or mind, I brought this on myself when I went through two subreddits related to demons. I didn't get the sense of evil from reading but for sure some darkness that caused discomfort. And I gassed myself saying I was psyching myself out for no reason.
"None of this is real."
But it was very real for the community that posted. So I went to bed with these thoughts (bad idea) and i felt a physical presence I hadn't felt in two years.
Two years ago when I got back from my deployment I had the strangest waking moments. Moments where I woke up gasping for air (never done that before) or someone shouted in my face to wake me. And it always seemed like something was conjuring in the closet but I chucked it up to me being paranoid. But my paranoia got worse so I decided to burn some sage and hype myself up that it was all in my head.
It's been fine ever since but last night I got paranoid again. I don't know if my brain is creating demons or if demons truly exist. The terrifying thing is whether it's all in my head or not, it still feels like reality. And I'm getting to the point where the more I believe, the stronger my brain will create this reality.
