She says she’s possessed by a demon named Aeshma and he’s been getting stronger and stronger the longer he’s inside. I don’t know what to do to help. What can I do???

Aeshma is the Younger Avestan name of Zoroastrianism’s demon of “wrath.” -wikipedia
I am pasting a reply to another person here…
"It is something that a good priest has to confirm. Usually they would work with a good doctor and try to rule out potential culprits.
The priest can perform various tests to figure out what is going on. …Reactions to sacraments, incense, scriptures etc.
It can be tricky as there can be overlap.
Like schizotypal symptoms and demonic activity making it worse.
None of us are immune to the activity of the fallen angels messing with our thoughts, feelings, or attacking us (Just look at Padre Pio) but it is most unfortunate when people are unable to control their behavior due to them.
Finding a good priest who knows about them and how they work can be difficult today but these priests do exist. Getting permission of the Church to investigate and rule on it is also difficult in my experience."
"Deborah Lipsky wrote a good book on over coming spiritual attacks.
Get a good priest and use them as a regular spiritual director.
Pray the rosary, and turn your home into a place of prayer.
Play religious music.
At least one blessed icon or crucifix in each room. Saint Benedict Medals. Light blessed incense. Get Holy water, oil, and blessed and excised salt to bless your home and food.
Try to go to mass and confession often.
Saturate your life with Holy under a good director’s supervision.
If it is them…they are dangerous and you need to protect yourself. If not, no harm will come from glorifying God more.
Personally I had a family member who was dealing with demonic voices. It was initially confused with schizophrenia but eventually our priest figured it out was able to help and silence the voices. However we all have had to deal with various types of attacks since.
The Catholic Church has endorsed various books on the subject but I would not recommend reading them without good spiritual direction to guide you."
Do not deal with this on your own. It could be a mental disorder, it could be fallen angels, it could be both. Seek out a priest, and find a good catholic doctor who can help as well if you can.
God Bless

I commend your desire to help your girlfriend. I suggest that you contact a Priest asap. He will be able to discern if this is indeed demonic possession or a mental health issue. (Unless you are trained to identify either one.) Which I am doubting you are since you asked for help. God Bless.

Surprisingly well thought out and a logical reponse…op follow this, especially talking to a clergyman.

Your girlfriend needs to speak with her priest who will speak to her. They will involved medical professionals to eliminate natural illnesses.
If this is for real, this is not something to play around with. She can only be helped through the sacraments of the Church.

This board is for prayer only, not advice. That being said, this is a matter for a priest to handle.

Yes, get help soon from a priest. not all priests are exorcists, not at all, but they can help guide you and help you “apply” for an exorcism.

- Demonic possession is extraordinary demonic activity. Ordinary demonic activity is more dangerous.
- People who are severely mentally ill can often believe they are possessed when they’re not. While there is a chance that a person can be mentally ill AND possessed, the Church requires people to be evaluated by healthcare professionals first.
- The rite of exorcism is NOT a sacrament. It is considered a sacramental and blessing. http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-wor...ramentals/sacramentals-blessings/exorcism.cfm
- Exorcists are required to catechesis people on the nature of the rite so has to guard against the sin of superstition.

Notice in the scriptures that those possessed never ask for help or make claims as to their spiritual state. Demons who possess humans will not identify themselves outside of the rite of exorcism. Why? When they give up their name, they admit that they are present. Being deceivers, they hate to admit the truth.
No, in cases of possession, others must seek the help. I would rather have her mental health checked - which the Church will do first anyway.

You could contract the chancery off ice of your diocese to see if theySeveral of the posts here show why it can be undesirable to listen to anyone who speaks on the matter. Hopefully you can find a priest with a good background in the matter.
