I will offer this canned advice again, in hope that it will help. You can choose from the menu what you think will work for you:
Here is a good place to start:
Some will tell you to see a Psychiatrist, and rule out possible psychosis. You will very likely find that most Psychiatrists refuse to accept the possibility of anything other than a clinical condition, one which they can treat with the usual myriad of psych meds, and in the process, continue to make their boat payment. Although it is true that some people have clinical issues which may appear to be diabolical in nature, a person with spiritual issues who sees the wrong Physician may very well allow themselves to be convinced that they are just psychotic, that it’s all in their head, and the answer is heavy medication. In many cases, this misdiagnosis and mistreatment could very likely lead to further disaster, and possible ruin. Start by finding a Priest who understands that such conditions do occur, and who is willing to assist you in finding your way out of the woods, so to speak. This will very likely be a lengthy journey. With a little luck, you will soon come to see your affliction as a precious gift from God. If you are unable to find a Priest you are comfortable with, contact your Catholic Diocese, and ask for their assistance. If you still do not receive the help you need, write a letter to the Bishop. Mark it ‘Personal, Confidential and Urgent’, Send it through the mail, or drop it off and hand it to the Bishop’s Secretary.
saint-mike.org/ is a controversial site, but there is some good info there, particularly the deliverance prayers, especially the Hedge Prayer, and the 7 steps to self deliverance. Do some digging, and you will find their Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog. I can tell you with complete certainty, the Hedge Prayer works. The other Deliverance prayers listed on that same site after the Hedge Prayer are also quite beneficial, but may or may not need to be said every night, depending on each person’s situation. Keep in mind that what allows us to become spiritually afflicted is our state of sin. The more we sin, and the more we are attached to sin, the easier it becomes for the demons to attack us, and the more we invite them to do so. It is of critical importance that we all turn away from sin, and follow the Gospel. For someone who is spiritually afflicted, it can be a matter of life and death.
To rely on one or two weapons is not the recipe for success in a battle such as this. You will very likely need to build up an entire arsenal. The St. Michael Chaplet is another powerful weapon, and works well, if prayed fervently, and daily. You probably won’t notice the effect for a while, but if you ever stop, you may very likely see what you’re missing. You can pray it on a regular Rosary. The secret to success is to come as close to our Lord Jesus and Blessed Mary as you can, and devote your entire life to this goal.
If you are Catholic, attend Mass and confess often. The Sacraments are everything the Church says they are, and more. Unfortunately, it took me many years to understand this. Confession is one of the most powerful weapons available to us. When we partake of this Sacrament sincerely and contritely, we are not only returned to our Baptismal state; we are also granted healing graces which will, over time, help us to break our attachment to sin. Our goal should be to continue to persevere until we do not even think about looking back at our old ways. Not only does sin, and our attachment to it, offend God terribly; it also leaves holes in our spiritual armor, which the demons can easily penetrate. Living in a state of mortal sin, or even an attachment to it, can (and I emphasize CAN, not WILL) leave us open to even worse spiritual problems, including possession.

Divine Mercy Chaplet. This is powerful as well, and can be prayed on a regular Rosary. It would be a good practice to recite two Divine Mercy Chaplets every night: one for ourselves and our family, and one to offer to Blessed Mary, to give to someone who needs it. Over the course of time, offering this second Chaplet could very likely help to save at least one poor soul from Hell.
Recite the Scriptural version of the Way of the Cross. Every night, before bed. This too is a powerful form of prayer. Again, although you may not see the benefits immediately, you will most definitely reap the benefits. Also, like the Saint Michael Chaplet, going just one night without reciting this form of devotion would very likely not be pleasant. That should be considered a sign of just how powerful it is.
