If I have posted this topic in the wrong section, I would appreciate being helped out on that.

Anyway, whenever I go to church, I get this choking feeling in my throat. The closer I get to the church, the worse the sinking feeling gets. I think it may have to do with the priests. I don’t know why, but whenever I look at them or am even able to hear them speaking, I become afraid, hateful, and slightly paranoid.

Okay, maybe I should explain the “paranoid” bit. It happened a few months back, when I was getting sick a lot. One Sunday, my mom had taken me to church even though I had a migraine. I think that because I had taken my migraine medication that I may have been a bit out of it. Anyway, while I was at church I started wondering to myself whether it was possible to put out a candle flame with my mind. Guess what I did, being so out of it? That’s right, I tried it.
I focused on the candle for about fifteen minutes, and then finally gave up, seeing as nothing had happened. Right after I stopped trying to make the candle go out, I felt like I was going to throw up, due to having a migraine, so I went to the bathroom. When I came back out of the bathroom, I noticed that the candle up at the front of the church that I had been focusing on had gone out.
Obviously, I panicked a little bit. I was freaked out by what had happened. I wondered if the priests would know it was me who had put the candle out (or had at least known it was going to go out) and kick me out of the church for witchcraft or something.
This paranoia has persisted ever since the candle incident happened.
Also, I have been able to replicate this incident. However, it was at my house, not at church.

Another thing that has been worrying me is that a few months ago I had a blackout. I remember when I woke up from the blackout, I had blood streaked like warpaint across my cheeks. I never could figure out where the blood came from.

Gah, I’m just so freaked out. I feel like I’m going to be called crazy. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before…
I feel like I shouldn’t be telling anyone this.

There’s more that has been going on, but these are the major things that have happened.
 
I’ve only heard of those things in Occult practices. Have you ever been involved in the occult? Ouija boards, spells, seances, etc.? If what you are saying is true, it sounds serious and I would get help from a priest ASAP!

In the meantime, if you HAVE been in Occult, you need to say, "In the name of Jesus, I renounce any dealings with…(name it: Ouija, spells, etc) I command any evil spirits that may have attached themselves to me to leave NOW! Then invite the Holy Spirit to comfort you and keep you safe.

Pray to your guardian angels to help you. They can defend you from evil.

God’s peace be with you my dear. Know that He loves you and wants to give you freedom.
 
I would advise you to speak to a priest. It sounds like it is a medical problem but you need spiritual support with it, so that you don’t feel that you sinned or that you somehow wanted to feel that way… It is easy for us to become frightened and suffer scruples about something that could be cleared up by talking to your priest.

You mentioned that you had a migraine the first time this happened. You could be having a reaction to the medication or be having painless migraines, a man I know sees people’s heads start to collapse but doesn’t get the pain. You really need to speak to your doctor as soon as possible.

As for the candle thing, you couldn’t have made it go out and you didn’t know that it would. When you do it at home, there could be any number of factors making the candle go out, from draughts to your breath. Please don’t worry, you’re not affecting this.

If you talk to your priest and your doctor, you’ll get the help and support you need.

God bless.
 
Is this person serious? The black out and blood streaks… and on her greeting card she said that she had originally written her post in a language foreign to her. These are extreme possession symptoms…

Well, Sarah if this is all true, pray to God for strength and guidance, and** talk to a priest**.

If you don’t know how to pray, you can find help on googling and with the search function of this forum. You can of course ask questions here. And most of all, you can just speak to God.
 
Dear HelpMe, Everyone here has give you good advice. No matter what questions you may have regarding your religious identification, talk to a priest. When you call for an appointment, you need say no more than “private problems” when speaking to the person who reserves the time for you.

As previously stated, throw out any items associated with the occult that you may have in your home. Satan IS real and will delight in your fear and guilt and, especially, in your questioning your sanity, so thwart him by tossing out anything possibly in his realm. Bless yourself with holy water in the Sign of the Cross before you sleep and when you wake up.

Ask God to grant you relief from thinking about these issues while you are alone, and to grant you the guidance you need in resolving them. Simply pray a simple prayer something like this: “Dear God, please keep me safe. Please keep these thoughts out of my mind except when I’m discussing them with Fr. (Name). Please help me not to worry about these incidents and to put my trust fully in You, so that these issues may be quickly resolved. I thank you for helping me. Amen.” Just talk to Him, HelpMe, using your own words. They’ll come to you; just let them spill out.

I think you’re frightened by these incidents because they now seem freaky (since you’d concentrated upon those very things occurring), so that has triggered guilt for you to deal with, also. In response, your body is clutching with a physical reaction.

The feeling that we’re losing control is difficult to handle, HelpMe, but it disappears when we learn to trust fully that God will take care of us if we let him. Just keep saying, “I trust you to help me, Dear Jesus. I thank you for keeping me safe.”

Please keep us posted regarding your progress. If the priest thinks you need to see a doctor for your migraines, do follow his advice. This will all work out, HelpMe; just trust in Jesus. I’ll keep you in my prayers and many CAFers will add you to their prayers, too. Best wishes to you.
 
Lady Love, it was so wise of you to suggest that HelpMe talk to his/her guardian angel. Our angels are continually protecting us. I sincerely believe that every time something almost happens, but doesn’t, and we think, “Boy, was THAT a close call!” our guardian angels were looking out for us. They’re always there, even though we can’t see them and even though things do happen to us in spite of their best efforts.

HelpMe, take Lady Love’s suggestion and talk to your guardian angel, too. May peace be with you.

Yes! I’ve also felt this very strongly sometime in my personal experiences. I re-read Lady Love’s advice and I agree that it is really good.

With great respect, that shouldn’t be a priority until the person has spoken to a priest and a medical doctor and followed their advice. There are spiriual and medical sicknesses that we should not try to treat ourselves.
