if these symptoms of having people in your home, of hearing people of seeing people, etc, is NOT a result of any illicit drug use, then I would suggest buying a plane ticket and finding another city or State to move to. A change of outdoor temperature and wind speeds, and temperature guages would help in helping your mind, your life, and your outlook be influenced by the differences of outdoor temperatures, wind speeds, outdoor temperature guages… etc… Even being in a new neighborhood where you have to learn the roads and streets and stores will help your mind re-map itself which would aid in leaving the junk behind.
If the symptoms came from illicit drug uses, then regardless of where you relocate to, the symptoms will probably be similar but may not be exactly the same, if you continue in drug usages.
Hearing voices on drugs is not ONLY in one place.
And if you did not use drugs or are not using drugs, then hearing voices or seeing people in your home might be more ‘real’ than hallucinations which would definitely be a reason to relocate.
If you are using and do not want to ‘stop’, then I’d suggest getting real about your desire to be in The Church or letting your Pastor/Preacher know what your ideas are. Maybe you want to be part of the Church family but still use drugs freely. Letting your pastor or preacher know this in advance would help him use proper ways to understand what you are going through if and when any ‘out of the ordinary’ behavior comes from you. Most importantly, let your Church Pastor or Preacher know and then work out the finer points after.
But if you did not let your Church Pastor or Preacher know and if some odd behavior should come forth from you, then who would know why? They might think you had a demon or was possessed… by some ‘evil’ inner thing within you… Not every Church has the same understanding of possessions and torments as every other Church. But letting them know of your drug uses would give them a satisfactory reason and explanation for your odd behavior, if you should exhibit any…
Remember, the other Church Members need to be shown respect and courtesy and Love and understanding as well as the ‘tormented’ one(s). The whole entire ‘focus’ shouldn’t be on 1 person. Unless the others have a desire to do so, which is somewhat strange and out of the ordinary. But if they want to focus their attention on 1 person, then that is their right.
Maybe all the ‘tormented’ person wants is to be heard and to have someone they can share their painful and good stories and memories and hopes with. But without letting the others know, the others are not going to ‘invite’ themselves into your personal life lest they be accused of ‘forcing entry’ or being ‘disrespectful’ …
If you are close enough with the Priest for him to come over to your personal living space, then I don’t see why there would be any reservations with telling him the truth about what you want and what you are hoping for and what you are even expecting… At least this way, the Priest can work WITH what you are trying to achieve more than trying to give options of what possibilities there might be for you within The Church
