Have you consecrated yourself to Mother Mary? Do you wear a scapular? Rosary, Rosary, Rosary! Chaplet of St. Michael! God Bless and keep you safe!

Something i don’t talk about much is an experience i had similar to the OPs. My experience built over about a month but in reality was just one night, honestly it is the only night of my life i wondered if i would wake up after falling asleep. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have that experience multiple times. I believe the OP is sincere based on comments made and descriptions given.
I humbly ask other people commenting to resist talking about mental illness or drugs. No doubt a priest will consider these issues if they turned out to be relevant. But often these are used as excuses by athiests to deny what is obviously not of this world, which is why i ask people not to add to the stigma they seek to create.
What i want to share with you all about my experience is that what i saw, heard, smelt and touched cannot be explained by secular means. It happened to me because i was around someone who has a reoccuring problem, they are not longer in my life for unrelated reasons and i am fortunate nothing has happened since. After my experience i went and got a tattoo between my shoulder blades of a bible verse. I did it because i never wanted to forget what i had seen, frightening as it was. We may all doubt bits of our faith at time but once you see the devil, no rational person would think there was not also God.
To the OP i want to say that when it happened i prayed Hail Mary (repeatedly) and i prayed out loud for protection from Archangel Michael. I was scared and not ashmed to say that. I am and was physically strong by any reasonable standard, but this had strength that was beyond the capabilities of the form it took. However, my prayers gave me the strength required to resist. By that i mean that it hated Holy water and the cross, which i had nearby and held close to it. It did not attack me per se but in my attempts to press a cross on it, it resisted my arms and it’s strength was undeniable. However, it could not overpower me in the sense of God granted me the strength i needed for protection, albeit the bare minimum! I realised this after a protracted stand off, where i gradually realised it dare not attack me directly although those were very tense moments and my confidece is retrospective. I have no factual basis to say whether one can generalise that for all possible scenarios though. OP i cannot explain why this happens to you or when it will end, but i believe they use the tricks that they have to scare us. Do not be scared OP,

- they are repulsive in smell and sound, they use psychological attacks because they are weaker physically than Gods angels
- they fear God, his name and his angels, they try to scare us in order to prevent us praying because our prayers are answered
- God will protect you, all their tactics are simply to try and seperate you from Gods protection

I too have been through this as many on the boards here know. This is a difficult time of year for me anyway due to family reasons, and now because my parents health is so bad I have been super depressed.
What has been a real relief for me though, has been that due to my time off from work, I have gone to confession, Two masses, and adoration twice. This has been a huge boost and derailed the horrid temptation I have been battling most of December. Satan would move mountains if he could to keep you from the church.
I did not want to go to Christmas Mass for some reason. I don’t know why. I did not want to leave the house. Halfway to the church, the “spell” was broken. That is how these things work. I think it would be helpful for the OP to order a spiritual warfare book or two.
