Hi. Few days ago I wrote topic about my ill mother. Today I went to church. I was arguing with my mother but I regret it. But I had another problem today. I got really big problem with demonic thoughts and my feelings. Yesterday while I was playing game I felt somtehing wrong. My heartbeat was faster, I felt something exciting don’t know why. But I played still. I didnt do it for emotions I just wanted play. It was simulator life or somtehing now I forgot name. I think that thoughts are from demon. And today while I was at church I thought that it’s not mortal sin and I went to Communion and I felt peace in my heart but now I got more demonic thoughts and I feel that I must say something very bad I dont want it. I think about lucifer. I dont want think about it and tell this ugly name!!! I went to confesion 3 days ago I wanted go today but I was too scared… I can’t stand nothing now. I feel my Communion is sacrilegious but now I haven’t any chance to tell it. 😦 :(😔
 
You have scruples. We cannot answer . We could make your scruples worse. Ask your priest.
 
I could ask him, of course. It would be best way. But I haven’t any chance… I was at church hour ago… Tomorrow is Christmas Eve… And any chance to go confession. I don’t think even about Tuesday when Christmas… But I still can go to church at 5 p.m but I dont know…
And yes I know I have scruples… 😦

You also should be seeking a medical health professional and discussing all this with them.
Please disregard any internet opinions on irrational feelings or thoughts of mortal sin , or opinions on if you should receive communion.

They are the opinions of amateurs

You have already repented in your heart, so you’re Communion wasn’t sacrilegious. But learn the lesson: this game gives you bad thoughts, so stay away from it as of now. Whatever harm the game has already done, whether it be demons or anything else, it’ll fade away if you don’t play the game anymore. (Nor any other games similar to it). You might also want to confess this if you can find an understanding priest. (Not every priest would understand how and why playing a game can be a sin, but as your intuition correctly warns you, it can be.)
 
You can always go to Mass.

If you are in a state of grave sin, you simply stay in your pew at Communion time.

What you describes sounds like simple unbidden idle thoughts. Do not give Satan credit for what is simply part of the human condition. You had a bad thought. Did you dwell on it or spin it out into a daydream? Then say “I cannot keep the birds from flying overhead, I CAN keep them from making a nest in my hair”.

Your venial sins are removed when you prayerfully use holy water (this means you don’t just dip a finger and splash water, you in your mind pray “In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit” as you make the sign of the cross with the holy water). Your venial sins are forgiven during the Confietor at Mass (the “I confess” part). Your venial sins are forgiven when you receive Holy Communion.

Very much, when Christmas hubub is past, make an appointment with your priest to discuss scruples. Then, abide by what he says.
