i feel like satan or some demon is inside me like i said. i must repent. i must pay for my sins. i must make an offering to the lord. idk why i feel this way. 😭
Don’t let a church pressure you into a world view. Some churches think gays are going to hell. Others don’t. They can’t even decide amongst themselves what is right or wrong.
I don’t know what your thoughts are, or who you are. But if it’s not illegal across the globe, it’s a grey area, and even if it is illegal, find a trusted 3rd party professional to talk to.
thank you so much!!! i’m calmer now
If you’ve done something you are having a guilty conscience over you should talk about it with someone you deeply trust
From your post history, it sounds like you are feeling overwhelming guilt over some intrusive thoughts you’ve been having. Intrusive thoughts are natural, and (most likely) happen to everyone to varying degrees. Try to remember that it is the actions you take that define you, and not the thoughts you have. One can follow from the other but they don’t need to.
How old are you if you don’t mind my asking? I think if this is troubling you a great deal you should talk to a professional, who could equip you to lose the shame/alarm these intrusions cause you and to have some strategies to act positively regardless. This is a good idea in general, but if you are late teens to early thirties it might be especially important to see someone, particularly if this is a recent thing for you. Were you always feeling this guilt, or is it only in the past few years? Has the religious Satan/Demon aspect always been associated with these feelings for you or is that new? If these are new and you are in that age range I would especially recommend getting checked out, some lifelong mental illnesses can manifest in that time and the earlier you know the less pain it will cause you in the long run.
i’m 18 and yeah, i will definitely talk to someone, thanks. i feel this way because i must have done something wrong to have these thoughts and it’s like i feel a demon
