schizphrenic behaviour talking unknown language
Posted: 03-01-06 00:01am

:? With my luck this post wont help, but I don't know where to go or ask for help. Its not me in need of help- though i'm sure so many say that, in this case it's true. I'm scared-a long time friend of mine, 9-10 yrs now to be exact, has just told me she's a demon- my mother has been studying psychology and related topics for awhile now, so I consulted her- she is very open minded and suggested a few options, the base option and the one she though most likely the cause, schizophrenia, the other, possession. I guess I should tell about what my friend has been saying- she called me up the other day and after talking a few moments- asked me to hold. I agreed, I could hear her talking in some language I could not make out- I am not fluent on any foriegn language myself, but am not ignorant to how to dipict the origin of the languages, and this one I could not- when she returned to the phone I asked her if she'd been speaking another language, because she had not told me she was learning any language in school, and I thought she would have, she replied with 'yes, that is what I called to talk to you about.' she then proceded to tell me that she was a demon, however, that demons are not how people depict them, they arn't evil or bad. She explained to me that on earth people are 'shells' and that some contain angles and some demons. She said that 'hell' is notbad either. That "beyond the flames' demons live peacfully, and there is no torture. She said that in every lifetime she is sent here to 'free the demons from their shells, so that they may return to beyond the flames, so that earth will once again only contain angels.' now as you can imagine,i was getting a little freaked out at this point. I believe a lot and am very open minded, but this was just freaky. Let it also be known at the begining of the call she had talked about messing around with tripple c or also known as coricedin, the over the counter cough, cold medicine, the whole time she's explaining all of this to me she's having a conversation in the backround, in this forign tongue, with some guy. She puts him on the phone and he tells me that in order to 'free yourself' you must make your heart stop, and that he's done it through meditation. She ended up getting back on the phone with me and telling me that I am a demon as well and that she needs to free me so that we may finish our 'mission', I told her at that point that it was a lot to take in and I needed to think about it, and that I would call her later. She asked me if I thought she was crazy, and my reply was that I didnt say I thought she was... I had a nightmare last night that she came to my house. It scared me so bad and made me sad as well. She's been my best friend for so long, but like I said it's just freaky, could this be some kind of schizophrenia, maybe brought on by an overdose? I've been asking around and have been told that the tripple c, when overdosed on, is like an acid trip? I don't know what to do. I've told her parents, she's only 20 years old. I'm scared. I believe in possession, but I think it's less likely of the two. Please someone help me. I dont want to lose my friend and the way she's talking know is scareing me.

Hey there Smile
It sounds like schizophrenic behavior to me. It often manifests in this form. What can trigger this is highly stressful situation whether at school, bf, work etc. Some drugs such as triple C can enhance the halucinations, Also some vision and eye disorders can cause hallucinations. All these combined can result in odd behavior. Schizophrenics can be very persuasive and often seems like they are talking logically and telling the truth. You need to do a research and see if she's under stress or taking drugs , tell her parents and get help.

Hi Silenced,
If you're there maybe you can tell us how your friend is doing now. Sorry you didn't get more replies to your post. Sounds like one of the types of schizophrenia. I don't think it's real posession. If it was, wouldn't the demon would be talking more sense?. I have major problems with the devil.

The thread was started at the beginning of 2006 and the poster has only a few posts, guys... it's highly unlikely that he's ever gonna come back.

Anyway, much like to the poor girl, wherever she might be now...

Philo could you please pm me with more details about the experiences that you're going through (if you don't mind)?

Aren't there a plethora of symptoms of possession, even none at all at times, I don't think that there are a set number or a set few types of symptoms for possession.
Please indulge us philo, tell us about real possession.
How would you explain her speaking in an unknown langauge, one that she didn't even know?
Maybe all mentally ill people are actually possessed and not the other way around.

Poor kid is probably dead if she didn't get help, and we all know how hard help is to get don't we?

interesting, you assume it's sz, or posession, but her explanation is off the table? because i am much like her, and what she said made alot of sense. only one problem, simple beginner-shaman mistake, she wants to control others. wants to control YOU. madness ought to groom itself. stay inside itself, stop trying to change others, that's not her mission, she's easily misled.

yeah, i'm a "shell", plus more. by default i would agree, many humans are the shells of the spirits who own them, the condensation at the center of a cloud of spirits which the christians call the "cloud of witnesses". one percent of us are called to be a bridge between the worlds. many refuse the request, and suffer forever. i accepted my role.

once i made your first interpretation. went to the pdoc, tried the drugs. very nice, but had nothing to do with my "spiritual problem", which by the way, is a valid category in the DSM-IV.

i also tried your second theory, posession, or i should say my friends and relatives did. i usually said ok to being exorsized, but would freak out at the last minute and refuse to go through with it. but once, with the extra push of a girlfriend's encouragement, i went through with a catholic exorcism. interesting experience. comforting, at the end. saw a twisty grotesque cat come out fo my left shoulder, fly up into the church ceiling.

that night, i went to the demon world, looked around, out of curiosity. it was like walking around nagasaki after the bomb. buildings and infrastructure, but desolate, abandoned. no more demons to be seen! i searched the demon city, and found just one, looking disillusioned, dejected, sitting in a basement at a desk, writing. we got right to work together on calling down more demons. and within six months, just like new orleans after hurricane katrina, we REPOPULATED...

I'm a demon eater. a shaman. I listen to demon language. she's right, nothing to be afraid of, just infinite knowledge. we are like fish to them, they aren't planning fish-kills all the time, they have their own lives, though they would kill a fish for fun or without thinking about it, if the opportunity arose, and some do track down and kill fish for sport, others "protect" and help save "fish" -

i am half human and half demon. demons placed a demon soul inside me at age 5. it matured when i was 35. the demons showed me my magic. i live with them in the demon world, and also maintain a human body in the human world. dual citizenship. i propose peace, a sobornost between the worlds. but you know how it is for world leaders. we still end up fighting huge wars from time to time.

my advice (and from the above post you can tell the mindset of the person this is coming from): she sounds like a leader for the spirit world. she may need training, it's a jungle out there. see a professional shaman.

Just to make something clear, I didn't mean to say I have problems with the real devil, just devil-like phenomena. I approach it as an agnostic, and I don't claim to know for sure what is real here. I surmise though it's a part of the psyche that acts that way, it's nothing from "outside". I have a psychiatric book about posession and the daimonic and there's an article claiming that the "devil" stems from unresolved issues with the father figure, which manifests itself as the devil. An exorcism involving talking to the "father" and the "mother" inside the mind of the patient is described.

People, please try to keep metaphysical discussions with only anecdotal and hearsay evidence off of this forum, there are people here looking for help and I don't want to keep deleting posts. There are no demons, there is no possession, no one can eat demons, stop it.

Okay, sorry. I didn't realize that I was doing something wrong.
And sorry again, I don't know what metaphysical means, or anecdotal for that matter, also, Im a little unclear on what heresay means.

1. Metaphysical refers to talking about things that deal with supernatural events, ie, events that have yet to be explained, often using language that exploits terms that essentially have no real meaning.

2. Anecdotal means basically based on personal stories. Such stories, unfortunately, are 99% of the time over exaggerated and the person basically makes up memories they believe what they think so much.

3. Hearsay means heard it from someone else but did not experience it yourself. All the information above about demons and so forth is only based on these two things and only ever has.
