RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

i'm genuinely starting to believe that some sort of demon or satan himself is inside me. i know it's not real and i should get help, which i am getting, but i just needed some comfort or perhaps anecdotes. no criticism please and i don't think i need advice, i'm getting help and i will talk to someone. it feels like a demon is giving me urges to say mean things i normally wouldnt say. i'm crazy aren't i?

i just need comfort or perhaps someone share similar experiences.

It's good that you're getting help when you need it. I also see a lot of people having problems with cognitive functions lately. I think it's caused by a number of things:

Politics. I'm not expanding that one.
The aftermath of Covid-19. Lots of people with brain fog and other lingering issues of body and mind.
The temperature. temperatures above 22 °C/72 °F can also cause brain fog.
Atmospheric CO2 levels. The current levels of CO2 in the atmosphere can cause indoors levels to peak higher than before. It has health risks.
Unhealthy online habits. I find it quite difficult to not fall for the "engagement" traps designed to make you stick around on different websites, so you can be served more ads. The ads are not the problem, the bait is a lot of times.
