Ugh... well I have a really weird problem that won't go away.
I am SO afraid of Satan. I mean like seriously afraid of him. It's to the point where I can't sleep 'cause I'm worried he's going to come through the door and kill me.
This happens every night. It takes me hours until I can fall asleep because I start imagining in my mind that Satan is going to do something really bad. Then I have these dreams where I'm possessed.
It's seriously the scariest thing ever. I mean, because I believe that it's all completely real. I know that it's not likely that anything like that would happen, but there's still that small chance that it could...
Ever since I saw The Excorcism of Emily Rose, I have been SCARED. TO. DEATH. And that was a really long time ago when I saw that movie. But I mean that movie is true, and it really happens to people.
PLEASE help me. I need to know how to get rid of this fear of mine.

Something other than that movie is might be playing a part in your problem. When I have issues like that i always talk to my friend and it really helps.

DepthofHeart answered Sunday August 12 2007, 4:12 pm: I get scared easily too, that's why I didn't watch that movie. The exorcism is based on a true story, meaning they also have a creative license to add crap that DIDN'T actually happen.
It's okay to be scared, but you're being extremely paranoid. Just remember that it's just a movie, even if it's based on a true story. If I were you I wouldn't watch those types of movies anymore, at least for a while. I don't know how old you are.
I don't know if you're religious either, but maybe you can pray. It might help you feel...safer or help you overcome your fear.
