how do I know for sure if I overcame my fear
I recently suffered intense demonphobia. I had all the symptoms, and if I saw a picture of a demon (a real demon, not some stupid cartoon drawing) I would run away and be traumatized. Even if it wasn't THAT creepy. I asked my guardian angel for help and prayed for protection, remembering my nightmare followed by a panic attack, and I did the rosary and felt better, and after that I stopped feeling sick, and my heartbeat was back to normal, my legs weren't trembling,I started to breath normally, and basically the symptoms stopped. Now when I look at a picture of a demon I only feel a little queasy (to be fair they ARE really creepy) but I wanna know for sure this is over. Any ideas?

If you truly feel you have or are suffering from Demonophobia then you may be in need of professional help to overcome this problem. We are not doctors and we can't make medical diagnoses.
What I think is happening is you have found a way to cope with your fear. Coping is not a cure. Working with a qualified psychologist to overcome this fear is how you become cured.
If you are a young teenager living at home. I suggest you tell your parents of this fear and ask to see a psychologist for help. You may have to work at convincing them of your need for help as they may see this as an outgrowth of when you were younger and saw monsters under your bed.
If this happens then I suggest talking to the school nurse or your guidance counselor at school. They may be able to have you speak to the schools psychologist who can then talk to your parents for you.
I hope I have helped.

Same thing as watching scary gorey movies. When we are young, our minds are more impressionable.
Our subconscious minds are able to bring up fears and terror and anxiety and such, negative emotions if what we focus the most of our energy on with our conscious minds is negative stuff like demonic images. On the contrary, if what we have a fascination for and what we are drawn to is something positive, there will be no negative feelings coming up, only positive ones.
Ever ask yourself why you feel you have to seek out these images? It's not like its out there everywhere one goes in public. You're only going to see it if you go looking for it.
So the answer is simple. Stop looking at pictures of demons or devils or anything else that isn't something good and worthy of praise!!!
You must be religious so think about the following bible verse and try to adhere to what it says cus right now you're doing the opposite.
Philippians 4:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
