First off I’d like to say that there is definitely and absolutely a chance that this might be the start of my psychosis. But at the same time, this just feels too real to not be real. It continues even when I am sober. I am aware I sound crazy.

I have a friend that is schizophrenic. He and I relapsed around the same time (just over a month ago) and I have witnessed the entirety of his mental decline. I’ve never really believed in demons and possession and all that spiritual shit, but throughout the entirely of my life I’ve had some freaky isolated incidents occur where I just FEEL the evil. There’s no other way to describe it.

After our relapse, around a week in he started to speak to me about how God started speaking to him. And I just rolled with it because bro is mentally ill. He stopped taking his meds because it would give him seizures while using. Happened twice before he just went cold turkey. Continuing our binge together (daily) he would slowly get worse and keep on slipping into a catatonic schizophrenic state. He would be in the middle of typing to me for example and I would see him space out and start smiling and just staring randomly. It would take a lot to get him to snap out of it. To the point where I would have yell in his face and start snapping and making noise and then he would finally snap out of it. I would ask him what happened to him and he said not to worry because it was just God speaking to him.

He would make no sense at times, about how he knew stuff about God and how he couldn’t tell me but he knew it himself and I had to figure it out for myself. It would only get worse from there where he told me he would always hear voices speaking to him and how he thought it was creepy but it made him realize how people can hear and speak to others from another dimension through drugs. You can assume all the other weird shit from there. This was about 3 weeks ago.

After hearing all this shit from him I just assumed it was him slipping into psychosis. Keep in mind I’m not enabling this dude. Have been trying so hard to get him to eat drink sleep and take his meds, but he just won’t listen to anyone. He kept on slipping into this schizophrenic catatonic state more and more until the night of the eclipse. That night something terrifying happened. I genuinely have PTSD from this incident.

He lost the ability to speak once the sun went down. Kept on looking around everywhere randomly. Twitching. Acting like he was possessed. It was really scary. Randomly laughing, making weird noises. Gasping. Snarling. He could only communicated through text and he was typing in tongues. Pretending to climb a ladder or rope or some shit. Just being overall acting the weirdest he’s ever been.

And then he locked eye contact with me, and my heart fucking DROPPED. It was not him in there. His face looked completely different. It was something EVIL. I got goosebumps. Staring into his eyes was the scariest thing I’ve ever fucking done. He was staring into my fucking soul. And then it all clicked for me.

It was not God speaking to him. It was a demon. It tricked him, and he allowed it latch onto him. It finally fully sunk its claws into him that night and fully possessed him hasn’t really left since. I called the ambulance on him that night because he wouldn’t take in any external information whatsoever, and scientifically was just going through a mental health crisis. But the paramedics said there was nothing wrong with him. Didn’t give him anything and sent him back inside. After that he just laid down in bed and non stop stared at me. The demon was so happy and curious to be in this world, using his body as a vessel.

Whenever I glanced over he would give this creepy ear to ear grin and my heart would drop. I would get goosebumps. I could feel the evil inside of him. I was sober that night.

Ever since that night, he keeps on slipping from his normal energy, to this demonic like energy. His face keeps on changing from his face to this different face that is not him. When he is not him, I can fucking feel it. He starts acting weird whenever the energy changes. This demon inside of him is acting like a kid exploring the world. It’s so happy it was so easy to use him as a vessel. He basically just let it in.

Once he finally snapped out of it in the morning I asked him what the fuck happened to him and what was wrong.

He just looked up at me scared and said “I…. don’t know.” He doesn’t remember ANYTHING.

I can’t be around him anymore. It’s too scary to witness. I keep on having weird shit happening to me too, that I don’t really want to go into detail on. But hanging around him for so long is causing this Demon to attempt to latch onto me too. He keeps on slipping between himself and this demon possessing him. I know which one it is too. You cannot say his name. But it’s one of the worst ones. I’m terrified around this guy that was once my friend.

I wish I could articulate this all better but typing this makes me scared. It feeds off of negative energy and fear so I have been resisting as much as possible, but I just needed to get this out. I’ve been eating properly, drinking water and sleeping. Unlike him.

I’m aware that he’s just displaying all of the characteristics of psychomotor retardation and is just schizophrenic, but the sober people around me that witnessed him that night were also fucking terrified of him. They could tell what was happening too.

The withdrawal and effects of this drug too are also all of the same characteristics of demon attachment/ attempts to latch onto you. Overall just really freaky shit. Especially how this shit makes you act when you’re on it.

I don’t know how to help my friend. I can’t be around him anymore. I don’t know whether this shit is real or not so I’ve been trying to ignore it. But then he locks eye contact with me again when in this weird state and I get such a strong feeling of DOOM. And the thoughts all start coming back.

TLDR: friend is possessed, and his psychosis is so bad it’s making me slip into psychosis myself.
