My life was devastated. The evil spirit they used to torment me at night. Every night, when I would go to sleep, they used to come on my bed and press me down, choking me. I used to like shouting, but my voice would not come out clearly.<\/p>\n<p>And I used to fight myself to wake up. I never used to be in a deep sleep. I used to sleep and wake, and I could know and feel when these things were happening, choking me, strangling me, and making me really afraid.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I heard voices and footsteps, and when I would turn around, no one was there. I would see shadows sometimes. Even during the day when I would nap, these things used to happen to me even in the daytime.<\/p>\n<p>They used to bring suicidal thoughts. I would think of killing myself, jumping over a bridge. In the night, I always think about doing that. But in the morning, I changed my mind.<\/p>\n<p>I was very lonely. I used to get angry very quickly, and I couldn\u2019t stay alone in the house. I used to curse and drink beer, too.<\/p>\n<p>I was looking at a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ShowdownofFaithTV\/streams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TV program<\/a>,<\/span> and I called<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"tel:18883324141\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the number<\/a><\/span>.
