Reddit reviews Spiritual Protection: A Safety Manual for Energy Workers, Healers, and Psychics

Okay, I looked at your other post via your profile. I've been through that. You can go the psychiatric route, or you can go the psychic protection route, or you can do both. (I take Lithium, have a diagonisis of "Schizoaffective disorder," and do protection workings as well). My advice would be to do the protection workings, not tell anyone (including your doctor) about them, and get on medications to be safe.

The rational explanation is you're experiencing "delusions of reference" as well as obsessive compulsive intrusive thinking. If you think you're going to do anything crazy (as in, violent towards yourself or others) out of desperation, definitely get medical help or call the authorities. If you need some resources, try your local NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) branch. It is better to wind up on a psych ward doped up on benzos than in a prison cell block or the far side of eternity. Having said that, our friends in rationality land should be the first to readily admit nobody knows what the fuck is going on with psychosis. I was a total mess before I got serious about protection magic, and it's eliminated or severely reduced many of my symptoms.

Now, psychiatry may or may not work; I've found antipsychotics and antidepressants are worse than sugar pills for me (they make me sick as hell and cause me to put on weight, but apparently work for other people, however), and warding, shielding, banishing, etc.- basic defensive workings, practiced regularly- do way more to help with the symptoms. On the other hand, Lithium works really well with me- mellows me out and enables me to focus, read, and be productive (I was unable to focus on reading materials for almost a decade after the onset of whatever the hell happened). Your mileage may vary. I've come to the conclusion that I've got both a mental disorder and uh, unwanted visitors and energies trying to barge in regularly.

Get used to the fact that you might not be able to watch TV (including YouTube videos, movies, etc.) for a while, if ever again. You're not going to have a normal life, at least not for a while. I don't bother with film media of any sort.

Here's a few resources you might find handy, however strange they may be:
Spiritual Protection by Sophie Reicher
Protection and Reversal Magic by Jason Miller

Basically it works like this. If you do the protection work (occult stuff) and get no results, DEFINITELY get into psychiatric care. If you get into psychiatric care and don't get results, at least TRY defensive workings. Do both if you want to be safe, which is probably what you want right now. If you do both, I really don't recommend talking to the psychiatrist about any spiritual/magical practices; in any event that's your business, not theirs.

The Sophie Reicher book is the superior one in my opinion, not to knock Jason Miller.

If you've got more questions, I'll help if I can.
