I understand that many people claim to be under psychic attack are not really under psychic attack, and that they mistake it for something else. So, that being said, I am not using this term lightly, and if I claim to be under psychic attack but in all actuality am not I apologize for my ignorance on the matter. I didn't even believe I could be psychically attacked. I held a strong belief that my optimism and stubbornness made me resilient to such attacks (my mother always knew my cockiness would be my downfall).

I'm not sure when this happened, but I started noticing about two weeks ago or so, that I've waking up multiple times in the middle of the night. I go to bed early, between 8:30-9:30 every night. I wake up at 5 to get to work where I work construction for 10 hours a day, and most days I come home exhausted ready to fall asleep. It surprised me that with how exhausted I was that I was waking up in the middle of the night. Then it progressed to waking up earlier in the morning. Now I can't even sleep, I took benadryl last night as my last effort to fall asleep, I just ended up with my head fuzzy from benadryl and still unable to slip.. and I took enough to knock me out I have no doubt about it.

Due to my ADHD I tend to think about everything I can all throughout the day, whether its about my childhood, daydreaming about any number of topics, or figuring out a problem at work. On a normal day I just think about as many things as possible and my head is usually quite noisy from it. Today, I can't hear anything, I can't think of anything. It's as if It's all being drowned out by something. The thing that's drowning it out, I can feel it, but I can't quite hear it. It feels like a ball of static you'd get on the TV, but instead of white noise, I get hit with unprecedented, overwhelming rage, depression, loneliness, fatigue, and dread. I already had a psych evaluation just a few weeks ago and the doctor said I only have ADHD, and that's not the first psychiatrist to tell me that. So with that in mind I ruled any mental disorder out such as bipolar, insomnia, depression, etc. I then tried to determine if there was something in my life that would cause any of this, and once again nothing came up. My life is actually very good, I'm in a happy engagement, I just got promoted at work, I have good friends, and I have good hobbies that keep me busy. So I ruled that out as a cause.
I don't have any trauma or childhood scars that would pop up, and I haven't sensed any presence in my apartment.
I actually have noticed scratches on my hips, stomach and legs when I wake up in the morning. It's odd since they are smaller then a cat scratch but sting just as much. My cat doesn't sleep in my room at night and I would know where she would've scratched me. But sometimes it's on my hips, hidden by pajamas at night, even if the cat was in my room I wouldn't have gotten scratched there.So I coming to the conclusion of psychic attack. I can't sleep anymore, and I can get overwhelmingly enraged at my fiance for no reason and it takes a lot from me to be able to not act on whatever emotions are being thrown at me, and I actually have a reputation among friends and coworkers for being very laid back and easy going. I know very well this is very much the opposite of my normal behavior which is why I'm not sure what I should be doing.
So can anyone help confirm my theory or tell me I'm crazy? Is there anything that I should be doing? If it is psychic attack, could I wait it out to study the side effects for future protection?

What meds are you on? When was the last time you had a physical? How old are you? What is your gender? Do you use drugs recreationally, if so what and how much/often? Do you have a history of mental illness besides the ADHD?

In addition to these questions, do you have any previous experience with any spiritual, energetic, meditative or magical practices or disciplines? Or have you previously experienced any spiritual phenomena or encounters (spontaneous - visions or visitations/clairvoyance/out of body experiences/near death experiences/psychokinesis, etc). Or do you know anyone who is involved in any of these practices or has undergone any of these experiences?

I have practiced meditation for the last 4 years, and ceremonial magick for a year now. I am not any master or expert in any regard, but I have had experience developing the qualities need for proper meditations, astral projections, ceremonial rituals, and psychic exercises. I can feel the energies of people I talk to and I'm very familiar with different form of energies. I have been seeing apparitions lately, only for the last few months, and I hear short sentences at times which I believe to be from a spiritual realm.

As I said before, I am no master or expert. However, I do feel very comfortably involved and well exercised in my spiritual and occult practices.

Thank you for you questions!

Have you read Dion Fortune's Psychic Self Defense?

Not yet but I do own a copy.

What type of construction? If you work with fiberglass insulation, that could account for the irritation.

And when was the last time you cleaned your bedsheets? Maybe you've picked up some bed lice or other critter from your construction job.
add a bit of apple cider vinegar to the wash, maybe a half cup.
You could even brew up some Four Thieves Vinegar and add some of that to the wash, if you're convinced it's a psychic attack.

I'm going to step out on some thin ice here.

Ifrit, what I'm about to say is difficult in a written format. Without being able to hear tone or see body language things can be taken the wrong way. It is my intention to be helpful and compassionate - not mean or picking on you in any way.

First, I would like to thank you for you honesty when discussing medical matters. This is important for several reasons and is also why some members may be hesitant to say more. With that out of the way... It's been my experience that those I know personally with ADD have a tendency toward being 'sensitive'.

Honestly, that sounds more like a haunting than a psychic attack. There's a reason the following questions have become cliche on tv shows. Have you recently moved into a new place? Have you done any construction where you live currently?

Do you have any idea who you could've pissed off enough to hit you this hard with a psychic attack - if this is one?

I'd also suggest you answer Manonthepath's questions - we can't advise you if we don't have all the proper info.

What meds are you on? When was the last time you had a physical? How old are you? What is your gender? Do you use drugs recreationally, if so what and how much/often? Do you have a history of mental illness besides the ADHD?

I would also like to mention that when looking for answers within the occult - ruling out physical and medical problems IS the responsible thing to do. Please don't take this as a jab.

Ifrit. Answering some of these questions will help us to help you. [thumbup]

Thanks for the help guys! I agree with what RoseRed said (and no offense taken btw). I need to rule out all other options before I determine it's an occult related event. Im 19 male, in relatively good shape. I had a physical recently and they said everything was good besides minor scoliosis. I stopped taking medication and all other recreational drugs a long time ago because I felt liked it ruined my clarity and it made me feel dirty. And as far as I and the doctors know, I only have ADHD. Also, I am very hygienic, so I wash sheets and blankets on a weekly basis, my apartment stays clean (most of the time). The only other people I can think of that would are pissed off at me is my mom; who used to practice witchcraft but is now a devout christian and refuses to acknowledge the occult as anything less then devil worship. And there's my downstairs neighbor since I live in an apartment. I found out that she practices voodoo, but I haven't really talked to her that much. The only experience we've had is that she has hit my car and didn't tell me about it so we're in the middle of an insurance battle over that.

And don't worry about offending me. I understand the responsible and intelligent thing to do is to rule out all other possibilities. Because hopefully, if it isn't a haunting or a psychic attack it'd be a lot easier to fix.

How's your diet and nutrition?

Certain deficiencies are known to cause some of the symptoms you describe. The western diet is particularily lacking in magnesium, and individuals who change their diets/add supplements tend to feel better in a matter of weeks or months. I'd reccommend reading about vitamin D3, magnesium and inositol (none of these are drugs, perse). You can talk with your doc about these, too.

I found out that she practices voodoo, but I haven't really talked to her that much. The only experience we've had is that she has hit my car and didn't tell me about it so we're in the middle of an insurance battle over that.

Soooooooooo, I would probably start reading about how to defend myself against voodoo.

Could it be possible that her practicing Voodoo has attracted unwanted entities into the area as well? And since my apartment is next to hers I'm a part of that vicinity?

Based on everything you have shared I tend to feel that the issue may involve your health situation more than voodoo. True Voodoo attacks are pretty nasty and hard to mistake for anything else.The fact that your sleep and emotional patterns tend to be more or less consistent leads me to intuit that you may be well advised to visit a skilled acupuncturist and herbalist. Waking up between 3-5am in an agitated state can indicate a sensitivity issue involving the way you are processing nutritive energy. The intense surges of emotion may be indicative of a lack of regularity in your body's dynamic. If you aren't willing to seek out a skilled acupuncturist, then you may want to include more green veggies in your diet, increase water intake and eat things like steamed beets, raw whole cloves of garlic and to use spices like ceyenne and tumeric. These will at least build your hemoglobin and clean some pathogens out of your blood, which may help bring more oxygen to your cells. You really need to consult with a pro on this.

Now on the Voodoo thing, do you have any other evidence to really lead you to believe you are under attack in addition to what you've already written? Have you found any dead animals or animal parts within a block of your home? Have you found any broken pieces of glass with blood or rusty looking fluid near your front or back doors? Do you hear any faint strands of strange music or chanting in the middle of the night? How far is the nearest cemetary from your home?

No, They usually deal with more hands-on things like gris gris and physical things.

But combining something like the The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram with better nutrition and some healthy conversations with friends or a professional to get you out of the apartment more often is probably a good idea.

No wonder you asked about psychic attacks. Fun with voodoo. Ugh.

IF and it's a big if, this is a psychic attack - the severity would depend on the practitioners skill level. There are a lot of people that practice (or play with) voodoo but aren't clergy. I think it's possible that someone with Talent could get Spirits or entities involved even without realizing it.

I'd go with the basics - salt, smudge (your home and yourself), claim your space (home and car), create a protection talisman - stuff like that. It may not help but it's also not going to hurt.

Get some hematite. Whether you go with the jewelry or just a rock to keep in your pocket - it's good for things like this.

Thank you everyone for the advice I really appreciate it. I will definitely go see a specialist and see what I can do to improve my diet. Finding an acupuncturist wouldn't be hard where I live since I'm a few miles away from a University with an acupuncture and oriental medicine doctorate program. And thank you rose red for the advice, I'll start doing those things right away.

And as far as the voodoo goes, I have no knowledge of voodoo, or what it looks like. It was just a thought that popped into my head. I haven't found anything that would imply that is in fact voodoo. And after reading the comments here, it doesn't seem like psychic attack either (thankfully).

Ifrit, from all that you have written, my analysis of your situation is as follows:

You sound like you have both feet on the ground, are intelligent, occultly experienced to some degree, AND you took the initiative and made sure this problem was not either physical or mentally induced. The actual scratches and the fact that your neighbor practises Voodoo, AND is ill-disposed towards you, I think you may have intuited or instinctually felt correctly.

I myself at one time had a young and very beautiful Negress dancer and her boyfriend (she claimed to be a triple Scorpio) living in our house for awhile. She claimed that both her mother and her Grandmother had practised very dark Voodoo and had caused the deaths of a number of people, including by burning them to death. I began to feel a strange energy, like an alien kind of energy that was "sucking" my life-force, starting at both my wrists, but later progressing up my arms also. I contacted someone who had more experience than myself in this field, and he advised that the problem was a Voodoo Orisha that had decided to attack me (because of merely the presence of the young Negress in the house, similar to your problem), and told me to use the LBRP as soon as possible. When I began the ritual, immediately I felt the same kind of activity coming up my feet and into my legs. BUT, by the time I was finished with the LBRP, all the sensations had dissappeared except right at the wrists, and gradually over the next couple weeks that sensation also dissappeared.

Certainly, try the LBRP and do it with great intent and concentration. View my online article called THE RECTIFIED LESSER BANISHING RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM on SCRIBD.COM, which can be viewed and downloaded for FREE. Vizualize all the NAMES, the Pentagrammatic Circle and Sephirot in Brilliant Scintillating white light. Vibrate the NAMES as powerfully, not necessarily loudly, as you can. If the reason for your problem is an occult one, the LBRP should take care of it.
