> I think we are using the word "spiritual" differently. I did not mean it to describe an evil entity that takes possession of souls. You are not possessed. It is not uncommon that one becomes angry with God for the affliction and pain you suffer. The voices in your head are most likely intrusive thoughts related to your illness. You are having a dialog with yourself, not with a demon.

Nothing has changed with my illness, but I am no longer angry with God. It is a difficult thing to work through, and it takes time. In the meantime, you shouldn't think that you are a bad person. God knows what has happened to you and forgives you for being angry with Him.
