That being said a conversation about this with a qualified therapist would be very constructive.

listen you wouldn't understand unless something happened to you,
im a very logical person,

not every strange thing in this world is a fabrication of the mind of man,

if we dont draw the line somewhere where would the questioning end?
perhaps I dont beleive that we exist, so we as a race dont exist?

It's equally uninspiring to assume that everything you think you see is literally real. The exporation has to start somewhere, and it should begin at the least exotic and expand to more interesting venues. This is what scientists and even your family doctor do all the time. When you're sick, they check for common ailments, and then they look for symptoms of anything unusual. If they're still stumped, they send you along to a specialist. The specialist does the same thing and hopefully works out exactly what's wrong with you, and you get the treatment you need. You don't run to get a CT scan over every brain fart you have (though getting one once in a while isn't a bad idea), and you don't run to get a colonoscopy everytime you get an ache in the region.

As frustrating as this may seem to you, that is what many of the members of this forum have been doing. They've been suggesting things they're familiar with as a possible source of your visions, and, since they're admittedly unqualified to make a proper diagnosis, they're asking you to see a professional. Upon finding that you've already seen the professional, they advised you to see someone with a better depth of knowledge in regard to what they think might be the source of your problem. They mean well, and it would be nice of you to try to understand that. They've been doing exactly what they SHOULD be doing under the circumstances.

I've never had any experiences with supernatural presences, demonic or otherwise. Does that mean i'm not spiritually connected, or i'm just normal(ish)? I'm surprised that so many people have had experiences with supernatural beings.

I'd say, you're normal(ish).:D

But I wouldn't necessarily label (not implying that you are) anyone who has experienced such things to be abnormal(ish).

as for me , ill belive in demons when i see one .unless you count QTR when shes in a bad mood.but i would first seek medical advice before it got out of hand and its one reason i lock my sock puppets up at night. the last thing we need is for them to get loose.

Why does everyone assume i have something wrong with me?

Lots of people here talked about hallucinations and hearing prople talk to them,

Ive never had people talk to just % strange experiences that were clear lucid and in which Ive been awake and stayed awake,

Ive had weird dreams before and night sweats,

what the heck master V talks to tree spirits all the time!

Yet everybody thinks I need a CT,
except for a few people,
Ive had weird dreams and think I can tell the differance,

most of my experiences I have physical evidence and 2 of them I have witnesses that saw the exact same thing I did,

Ive been to specialist doctors Ive been to Northern CAlifornias Leading Neurologist, Ive had numerous CT scans, because I have a knee problem, and they didn't know if it was a neurological disorder, Ive been through the wringer

Ive been to a pschycologist, And he asked me questions,
he wnt through ocd, panic attacks, bipolar,ng and Ive checked out fine,

Remember I do have religous beliefs-geese,
I do beleive that the spiritual world effects this one in some ways.
Just because you believe in nothing but atheism doesn't mean Im squared in with your beliefs.

I do have my eccentric ways and the only reason I believe what I saw was a spiritual encounter is because it wasnlike anything Ive ever encountered before and I had feelings and saw things that I know cant be explained.

I would n't go around levying charges at myself that I see demons unless i was dang sure of what i saw

yeah there are alot of crazies out there saying weird stuff, but Im just weird

and why do you call them visions?
It doesn't have anything to do with my name flappy cat.

I dont think everything I or anybody sees is literally real,
Im not denying that most people that see things are crazy

and I do believe in modern pscyiatry
I just think that there is more out there than you believe flappy cat
Im a very sceptical person flappycat im not some idiot who believes everything thats told to them,

I have my religious beliefs because i believe they are the most logical,
with my knowledge they are the ones i chose.

I have as well, but in my case I've always supposed they were the result of hormonal imbalances.

(you probably already noticed I'm one of the people who haven't suggested anything.)

If it doesn't affect your ability to function as a productive citizen, disrupt your family life, cause detriment to your health, or keep you from being a happy and mature person, I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with you, per se. However, this peculiarity could very well turn out to be an epileptic condition, and, if it is, it could be damaging to your health in the long term because of the strain such seizures put on your brain. I would feel much safer for you if you were to get yourself checked for it.

I just think that there is more out there than you believe flappy cat
I think that there is more to the human brain than you would believe. It's a fascinating thing. Pardon me, but I find magical explanations for things to be a little banal for my liking.

Good.

I'm not one to say that "demons" don't exist, but it's healthy to approach problems like this from every angle. If a "demon" broke your arm, you'd need to go to the hospital. If a "demon" messes with your sensories, emotions, or temperment, you need to see a therapist.

Thats because trees have spirits.

I sort of agree with you. I believe the trees are alive, maybe not in the same way, but they are alive and to be respected. BTW, that reminds me, I have this plant and I seem to be killing it, anyone a good horticulturist?

Have you watered the plant? :D

Well, that is good to hear literal visionary.

So what suggestions do you have for battling my own demons?

A QUICK QUESS!
It will be religiously based somehow :p
