I am posting to request prayer and advice if possible.

Sometime back, I met with an exorcist who told me that I need minor exorcism prayers. He said that he was far too busy to help me though, and sent me off to find a priest on my own. He said that since I only need minor prayers, any priest could help me and asked for me to find one who would.

At first I ended up with a Novus Ordo exorcist who botched everything. I asked my local priest for help, but he refused.

I started asking all the priests that I could. One after another kept turning me away. They always were either too busy, or had some other reason why they could not help. Often I was ignored for weeks, even months on end, only to be told in the end that they could not help me and refused to recommend someone who they knew might be able to.

They also kept sending me back to the Novus Ordo exorcists. Finally, in desperation I tried to work with another Novus Ordo exorcist, who again was entirely unhelpful. It was so bad that even the traditional priests felt I should try to find a traditionalist to work with me, and not him, but they could not find anyone who would.

I begged, pleaded, begged and begged again and again for someone who can use the traditional rites to help me. But everyone always had an excuse.

I have been asking for years now, and it is getting very difficult. The Novus Ordo priests are always willing to help, but the traditionalists will not. The traditional exorcists either say that my problems are not bad enough and so I should work with a diocesan priests (or come up with some other reason), and the diocesan priests say that they have a million reasons why they cannot do that and that I should be with an exorcist.

The last person that I asked told me point blank that the Novus Ordo prayers are not effective and can only make my situation worse, but then told me that my only option is to go to my liberal diocesan exorcist and have those same Novus Ordo prayers said over me. When I asked for help to find a traditional exorcist, after another one had refused to help me, I was refused that help.

I posted here because I wanted to ask for prayer and also to ask if it is normal to have ones problems worsened by the constant rejection from those who will not help?

After awhile, when you keep asking for help and keep being rejected, it seems to make things a lot worse. Is that normal? To have ones problems worsened by the endless rejection?

I will pray for you too. Ave Maria!

Remember to say short prayers aloud repeatedly, from the heart, like 'Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, protect us.' The holy name said aloud thwarts the demons.

Like flies being struck, they fly away, then of course, often enough they come back swiftly, until you say the prayer again.

The St. Michael prayer, recourse to Our Lady, and of course, giving up sinful habits, vices, rather having habits of virtue instead of vices are all key. Praying acts of perfect contrition. Praying acts of charity.

As I'm sure someone who has been through so much knows, but it's good to remember the basics. :D

Also having an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus through which you honor Him is helpful.

The demons try for extremes, attachments, sins, against the virtue of temperance. But God is the answer to everything. :D

Thank you for the prayers and suggestions. :-)

I suppose what I am wondering is if it is true that the constant refusal to help is a normal catalyst for worsening the problem.

When I worked with the Novus Ordo exorcist, they had me tested by a psychologist.

The psychologist I worked with told me that it is very normal for someones problems to be worsened by the refusal of others to help in any way, and to instead just close the door in their face without offering any other help so to speak. He told me it was normal for me to feel worse as a result of the way I was treated (still am treated).

Sort of like how in the beginning of psychology there were huge scandals due to patients being denied help and ignored. They felt it was cruel because the people needed help and were reaching out but were not getting it.

It has worsened my problems by about 80% - in a way, it would almost be better if I had never tried to reach out to get help. The majority of the suffering that I have gone through is a result of the way I have been treated when I try to get the right type of help.

So I wanted to ask others if that constant refusal and being spun in circles by people is a normal catalyst for worsening a problem?

I have to be honest that if I was a weaker person I probably would have killed myself as a result of this treatment by now - not as a result of my problem, but as a result of the constant rejection to the point of people being harsh and unkind.

I appreciate your thoughts.
