for a while now, maybe my whole life ive constantly felt followed. i dont want to sound weird but it feels like theres something attached to me, like some entity or something. i only imagine it as a tall, black goopy figure clung to my back, always following me. ive had sleep paralysis many times and a few times where ive felt some thing touching me-- grabbing and holding on, but nothing human like. for the most part, i ignore it, but sometimes it feels drearily negative. any advice??? am i just like schizo or something?

The essence? your story says more about the "delusion of persecution" if it's been so long, why don't you go to the doctor? It's about your psyche, not the fact that some paranormal shit is clinging to you.

I defeated my sleep paralysis demon directly.
I used to have monthslong bouts where I'd have
full blown sleep paralysis episodes nearly every night, After employing
this method I have experienced sleep paralysis twice in seven years, and
neither of those featured the typical horror show.
I don't know if this will work to resolve your situation with the attached entity, but if you're dealing with a run of the mill "fear eater" type thing it's fairly easy to shake off. I will explain from the ground up to be sure all our bases are covered.
First, be aware of your body energy and your aura.
Sit still in a comfortable position and let your breath rise and fall naturally. Keep your attention on your breath but do not manually breathe, simply observe. Other thoughts will drift through your mind, acknowledge them without pursuing them and gently draw your attention back to your breathing. Congratulations, you are meditating! It is much simpler than many try to make it out to be.
Once you feel your state of consciousness begin to "sink", try to feel your body's energy rising up the center of your back to the top of your head with each inhale, and down the center of the front of your body with each exhale. You may visualize this as a stream of pure white light if it helps you.
Now turn your attention outwards, feel the energy that radiates outward from your body. A couple feet out it will terminate in an egg-shaped "bubble" or "membrane"; experiment with this membrane, grow it and shrink it around you, make the "outside" become "spikey" (a useful defense method!), whatever you can think of.
Understand what it is you are dealing with
For your specific situation, you should consult your preferred oracles (if you don't have one, pendulum dowsing is easy, cheap, and quick to get into. Tie any weight you have on hand to a string and google "how to dowse with a pendulum", you'll be getting answers in minutes.
Assuming it's the standard "fear eater" entity responsible for most "sleep paralysis demon" experiences, dude is basically an astral scavenger. He's not very bright, probably not even sentient, and what drives him is simple: hunger. He feeds on energy, and frequently the easiest kind of energy to obtain is human fear since all it takes to get that is pop out and scare the bajeesus out of us.
What is happening during sleep paralysis is this guy is rockin' around the astral plane and he sees you there in your hypnagogic state lighting up that area of the astral plane with the unease and dread that naturally comes with the paralysis state, and so he swoops in and puts on a show for the easy meal.
The good news is that, as incarnate beings, we humans happen to be hella stronk compared to most astral denizens out there. You just don't realize it because your conception of ability and action are linked with bodily movement, which is meaningless in the astral.
So here's what you do:
The next time you have a sleep paralysis experience, DON'T PANIC. Ignore the horror show the fear eater is putting on, and reach out with your energy, with your aura, and GRAB THE MOTHERFUCKER. He will immediately drop the show and start scrambling like the trapped animal he is. At this point simply release and allow him to run away.
If you don't got it and you want to bail:
Wiggle them toes. I'm not kidding, do your best to wiggle your extremities until you wake up. I have found this to be an effective and reliable method for breaking out of sleep paralysis when it occurs.
I hope this helps, definitely keep us posted as the situation develops.

genuinely i would seek some sort of psychological help, but if you cant afford it, or you're sure it's not some kind of neurosis-- here's what you do.
you're going to want to charge some water under a full moon. Just get a jar of water and put it in a window during the full moon. Wake up before the sun rises and take the jar down. you don't want the sun to taint the water.
Once you've got your water, run yourself a bath with Epsom salt. The salt is important for purification and the removal of evil spirits so please don't forget this step.
put the moon water into the bath water--for added purification effects and then meditate in your bathtub until the water gets cold. Think about your peace of mind--think about pushing the evil spirit out of your home.
once you get out of the bath, dry off and drain the water immediately.
if even this doesn't work, you should clean your whole house top to bottom and then perform a cleanse. Take some incense--white sage would work the best but you can also use sandalwood, lavender or even rose. walk around your clean house and ask the spirit to leave. Be firm with it--don't try and bargain.
If the problem persists, try buying a protection spell from your local metaphysical shop or ask the witches there for advice.

What's up dude!
As stated above, paranormal things can be truly paranormal or they could be mundane horrors. Definitely just check your brain, then check your house for mold if it only happens there. I don't know, but I'm not there to scan and there isn't anything for me to use as identifiers in your energy to trace you (I'm pretty intuitive but most of my identity isn't that. I just like to help people.)
so I know you feel like there's an attachment. it's bringing you down. Let's grant that you went through mundane means and "nothing is wrong" and let's grant that you tried fighting it and you got overwhelmed.
I need your favorite music genre, your gender identity, favorite color, and if you have any animals/what they are (like a cat, or a dog, or lizard, don't give me names I'm not trying to phish ya). Cuz you don't sound crazy. and then I'll be able to make a key to filter energies through that can narrow my search. Everybody has an energy signature, and each thing has a specific pattern.
I'm fine with an inbox if you don't wanna just yeet it into the internet proper.
EDIT: I keep forgetting you can go to people's profiles now... I think I have enough data. Bouncing shitty spirits is a job I've taken on.
