“I didn’t want to do that. I’m ready [to die], just put me out of here.” – the silence and then calmness of the perp is most chilling.
Most people still do not realize the demonica is being accepted, driven into the psyche by vogue, music, RF radiation. Look to the MK mood drugs combined with RF radiation and degradative societal influences.
That poor kid is probably still on his miserable path of self destruction. Family, society, law, menacing machine still do not understand, actively working against him and all other young males.
The overwhelming judgmentalism of basically all of the comments left on this video prove the insidious nature of what males face, how genius the evil truly is.
It turns children against family, society, God.
Short version first: there isn’t one single “official” universal demon whose only job is “make you self-destruct.” Different traditions frame that role in different ways — usually as destruction, despair, or suicide. Here are the main names that line up with that function:
1. Abaddon / Apollyon
- Title: “The Destroyer.”
- Source: Book of Revelation 9:11 calls him the angel of the bottomless pit, king of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon (“destruction”) and in Greek Apollyon (“the one who destroys”). (Revelation 9:11)
- Role: Abaddon/Apollyon isn’t just about killing bodies in battle. In later demonological reading, he’s seen as the force that pushes a person or a nation into ruin from the inside — corruption, sabotage, collapse. So if you’re talking about an entity whose nature is literally annihilation — physical, mental, spiritual — this is the closest to “demon of self-destruction.”
People who work in ritual/occult framing will sometimes invoke Abaddon specifically when talking about someone being “on a path to destroy themselves from within,” i.e. controlled demolition of the self.
2. The “Noonday Demon” (Acedia / Despair)
- Source: early desert monastic literature, especially Evagrius Ponticus (4th century) and John Cassian’s Institutes, Book 10. (John Cassian, Institutes, Book X; Evagrius Ponticus, Praktikos)
- Role: This isn’t a Hollywood horned demon. It’s described as a real, external spiritual force that hits at mid-day with hopelessness, apathy, self-hatred, “nothing matters,” “your life is pointless,” and urges to abandon the path and give up entirely — including ending one’s own life. Monks treated this as an attack, not “just a mood.”
- Why this matters: In that system, despair is not an emotion, it’s an entity. The Noonday Demon’s entire tactic is psychological self-destruction.
If you’re asking specifically “what’s the demon whose power is to make you give up and wipe yourself out,” this is the most literal match in classic Christian/monastic demonology.
Names you’ll see for it:
- “Acedia” (sloth/despair/torpor)
- “Daemon meridianus” / “the noonday devil” (Psalm 91:6 in the Vulgate is interpreted this way in later commentary)
3. Legion
- Source: Gospel of Mark 5:2–5 and Luke 8:27–33. (Mark 5:2–5; Luke 8:27–33)
- Role: “Legion” is not one demon but many unclean spirits inside one man. What matters is the behavior:
- He lives among tombs (surrounded by death)
- He constantly cuts himself with stones (self-harm)
- He is uncontrollable and destructive toward his own body
This is one of the oldest textual examples linking demonic presence to compulsive self-mutilation and suicidal environment.
So if you want a scriptural/Christian answer for the force that drives a person to injure or kill themselves: Legion is explicitly shown doing exactly that to its host.
4. Samael
- Source: Jewish apocryphal and mystical literature, including parts of the Zohar and later Kabbalistic tradition. (Zohar I:148a–b; also medieval Kabbalah)
- Names/titles: “Poison of God,” “Angel of Death.”
- Role: Samael is the tempter, the accuser, and the bringer of death. He’s described as the one who goads humans into sin that destroys them — not just externally, but spiritually and psychologically.
- Functionally, Samael is the force that whispers self-damaging choices and then executes the death sentence that those choices invite. In some readings, that includes turning a person against their own life.
So in Jewish occult framing, Samael is often the closest thing to “the one who lures you into self-ruin and then claims you.”
5. Ixtab (for completeness, outside Abrahamic demonology)
- Source: Postclassic Maya belief.
- Role: Ixtab is depicted as the goddess of suicide, often shown as a hanging figure with closed eyes. She’s not “evil” in that system — suicide under certain conditions was seen as a protected/privileged death and she escorts that soul. (Diego de Landa, Relación de las Cosas de Yucatán, 16th c.)
- Why mention her: In Western demon-talk people sometimes say “suicide demon,” but historically, in Maya cosmology, it’s a suicide goddess/psychopomp, not a tormentor. Still, people fold her name into modern occult lists when they’re really asking “who governs the act of self-killing.”
Putting it together
If you’re talking specifically in the Western demonology / occult-warfare sense (“the entity that pushes a human to destroy themself”), two names are most on-target:
- The Noonday Demon / Acedia / Despair
- Specializes in psychological collapse and convincing you that ending yourself is logical.
- Treated by early monastic writers as an external attacker whose weapon is suicidal hopelessness. (John Cassian, Institutes, Book X)
- Abaddon / Apollyon (“The Destroyer”)
- Embodies annihilation and guided self-ruin — the principle of total internal collapse. (Revelation 9:11)
“Legion” is the textual case study of possession that causes ongoing self-harm (Mark 5:2–5), and “Samael” is the death tempter/executioner in Jewish mysticism (Zohar I:148a–b), so those two also get cited when people talk about forced self-destruction.
If you want one single name to use in ritual language for “the spirit of self-destruction,” traditional exorcism-style circles most often point to Despair / the Noonday Demon. In apocalyptic / Revelations-style circles they invoke Abaddon/Apollyon.
