When negative energy wins

 While energy is considered a positive thing, when you become controlled by destructive energy pendulum, it will begin taking round your own life like a marionette. You will no longer consciously understand why it is happening, and most likely, it will be presented to you in a sequence of "teaching", like training a puppet, which will lead to your eventual demise. You will have a few warnings, but by that time you are being PLAYED. There is nothing you can do at that point.

In smaller effects, before the final destruction happens, this manifests as seemingly insignificant "brain fog" issues, where you slowly begin to lose control. After a phone call with your relative, some task interrupted at work or an argument with your other half, the world is spinning, and you are in it, but you are no longer in control. You will go through the motions as an empty shell. This is where it begins, and it takes a few years to fully materialise. By that time your energy vampires will seemingly have lost interest in you, but will appear to be concerned while offering no solution or providing any real help. They may, in the beginning re-appear a few times, seemingly re-uniting with you until you are left completely alone. The demise is near. Loss of ability to work, a slow drain of financial resources, various issues of dependency on things, food and drink you can no longer afford. In some cases you will be offered help, but it will ALWAYS come in one form only - suggestion to seek mental advice, join a support group, or, as it happened to me - some links to charities supporting homeless people.

On the surface, you are the one who is now insane. They are doing all the right things, and you are being an absolute failure to reject their help.
