"God is not the author of confusion."
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

This is a lot of information and I'm not sure how it all fits together. But I think you are describing spiritual experiences and some of the hardships of being human.
It is not wrong to have feelings or spiritual experiences, or to be overwhelmed at times. However, it is important for Christians to know God and the Bible well, and to test our experiences by the scriptures.
I think you are going through a lot, based on your other posts. I also think the ways that we experience things in our bodies and souls can be quite varied.
Best to stick to the basic truths and just stay close to God throughout whatever you are thinking or experiencing.
Sometimes an experience could be glorified if people are not careful. I don't think you are trying to glorify experience, but it can happen, and so can confusion especially when physical and spiritual things overlap greatly.
The stuff you said about demonic possession in another post was something different I think - not possession but attack. In stages of sleep and waking, a person could be vulnerable to night terrors which are a combination of physical, spiritual or mental. Prayer helps but you don't need to freak out about possession.
Try not to worry too much, but take care of your health too.

Stop thinking about Jesus' wounds and live your life as who you are. Be the best person you can be and let Jesus worry about Jesus.

I don't know. It's not for me to say but for God to say.
