I was in Medjugorje in early May with my husband. We went independently not part of any group as such but under the umbrella of Marian Travel. It wasn't an easy trip and I was suffering in various ways for most of the week. In fact I thought I won't go back but then accepted and offered up what was going on
On our final day we went into the old church yard where there is a little shrine to Our Lady with baby Jesus. I wanted to pray the Seven Sorrows Rosary to which I have devotion. On the way there I thought I should have asked a priest for a blessing on us as a couple but I'm a bit shy on approaching a priest on the street. We were sitting within the little circular shrine hidden from view. Suddenly a priest came in and handed my husband a prayer card to Theotokos of the Inexhaustible Chalice. He was a Melkite Catholic priest who had been born in Nazareth but now ministers to Melkite community in Canada. He explained that this is an image of a very ancient Russian Icon that disappeared during the revolution. It has been repainted and the image has shed holy oil in the church in Canada. Four copies were made of the image and they also shed oil.
I asked him if he would give us his blessing. He opened a case he was carrying and he had one of those four images that had shed Holy Oil. He prayed over us and blessed us with the holy image. I was blown away. I told him I had asked Our Lady that I might meet a priest to give us a blessing before leaving Medjugorje. He said it's not me it's Our Lady who has come in here and blessed you. He then left. We looked out of the shrine and he was gone and there was not one other person in the old church yard so he came in and found us.
Expect the unexpected. You are saving many souls by offering up all your pain and anguish. This side of eternity you cannot see that but I bet you will have a big reception group when you arrive in Heaven.

Going through unpleasant stuff at the moment thinking that I am damned but trying to pray through it. I'm afraid I have lost God and Jesus. Going to medjugorje next week hopefully this will help with the darkness

The attacks get worse as you approach your trip i would imagine. Thoughts of damnation are temptations. Don't give in.

The temptations can be very difficult but I try to pray my way through them.
