The answer
It is certainly good news that you are no longer experiencing these tormenting spiritual afflictions; but it is unclear what produced them initially, how they persisted for two years, and what good has now come out of it. There are many struggles, inner and outer, emotional, psychological, social, etc., which can also lead to or mimic spiritual affliction if allowed to persist. Have these issues been addressed? How has your spiritual life now changed? Are you confessing, attending Liturgies, and partaking of the Holy Communion on a regular basis? A life of repentance and partaking of the Holy Eucharist for the remission of sins are the true essentials for salvation and eternal life, and no test can meet the measure of this Greatest Gift.Mere signs and wonders alone are not enough; besides would discerning their authenticity matters, if one's conduct does not change? Remain steadfast in prayer and moderate in fasting with the guidance of your confession father. "...Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have enlarged; bring me out of my distresses! Look on my affliction and my pain, and forgive all my sins..." (Psalm 25:16-18).
