The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I haven't had that personally, but it's extremely typical of OCD. OCD always takes the worst things it can think of to turn into obsessions. It IS possible to get better. Please don't give up hope! How are you feeling today?
It's absolutely horrible to constantly feel like you want these thoughts you love them at first it started out with immense fear and other hatred and disgust towards the thoughts now my brain is so warped from constant fighting it's like my chemicals have become used to this type of lifestyle I understand intrusive thoughts my main thing is intrusive speech if intrusive thoughts can lead to some form of tourette's constantly wanting to blurt out things against the Holy Spirit sometimes I do sometimes I don't I just can't fight it anymore I keep telling myself it's some type of mental illness that has escalated to a place but I can't quite describe but I mean I'm okay I live life like I said I've been trying to do erp therapy just letting the thoughts be there just letting what happened happen but at the same time it still doesn't go away I can ignore the thought I can let it be there when I feel the thoughts coming when I feel the urges just giving in to them letting myself do them or what not knowing it's not my true heart but yet they never go away
Yes, random nasty thoughts about people for seemly no reason. Someone could be nice to me, and my thoughts would cuss at them out of anger. I also get alot of negative thoughts that I'm useless, ugly, etc.. It's disgusting, but It's my fault for feeding my mind with garbage (reading evil comments online, watching violent tv show and anime, romance shows that led to lustful thoughts, repeatedly watching cartoons that were filled with demonic symbolism/characters. The worst part is that God doesn't exists in these shows. I also developed some form of trauma when I witnessed a horrific animal abuse video online as a kid).
YES I DO, I dont want to but it just get the urge to say it out loud, then im scared about my intetions because i dont know my intentions.
That's the thing about it deep down you know you don't want to say it or think it because you love God in fact I've been saved since 2009 these things have been there so long it's become like a friend next door so to speak without them I feel totally different I never could get rid of them I prayed I rebuked them in the name of Jesus I even tried medication they just got worse and more sadistic then it became to the point to where my mind was wanting to think then like a part of me not my heart though but it was like my brain was rewired or something then I just let my brain do whatever it wanted to do because I found the more I tried to fight them the worse they would become and even trying erp did not work I'm left with this constant blasphemous mind.......... But yes having urges to tell the you know........ To perform sexual acts to you and then having some OD d urge or some weird intention you may think to say them out loud I don't get it maybe it's something to do with the mind OCD a demon etc don't know
I've had awful/weird obsessions before too. OCD likes to do that to us! But thankfully, having the thoughts does not mean that we want/mean them! Kind of like the "driftwood" analogy....they're like pieces of trash floating by; those of us with OCD try frantically to get rid of them and splash them away, thinking that the presence of the thoughts means we're terrible people, and the thoughts just keep coming because we're paying so much attention to them; but if we learn to treat them as meaningless and just kind of ignore them, they tend to decrease.
yeah i get it, when The Holy Spirit comes up into my mind my mind wants to say something bad about it.
I think context would be helpful here; consider who Jesus was addressing in that verse (Matthew 12:31) .The Pharisees were determined in their rejection of Jesus as the Messiah, even going so far as to attribute His actions to satan (Matthew 12:24). The key word is determined. The Pharisees weren’t afraid that they’d committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, they were determined IN their blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I used to struggle with this too, but eventually I just concluded that if I’m still worried about it, then I don’t think I’ve done it.
