Im six months pregnant and I've been suffering from anxiety for the past month, mainly worrying about my baby. I seemed to get over that then the blasphemous thoughts about the Holy Spirit started. Well a few days after that I was at work and had a sudden thought that my baby was the devils and that I must have slept with him. I immediately rebuked it but I couldn't get it off my mind. For the past few days I kept thinking about sleeping with the devil and I'm so upset by this. I don't want to have these thoughts but I keep thinking if I don't want them and don't want to do that then why do I keep having them? I feel like I've cheated on my husband and I'm so scared that I've opened myself up to demonic oppression. I know God can forgive everything but I'm starting to doubt my salvation and I'm wondering if I have a demon. Any thoughts??

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.

Hi, Ann,
You are an infinitely loved child of God, and these thoughts are classic OCD. I've battled very similar thoughts, myself. I have a feeling pregnancy hormones may be to blame for your spiked anxiety and intrusive thoughts. (Hormones really whack out my OCD!)
God's love is greater than any scary scenario you've dreamed up. Moreover, He has already forgiven you of all sin--past, present, and future. He already knows and forgives all the scary obsessions, compulsions, and even the true sins that you will commit--and He still chooses to see you as perfect in Christ now and for eternity!
I said a prayer for you and your baby.

you did not open yourself to demonic opression. Those are involuntary thoughts and i know of people who struggled with the same thoughts whom God restored. You are a beloved daughter of God and nothing can happen to you,

Thoughts like this I still struggle with...what I try to remember is that it is a mental condition that is causing the thoughts, not my own self but OCD and the same is true with you...lately though these thoughts have just progressed to "Why does God then allow me to have these thoughts?" and I start doubting His goodness.
This is when I remember His cross and the price He paid to prove His love for me and pay my debt and then I have relief, at least until the process starts again. Sometimes all we have to hold on to is the cross of Christ and the truth of His love for us and it IS enough in those times (and all times).
Hold on to your faith and learn to live with your disorder, it is a hard struggle.

Also, the more we try to NOT think about something, the more difficult it is not to think about it. If someone tells you not to think about green monkeys under any circumstance, the more you will! So dont fight the thoughts. I know thats difficult but if you dont allow them to panic you, eventually they will fade out. Paradoxical but it works.
