As a young Christian I thought I had fallen away beyond repentance. But the image of God I fell away from was false. And any thoughtful person would have fallen away from the same with honor. So it is possible your church mislead you presenting a false concept of God. Common today.This is probably a question you guys get asked loads of times, but I couldn't find a situation similar to mine. Mine's probably the worst out of them all.
I was an avid churchgoer as a kid, but I fell away from the faith and stopped believing for about a decade. I would occasionally throw fits of anger and direct my anger at God and go as far as to call him the devil.
My sister's fiance reintroduced me to the faith a couple years later, and although I was a little unsure at first, I started to believe. However, after doing enough research on the Bible and learning about the unforgivable sin, I was consumed by so much anxiety and stress that I said these words "The Holy Spirit is evil" under duress (not because I meant it or was angry with God).
So my ultimate question is: is this sin unforgivable in the sense that words put a seal on your fate and God chooses not to forgive you or in the sense that the person is incapable of repenting? (I really want to repent)

Some people think God is evil. That is more and more common these days with what governments force their people to conform to legally. Have you read the bible? Is the God of the bible evil to you? Then yes you've been brainwashed by the government and it's society.
My suggestion is to repent and move forward of love of God. God has many wonderful feelings to offer his children that follow after him: Galatians 5:22-23
I agree with James Murphy. If it bothers you, you have NOT committed it. Instead you are being spoofed by the world and the devil. It is discouragement intended to keep you from growing up in the faith as God has intended for you.
I suggest you instead focus your mind on who you are as a christian. This list is from Joyce Meyers and it is quite good:

13 I have put off the old man and have put on the new man, which is renewed in the knowledge after the image of Him Who created me (Colossians 3:9-10).

25 I am a joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17).
26 I am more than a conqueror through Him Who loves me (Romans 8:37).
27 I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony (Revelation 12:11).
28 I am a partaker of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:3-4).
29 I am an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20).
30 I am part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people (1 Peter 2:9).
31 I am the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).
32 I am the temple of the Holy Spirit; I am not my own (1 Corinthians 6:19).

40 I am called of God to be the voice of His praise (Psalm 66:8; 2 Timothy 1:9).

43 I am greatly loved by God (Romans 1:7; Ephesians 2:4; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:4).
44 I am strengthened with all might according to His glorious power (Colossians 1:11).
45 I am submitted to God, and the devil flees from me because I resist him in the Name of Jesus (James 4:7).
46 I press on toward the goal to win the prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward (Philippians 3:14).
47 For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
48 It is not I who live, but Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20).
