• 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.

God knows your heart. He knows your of your anxiety and not wanting to speak out against the Holy Spirit. Blasphemey is intentionally doing this, on purpose.

My suggestion is that you pray when you feel anxious like this and simply tell God that you have no desire whatsoever to do this, praise Him, He listens, loves you and knows of your struggle.

I'm going to pray for God to give you His peace.

I went thru that shortly after my breakdown, i was reading the Word and read the part about blasphemey againt the Holy Spirit and didnt sleep for 2 weeks and i wish i could help you more but all i can tell you is stay occupied, keep your mind off of it as best as you can and eventually it will go away. Also dont worry, if you had comitted the unpardonable sin you wouldnt care that you did, I know that doesnt sound comforting right now and will make you second guess yourself about whether or not you do care, but it's true and you do care or else you wouldnt be here asking for help. If you have any questions, PM me please, i dont want to write to much on a public forum, we have both been there and im sure you understnad how this subject is very sensitive to some people and we dont want to be a stumbling block to our brothers and sisters.
God Bless

j3nny7, yes, this is an obsessive line of thinking that I've struggled with too, as have many other Christians. There are plenty of threads about this in the OCD forum if you're interested.

There is a tendency for people with anxiety/OCD to worry excessively about things like this, and in turn their minds simulate blasphemous thoughts since they are living in fear of blasphemy. I don't believe Jesus was speaking about people who aren't thinking correctly.. I believe He was speaking about people who intentionally and repeatedly reject the Holy Spirit throughout the course of their lives.

So don't fear, just express your struggles to God in prayer, and claim the promises His word has to offer you. Trust in Jesus, and His loving acceptance of you. Yes, God will forgive you. Most of all, He wants us to trust in Him and enter His rest.

J3nny7,
I'll be praying for you to have peace of mind and spirit.
Jesus loves you and forgives you always. He holds you close at the center of His Heart and He will not let compulsive words keep you from Him. He will heal you in His time and in His way. Each day just draw closer to Him basking in His Love. He cares for you just where you are.

Praying for you,
Laridy
