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 Caty,
You wrote: "I wasnt really thinking about anything but trying not to say it and then I made the dumb decision to just say it." (end quote).
So you in no way did what the Pharisees did! They lied about what they knew was the Holy Spirit to save their HUGE incomes. Do you have a HUGE income that you can save by deliberately lying to a bunch of people like the Pharisees did?
God knows you were just "fooling around" by taking what you thought was a "big risk." It was just a game with you, like walking along a railroad track when you see a train coming in the distance and seeing how close you can let it come before you jump out of the way. I think you were just "daring" the Lord to make you unforgivable. I know He just saw it for what it was: just a little "thrill game." Unfortunately you've decided to use your "thrill game" to keep on punishing yourself..
God is not upset in the least over your little "mind game." He's WAY bigger and more mature than that! He's just sorry you're making yourself so miserable. But He'll wait pariently until you feel that you've punished yourself enough.
Best Blessings,
"Arph"

but even though I bascially did the same thing, God can forgive me?
I wasnt really thinking about anything but trying not to say it and then I made the dumb decision to just say it.
but see whtas werid is i was thinking about if i did that then it would be bad, but then for soem reason i knowingly did, i wasnt mad, it was to hurt God or anything I just did it. I wasnt trying to say that about the Spirit (like I wasnt trying to be venge full or mean) but I did it on purpose and I dont know why, but it wasnt an ocd thougt. I keep having these thoughts, a lot today. It's like I dont want to say bad thign and i fear doing it, so i hope its just my od cause its really scaring me.
but I know that I've thoughts some of these things (what the pharasies said) about the Holy Spirit on purpose, not sure why butI know I have. How can that be forgiven?
