• 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.

Read these two verses:
Romans 10:9-11
1 Corinthians 12:3
You confess Jesus as Lord, which means you believe that He is God and rose from the dead. This also means that you have The Holy Spirit, because without Him you can't confess Jesus as Lord. Which means that you have eternal life. Which means you haven't committed the unforgivable sin, for he/she in whom The Holy Spirit dwells, is in Christ and therefore has their sins forgiven. God bless .

Hi @Iaras. I haven’t been on here in awhile. It’s been about a year since the scrupulosity got me into this fear. I will say that the fear has calmed a lot but it still comes and goes. I am getting married in less than a week so I might be delayed in responding but I want to ask how you are doing? How long has this fear been occurring for you?

I do had many sleepless nights and completely lost my appetite. I want to give you the formula for what has helped me, and I pray that you try it.

1. Get off all forums for awhile, and please hold yourself back from reading online articles as well. If I don’t hear back from you because you are taking this advice, I will be happy! The reason for this is there are just tooooo many opinions flying around out there, and we need to trust in the Bible, and seek God’s glory, not other’s approvals.
2. Read your Bible daily. This was hard for me at first when I was in immense fear but once I got in the habit of doing this again, I felt God speaking to me constantly.
3. Pray, pray constantly. Don’t pray just to check it off the list, but pray because you want to be with our Lord, and listen to him. Pray on your knees when you can as well. Pray for 5-15 minutes at a time, longer if God allows. Pray for him to reveal your heart to you, for your intentions to be to only please and honor him, and ask him for you to walk in the Spirit. Pray for other things, but pray for these specifically.
4. Walk in the Spirit—you need to be in tune with what the Father’s will is to be able to do this, and just let the Spirit guide you. Love others, pray for miracles, be joyful, speak boldly in the Spirit, and bear fruit so that others may come to Christ as well.

If you are focused on these, specifically walking in the Spirit, before you know it you won’t be concerned about the unpardonable sin, because you will be focused on God’s will for you.

I pray this helps. God Bless You!

How are you doing now, Iaras? Have you gotten any help for your OCD/scrupulosity?
