I feel like I’m going crazy because of obsessive and blasphemous thoughts. Help please!translated

Reader question:

She confessed blasphemous thoughts, then began to think about it and utter insulting words about people and saints in her head. Even during prayer, such thoughts come: about curses, about giving the soul to the devil and glorifying him.

After confession and before communion, I manage to work myself up and again allow such thoughts, I confessed this several times. I can't sleep because of these thoughts. I understand that the problem is mental, because I already had such stress and problems with sleep because of this.

I can’t cope, I’m afraid that the Lord will punish me for these thoughts. I allow them myself, first the thought arises that you need to think something bad, and then an insult or other blasphemous thought follows.

Help please! I feel like I'm going crazy. It is no longer healthy to keep fasts before communion and not sleep, thinking about everything. Obsessive thoughts are not only religious, but they are the most frightening.

The fear that you are going crazy seems to torment you almost more than the thoughts themselves. But what you described is more reminiscent of a severe obsessive state. You experience these thoughts as alien and frightening, see their connection with sleep and remember what it is...
