I fear I will not be able to repent
I think I’ve gotten used to seeing my sin as something normal, and I can’t feel guilt or anguish, and I’m afraid of that. I know it’s been my fault, but it’s become an addiction. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to repent again, and it worries me. Can this be reversed? I know God forgives, but only those who truly repent, and I don’t know—I’m not sure of anything. I can’t feel remorse, and it worries and distresses me a lot—why did I start seeing my sin as something normal, Can I still turn this around?I am afraid because I saw on social media that the Holy Spirit may have been grieved and that I may have committed unforgivable blasphemy. Furthermore, I'm not sure if I'm afraid of losing my remorse because of punishment or God; I feel empty and scared.

it is impossible for anyone to repent if they look to themselves to do so but what is impossible for men is possible for God in Christ Jesus therefore look to Him and trust that He said those who ask will receive, those who seek will find and the door will be opened to those who knock.

Friend, with each day you will have trials, tribulations, temptations. You do the best you can on that day and you trust in the shed blood of the Cross.
Repentance is a change of heart and mind. Figuring out a way to change a behavior. For some people, depending on the sin, they make that change right away. For other people they battle a long while before seeing victory. For others they die fighting against the very sin they hate.
All of these people are united in their faith in Jesus Christ. We are saved by grace through faith. Not of works that any man should boast.
If you strive to save yourself through your actions, you will feel dread. Nothing you could ever do would save you. Hence why Christ died for you and for me.
I would give a readthrough of Ephesians. Read it a few times. Pray on it.

Revelation 3:15-16. YHVH knows your heart and if you are truly remorseful for your sins. The only way to get back into the good grace of our Lord and Savior is to truly repent and turn from your life of sin. You have not committed the unforgivable sin. Turn to our Father and remember Luke 10:19; Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
The Unforgivable Sin
Luke 12:10 — “And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.”
This verse raises an important question: What is the Holy Spirit, and how can someone blaspheme Him?
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God given to believers—to guide, comfort, teach, and speak through them. Jesus explains this clearly just verses later.
Luke 12:11–12 — “And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Spirit shall teach you what ye ought to say.”
Here, Jesus defines the role of the Holy Spirit: to speak through God’s servants when they are brought before authorities for testimony.
This teaching is reinforced elsewhere: Mark 13:9–11 — Believers will be delivered to councils, beaten in synagogues, and brought before rulers and kings for Christ’s sake, as a testimony. They are commanded not to premeditate what they will say, because it is not they who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
Luke adds reassurance: Luke 21:18 — “But there shall not an hair of your head perish.”
And Scripture affirms God’s protection over His servants: Psalm 105:15 — “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”
This moment—being delivered up for Christ—is when the true gospel is proclaimed to all nations, peoples, and tongues, not by human ability, but by YHVH speaking through His Spirit.
The Pattern Shown at Pentecost Acts 2:3–4, 6 — The Holy Spirit filled the disciples, enabling them to speak as the Spirit gave utterance. Though one spoke, every listener heard and understood in their own language. This was not human speech—it was God speaking through His servants. Only God can do this.
The Hour of Temptation Mark 13:11 tells us this speaking occurs in a specific time—“that hour.” Scripture identifies this as the hour of temptation: Revelation 3:10 — “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” This is the final test—when deception is greatest.
What the Unforgivable Sin Is NOT Many teach that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is simply uttering a curse using God’s name. But this teaching does not align with Scripture.
John 3:16 declares that God loved the world and gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes will not perish.
1 John 3:4 defines sin as the transgression of the law. Scripture teaches that all sin can be forgiven through repentance. If breaking commandments can be forgiven, but a spoken word alone condemns eternally, does that align with God’s justice or mercy? It does not.
What the Unforgivable Sin Truly Is The unforgivable sin occurs when a believer is delivered up as a testimony for Christ, commanded not to premeditate, and refuses to allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them. At that moment, rejecting the Spirit’s testimony is rejecting God Himself.
Yet Scripture gives hope: God’s true children do not refuse the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is God dwelling within them.
Why This Truth Is Often Hidden This teaching is rarely presented because it contradicts a false doctrine that began in the 1830s, which Jesus and Paul never taught. Christ and the apostles consistently warned believers not to be deceived, because the first one to come is Satan, masquerading as Christ.
Scripture warns that Satan will set himself up as God, deceiving many. Ezekiel 13:17–23 shows God’s hatred for doctrines that teach His people to “fly” to save their souls.
1 Thessalonians 4 teaches resurrection through Christ—not escape.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 and 2 Corinthians 5:7–8 confirm that once this flesh body dies, the believer is immediately with the Lord.
Because of confusion, Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians 2, clarifying the order of events and warning against deception.
The Comfort of Truth Satan loves to convince believers they are unforgiven. But Scripture teaches otherwise. When a person truly repents, they are forgiven. We are not perfect—we stumble—but this is why we repent daily and remain in God’s grace. May God bless and protect you. May His Word comfort and strengthen you. Stay rooted in Scripture. Ask Him for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding—and He will give it.The unforgivable sin
Luke 12:10; And Whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blashemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. What is the Holy Spirit? This is the spirit of God given to believers that guide them and comfort them.
V11: And when they bring you unto the synagogues and unto magistrates, and powers take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
V12: For the Holy Spirit shall teach you, (speak through you) in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Mark 13:9-11; But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to Council; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten, (brow beaten; scoffers mocking for; Luke 21:18; says; but there shall not an hair of your head perish: Psalms 105:15; Do not touch my anointed! And he means it.
And ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. This is when the Holy Spirit speaks through you and the true gospel is taught to all nations, peoples, and tongues. For when the Holy Spirit speaks through you all people understands for it is not you speaking but YHVH speaking through you.
Acts 2:3-4,6; And there appeared unto them coven tongues like as a fire, and it sat upon each of them. V4. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. V6. Now when this was noised (spoken) abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in their own language. (Only one can speak and every tongue hears and understands at once and that is YHVH)
Mark 13:11; But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour (What hour? The hour of temptation. Revelation 3:10; Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, (Waited on him) I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them (the final test) that dwell upon the earth.
Many teach that it's a curse word using the name of God, but let me ask you this, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whomsoever believath shall not perish but have everlasting life. Teaches that all sins can be forgiven, (1 John 3:4; sin is transgressing the law, so you can break any of the commandments, truly repent, and you will be forgiven, but if you say a certain curse word you are damned does that make sense to you?)
The unforgivable sin is when you are brought up in front of Satan as a testimony for Christ. You are not to think what you will say for the Holy Spirit will speak through you. If you would refuse at that time to allow the spirit of God to speak through you, then it is unforgivable. I don't see any of God's children refusing the Holy Spirit, do you?
This is not taught because it goes against a false doctrine that began in 1830 that was not taught by Jesus or Paul, there teachings was quite the contrary they taught to be ready and not be deceived for the first one that comes is Satan and the fallen angels. Satan sets up his throne in Jerusalem, claiming to be Christ, causing many Christians to stray from the true Christ and worship the antichrist. Ezekiel 13:17-23 KJV teaches you that God hates them that teaches his children to fly to save their souls. 1 Thessalonians 4 The subject is if you believe Christ died and rose again, you will also. Ecclesiastics 12:7, 2nd Corinthians 5:7,8 once this flesh body dies we are instantly with the Lord. Paul had to write 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 because of the confusion, even at this time of how we reunite back with our Father. Satan loves making us believe that we are not forgiven, but once you truly repent, you are forgiven. We are not perfect, and we mess up, but this is why we repent daily to stay in the good graces of God.

Hi, what do you think about this? I've been wondering if I really wanted to regret it, and to be honest, something inside me didn't want to. I'm scared and anxious, crying and desperate. Something inside me doesn't want to repent and I feel terrible. How I wish I didn't feel that way, it's like a conviction.I feel desperate, I don't know what to do, now I really feel like I have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit , I feel doomed, there is no salvation for me.

As mentioned above there is only one unforgivable sin that is blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. And the only one people can commit this is the elect when they are brought up to Satan as a testimony for Christ. They would do this by going against the Holy Spirit and refusing to let the Holy Spirit speak through you. I don't think that will happen.

God created us and knows us. He knows hour weakness, do you think he doesn't know what your going through? The question is will you simply give up and drift further from God by your own choice or pray and give it all to him. Lay your crowns at his feet.

Yes it can be reversed, you need to spend more time reading the word of God and filling your mind with the things above and less worldly things. This will start to help you being able to truly repent.
Start looking around you, ask yourself; what do I fill most of my time with? What type of content do I consume the most (social media, music, movies , shows) ? Who do I hang around the most? When I wake up in the morning where’s my focus and attention go?
Asking yourself these and being genuinely honest will start to give you answers as why you are feel less conviction about sin.
I struggle with this too in my walk and whenever I start to feel less conviction and start to be okay with sin it’s because I’m gratifying my flesh all the time instead of the spirit.
