Here's my take on Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.  I do not consider it FINAL impenitence but INITIAL impenitence.  In coming to the Faith and to Baptism, the Holy Spirit leads the soul naturally, through actual graces, to recognize the "motives of credibility" that God has revealed Himself in Christ and in the Church.  That's what these Pharisees were doing, rejecting the notion that all the things they saw Our Lord do and teach backed up His credibility as the Messiah.  Consequently, this rejection of these INITIAL impulses from the Holy Spirit prevent a soul from coming to the faith, into the Church, and to the Sacrament of Baptism.  As the Council of Trent taught, the impulses leading souls into the Church and toward initial justification come from the Holy Spirit.

What if you have a thought against the holy ghost come into your mind and don't say it out loud. Are you then damned forever? That could happen to anyone?

You seem to be having an attack of scruples.
I find spending time reading St Francis DeSales helpful when tempted so.

My sede friend thinks blasphemy against the Holy Ghost could be many serious sins including sơdơmy. He doesn't think ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs can be forgiven. He thinks other weird things too. I remember a satanist sponsoring a blasphemy contest and to have a chance at winning you had to blaspheme against the Holy Ghost. And all these young kids entered the contest and if they ever convert they will wonder if it is possible for their sin to be forgiven and may fall into despair.

Your "sede friend" has gone off the deep end.
