Need prayers badly. I keep having problems with repetitive blasphemous thoughts and they are getting sneakier and will add themselves into my normal thinking or if something nerves me I start having attacks. For example, I will be thinking of a person and I will imagine them saying "___ damn" or something horrible. Please pray for me to have a tender conscious. Sometimes I can't even tell if I consent to things or not and I don't want to start despairing.

Is this OP?  This is a perfect example about how your scrupulosity causes you to obsess over these thoughts.  In rehashing them you are re-subjecting yourself to the temptation.  It’s actually your scrupulosity causing the thoughts to become more persistent.  Most of the stuff you mention are not even worthy matter for confession much less grave sin.  People asking why some spend fifteen minutes in the confessional can see the answer right here.

Scrupulosity is rooted in pride.

Your priest needs to order you to stop confessing anything that you could not swear before God to be a mortal sin, and you need to humbly submit.
