Another great video, thank you soo much Matt!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
They tend to say ocd people dont act on the thoughts. But with HOCD you can act on them unlike other ocd types. I suffer for so long and i have acted on them a couple times(only porn), but the thing is im not attracted to it. It has manifested as a new compulsion to alleviate the stress. This compulsion is so dangerous that only when im done i realise i did it for the sole purpose of checking on my self. I get so overwhelmingly stressed that i have to do it so i can go on with my life.
You have control of your actions.
Ocd can’t make you do anything.
At the end of the day YOU have a choice.
Im 32 years old with mild autism and i am not gay but i had morally wrong gay stuff happen to me from the age i was a kid. I sometimes get sexual intrusive thoughts that i hate. Please pray for me and please help me - AMEN.
Hi Matt, can you talk about the RJOCD(Retroactive Jealousy OCD) towards partner’s past sexual experiences? I’m suffering from this for years and still seeking a way out( as a man). Thanks.
I had this ocd. Now im 100% free of it.
U wanna know why ?
Jesus Christ. I asked Jesus to take it from me because it harmed me and he freed me 100% from it. If u ask Jesus Christ to free u he will heal u.
First of all hi,my name is Anshaal.l'am a junior in high school..I have been dealing with this since I was in middle school.first of all this is the
Worst thing I have ever had.I always feared being gay.This has made my fear grow more then ever.I have been complimented by people many time by both genders and never found it weird or gay I said thanks.now days after when I started getting Hod when a male compliments me I find it weird and my brain literally triggers it..once there was argument about if there are 2 genders or more in a game.l obviously said there were 2 genders,a guy beside me who I thought was with the people who said there are more genders.i said
"bro there are only 2"
He said "bro your a Chad fr... (Chad means=awesome).I suddenly got heart palpitations and was like confused cause of I thought he was supporting them.after that my brain was like "your gay,you got flustered when he said that your a Chad"I was really in a mental stress.I kept saving that it was a just a reaction which I always get in HOCD but my brain kept saying "No! your gay,why would you get flustered then."it really messed me up I was thinking about it the whole day.I was crying because of this because I don't want to be gay .I have had crush on women my entire life and liked them a lot and I still have a crush on one in my class, this really gave me a lot of stress and torture in my mind.
I kept saying and giving and using logic but my brain denied it with another statement.I really have lost every one of my hope.l don't want to be gay.l hate this so much!.
Reply if you can help.

Hello Anshaal. I have dealt with this for years. For me, I would look at women and whenever I would express having any crush on them, not in a serious way, more of a jokey way, I would spiral. I had to constantly affirm to myself and try to fine ‘proof’ that it became toxic. Now, I still haven’t figured out loads, but I’ve had several flare ups the past few years and can say, when the HOOCD/SOOCD does come to the surface, it feels so real. I saw a video saying most of the time, the thoughts can feel so real, you stop being able to find attraction to anyone for a good amount of time because you are way too overstimulated. You really just have to realise it’s really not that deep. Stop putting so much pressure on
You feeling uncomfortable by it is often proof it is not true. Whilst your mind can’t rationalise the thoughts, your body responds. That worry and discomfort from it is showing you something:your thoughts don’t align with who you are.😊
My thoughts not seem intrusive anymore, they now feel completely intentional, it's like i actually want to have them? How can i tell if it's intrusive?
Well for 1. If these are intrusive thoughts, they would be un wanted, would not find them pleasurable, would cause distress it could even cause anxiety plus more
BUT you can still get these thoughts and be aware that they are not of you and are against what you value.. not everybody gets anxiety but still has these thoughts but the simple fact that you are noticing these thoughts coming and are reacting to them should tell you that they are not if you.. are brain creates all kinds of thoughts also.. thoughts and feelings are not facts.. these thoughts have NOTHING to do with who you are or your sexual identity.
These thoughts sucks, they may be disturbing, may be so far against who you are.. but they do no define you.
The Bible says capture every thought and throw it on the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

Read the Bible especially start with these Books
- Gospel of John
-Romans
-Proverbs
-Ephesians
-Psalms

@@joaobaka8404 Try it out. Go in your close the dor and pray to Jesus. Ask him who he is and if he wants to help u and if he can free u. Then ask him if he can free u. He will free u 100%
Sir I have a question most people who discuss ocd regarding topics on UA-cam say you might visit a therapist and do ERP therapy but if you can't afford it or there are other reasons. In short you can't visit a therapist then what are techniques to overcome ocd especially pure o . Please do reply it means alot. I really wanna live my life but i can't. My studies, social life and life in general is getting affected. I'm trying not to ruminate. Not to think and disregard it. At first it was one thought but since i started disregarding it. My life did get better for a very short period of time and then thoughts began to change i try to disregard one and then the other and they just didn't stop until I got stuck on one and i did stuck on one again. I fear I might do something wrong. Please reply. It's a humble request. May Allah bless you
Try speaking with a OCD coach or to people who have pure o that help, try NOCD if you have insurance they may be able to cover your therapy. but the main thing you need to do is break the cycle of being exposed to something scary and doing compulsions to relieve it, I have been struggling with sexual orientation ocd for a few months and it turned into gender identity OCD and it’s very hard and feels real sometimes, but like he’s saying you need to break the cycle, the ocd loop is caused by compulsions, when you get triggered by a person or thought you start to overthink and try to do compulsions to relieve your anxiety about the scary thoughts, and when your out of the anxiety you feel like you can see who you are more clearly. It takes a lot of time and it’s hard but that’s the unfortunate thing you need to accept about having OCD
@@kaneblair7103 so you are saying that when I come across something that trigger my anxiety try not to do compulsions . Ok hope that might help me . Thank u for replying

@@Manoqueen66666 yes don’t do the compulsion no matter how hard it is but it will be very difficult I still sometimes struggle with it and do compulsions still, you need to really trust in yourself and that these are OCD thoughts and overtime you anxiety will decrease and you feel overall better without using compulsions to make you feel better
