Literally speechless, everything in here I can understand. Been dealing it with 4 years. There are ups and downs but I know ill overcome this and be myself in the end.

I can’t express how much respect and balls this man has to share his story. I have NEVER heard of this until today and let me tell you. I’m deep diving and my mind is fcking blown. I just want to hug you and tell you I see what you’ve been through and give you respect.

Thank you

guys i was like that for 2 years at least. (it has been a decade since then. i cant be sure if it was 2 years or more). The hardest years of my life. i wanted to put an end to my life. The worst period of my life. I think that i can say that i am fine now. I've moved on to a level i can have a laugh with it. I swear it will be ok. Just keep in touch with ur phychiatrist. I didnt use medicines and i overcame it. you will be fine i swear. I remember while i was trying to recover, i was shaking my head every time these thoughts came to my mind, because i was trying avoid any discussion with the compulsion and i wanted to make the thought go away. Anyway, you will be fine. This videos were not excisting when i had my acute HOCD, but i am sure that it would be very helpfull to me at this point of my life. well done mate, great work (from greece).

[@cameronmackenzie704]

Great video. Crazy how I understood everything you said. Wishing you all the best. We’ll get through it with hard work

[@parker.s.9830]

Man! You have no idea how much this video helps me. I've been struggling with ocd most of my life. Your testimony is like a mirror of my experience. Thanks for sharing.

I like that thought experiment of whst you would think if you saw yourself on a tv screen

He is so nervous 😮😮 He may be taking a lot of to handle with this shit of HOCD. I'm still on the way to get under this sickness, but with CBT and therapy and meds I'll be ok, hopefully

How i can talk to you need someone to understand

[@Dub_97]

I get it therapist have certain style of treating patients but when therapist give this secular advice that it’s totally fine if you were gay your life can still be enjoyable you can still have this great life have a good sex life etc etc because there our truly a lot of people who don’t want that change who don’t want to be gay who do my want to be bi But those thoughts and fears of feeling like your getting pulled into living a life you don’t want t live is scary. I’m a Christian believer and what people decide to do with their life it’s their choice but giving the advice to people who literally do NOT want to be anything else but straight and telling them that your life won’t be over if you come to terms that you may have been living a lie and that being gay is totally fine.. yea sure there are many people out there who don’t mind being gay and living that lifestyle but there are also MANY WHO DONT want to live that way at all.

me too it’s horrible

[@Dub_97]

Your sexuality change isn’t something that is just “random” it’s not something where you wake up one day and have this desire to have sex with guy then next day have sex with girls then next day be sexually attractive to trees Your sexuality is very hardwired Dont look stuff up about sexuality your gonna see so much stuff that’s going to just have you going crazy. If sexually changes were just “random” we would all be doomed. It’s not something that just gets stripped away from us randomly. There’s reason behind sexuality changing.. nobody wants to talk about that part. Secular teaching just wants to say that oh now you’re just realizing or discovering new things.. no. That’s wrong. Because I can tell you right now someone with HOCD does NOT want to discover and is not searching or “exploring” but rather dealing with this fear.. when deep down we know who we are we know it but that’s all being clouded by hocd. Trust me you’re not alone.. but don’t believe and buy into everything you read online. Good luck.

@@Dub_97 thanks dude mine was very random I have never had thoughts like these in the past or any desire for men at all I just didn’t at the time of when it happed I was at work doing a 12 hour shift and going through a toxic relationship as well on of the guys there on the night shift said as a joke he can see why gay guys are happy they don’t have women in their life’s booooooom it all started thoughts 💭 saying I am gay over and over to were I was running to the bathroom saying what is going on almost didn’t feel real it was hell on earth now am doing cbt and doing exposures like watching dudes kissing but I just can’t it make me gag but she said I have to sit with the discomfort but I just can’t it just isn’t for me but mean while ocd is like it is it’s such a head fuck just don’t know what to do just want good old go lucky me back and not this shell of what I once was

[@Dub_97]

@@kyletucker4594 that comment your coworker made has simply NOTHING I mean NOTHING to do with you or your sexuality. How does your sexuality have anything to do with a comment someone made a funny comment at that? It’s unnecessary to have to watch videos of guys kiss. It’s pointless because idk about you but I wouldn’t want to watch guys kiss period I wouldn’t want to watch guys do anything sexual I’m good off all of that. Sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself would I really want to watch these videos before the start of your hocd ? Would you enjoy these videos, and I’m not taking about being all discussed just simple not watching to watch it because it’s not your cup of tea if the answer is no.. then no need for you to be exposing yourself to stuff like that it’s pointless. Like I would never ever ever want to go to a gay bar I wouldn’t think twice to go to a bar bar, I have zero business being at a gay bar. And even with my hocd I still wouldn’t go. Because it would make me uncomfortable for the simple fact that .. I’m at a gay club and I know I don’t want to be there.. I’m out place here. I wouldn’t want guys to start staring at me or trying to flirt with me. I’m good off that. Some exposures really be crazy.. but I’m here to say that that comment had. Nothing to do with your sexuality it just send your brain into panic. But you’re going to be okay. Expose yourself to your thoughts When you notice a bird in the sky flying by you see, notice it and let it go by and move on right ? Do the same with your thoughts no matter how terrible they are just think of them as birds just tell yourself oh there’s another dumb though, whatever and continue doing you whatever it is. Don’t spend time and time and time on those thoughts do not give them any more time! You can’t stop whatever thoughts pops in your mind, but you do have control over how you respond to them. The process to recovery is always going to be hard before it gets easier but trust me there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck!
