Good job. I’m a Cbt therapist and one of my victims has the same thing and he is really happy about what you said. this is a motivation for him

It started in may because of the isolation during quarantine, the I was almost completely recovered by November and then I had a relapse 😣

I'm a gay man and I believe I have this. This exact thing has messed up my psyche for too long, and I always teach myself the "maybe i am, maybe i'm not" trick which either works for a few days or my brain then goes to "well what if you just stay complacent and find something you don't want about yourself?" I really don't care for women in that way but my brain makes me doubt myself and I just want my life back.

Update been working very hard on this, you need to let yourself know that this is just apart of your mental health. It’s just apart of your anxiety. It’s an obsession and you need to get rid of the list of why you’re not, get rid of reassuring yourself and let the thoughts be there. Trust me they legit mean nothing.

[peeps]

I really needed this. Thank you so much.

[christinajose]

It's been haunting me about 7 months 😭....strted on April nd not recoved till now 😤

What about fear of entering into a romantic relationship because you’re not sure?

What other quick tips would you like to hear that are under a minute?

Maybe or maybe not Freaks me out so bad. I know that I’m straight but I’m also open more than some 100% people and think shit can happen. I’ve found my dream man and husband. But I can’t say I’d never have a same sex experience. I know I’d never date a girl but this drives me up the wall. Constantly trying to figure it out. It’s been years

I've been fighting this for 3 years. I even starting looking at others weird unintentionally and my body twitches due to intense stress and anxiety.

I'm functional and it really stops when I'm calm and not thinking about it( doing what I want to( I was straight before this and always have been straight/hetero)

I want this time be over so I can enjoy who I am again. This is depressing.

Thanks for your videos, you've helped me so much. One question: Is it okay if I do fast breathing while exposing ? Or can this become a compulsion too? I feel like doing nothing, like staying still but while fast breathing helps me calm down very quick, I apply everything you and my therapist says but on top of that I breath kinda fast at the same time. Is this wrong to do? I feel like so much energy wants to come out when an intrusive thought comes and I don't know what else to do with it

Nice video! Have a great day God bless

I started getting hocd thoughts in mid 2021 . For 1 and half year, I was unaware about hocd. When I came to know about it, i relived. And since February, I am trying to control it. I wish I could I have learn earlier. Now I am trying to overcome it. And I hope I will recover one day.

[heromanageryt]

After doing this I am getting less thoughts now but will I be fully cured? And agreeing_*yes I am gay*_ is making me feel a little bit uncomfortable but I guess I will be fine. Thanku

[linaxx]

I’m lasbian and really really struggling :(

[EmsDyingRock]

I’ve had it for a few yrs about being straight

[funnydude-]

Hey Nathan! I got a question: can you have so-ocd if you never had or were diagnosed with ocd itself?

[wolvesgirl]

I know I'm gay, but sometimes my brain tries to tell me I'm something else. It's so blah.
