My brotbers and sisters in Christ, i come to you because it seems my brain has become as useful as a bucket without a bottom that has thorns on the handle.

So, I struggle with an impure mind, mostly because (I would be a baldfaced liar if I said otherwise) I dwelt in the filth of the sin of pornography and its associated personal sin of lust for many years, despite me just turning 20. Ive recently made a big turn towards the faith and repented of committing these sins, however, the effects they have left behind just seem to severe for them to be temporal punishment, because I seem to suffer from an OCD symptomatic case of intrusive thoughts (note: I was never officially diagnosed), and in today’s society, temptation is everywhere (what a revelation, right?). I can repent of my physical sins, but sins of thought still plague me greatly, and living in the society we do, I know i can’t be the only one who suffers from this situation, so does anyone have any suggestions for how to overcome or at least deal with this without it becoming sin?
 
As soon as you become aware of your thoughts, turn to Our Holy Mother for assistance by praying a Hail Mary. The more you do this it’ll become a habit. She will guide you through this.
 
Please talk to a doctor about your intrusive thoughts, as soon as you can. I’d also recommend taking to your Priest and asking him to guide you.
