I know it could feel like your life is ruined, but no it’s not, you’ll get over this my friend. It’s unbelievable in moment how it would be possible but it is. First of all, you haven’t slept, so your anxiety feels worse then and you don’t think clear. Are you talking to some therapist? Otherwise call some hotline, it really helps. And don’t feel ashamed! You’re not that horrible person you think you are ?⭐️

You are not a bad person, and youre never going to act on these thoughts. Sounds like you should try some ERP

I totally understand. I woke up this morning feeling anxious cause I had one to a dream. It’s so scary. You have to just really focus on understanding that this is the nature of the beast. It’s as common a symptom of OCD as any, I know how painful it is because it feels like it’s attacking the most joyous and personal part of yourself, your sexuality. I feel hijacked, or like this thing has been inside me this whole time. Also, people who don’t have OCD can experience this too. That’s also crucial to remember. Because the brain/body responds to ANYTHING sexual. Even the worst stuff

I cannot tell whether I have POCD
I have been suffering this for about 3 weeks now and its absolutely unbearable, I want to state more explicit details about this but I dont want to distress others, all I can say is I am experiencing this weird feeling in my groin and an urge to masturbate and its horrifying me. I already am diagnosed with anxiety but it pales in comparison with what is happening with me. I had no interest in children at all before this but now I am experiencing doubt and uncertainty. I have already cried 5 times today, this is the most awful thing I have ever experienced. I am only 20 years old and its both physically, and emotionally destroying me

I’m sick and tired of this .
I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life

False arousal and uncertainty
Just gonna vent, this never happened to me before during my 20 years alive. Whether it is POCD or not, I have truly lost my sense of self and my innocence. Why of all things did this have to happen. Ive been experiencing more strong groinal responses and mixed feelings of arousal regarding specific thoughts. Its so odd, cause last month none of this happened, it was mainly just anxiety and mental breakdowns. Never did I think I would experience physical sensations as well. Acting on compulsions as well left me feeling absolute confusion, Ive stopped doing that but now I get the urge here and there, and Ive learned to sit with the discomfort. All this leaves me with more questions on whether I will truly get through this or not, or if people will understand my situation. On certain days I feel fine, on other days its sheer terror. I blame myself mainly for this all, It is scary as these images, causing both arousal and terror, only result in me feeling like a shell of my former self
