Mom's please answer

Mom's with pocd ... have you ever had a groinal and made a pushing movement "down there" to kinda push away the groinal? My son was sitting on me one day and I was worried over this groinal when he was against my breast area. So I moved him after a while but as I was moving him I was like making that pushing away feeling and then it ended up turning into like a few times of this pulsing feeling I'm so scared it was an "o" or was about to be an "o" Has anyone else experienced this? I feel so alone. I can't get past this.

Omg. I got a Groinal after worrying about trying not to get one so hard. Then got an intrusive thought “just get a feeling”. And I got one. I don’t know if I did it on purpose and that messes me up bad! If I did it on purpose in reaction to an intrusive thought does that mean I acted on it? It’s so hard to know

Did yours just randomly start one day, but you were fine before this all started?

Are you a mom too? I had this since I was a teen but then it went away mostly until I had kids.

I am a mom too and struggle with this theme, I definitely think it’s your ocd trying to scare you into thinking it’s an “o”. Just say “ it’s my ocd, this is false” is what i tell myself usually.

You worry about the "o" thing too? I never had a groinal before that felt like 3 pulsing things like that so it felt so different

@Maeh24 no i only struggle with groinal response all day long from the moment I wake up and the moment I go to sleep, even if i am not with my daughter. It’s horrible cause i hyper focus on it and i feel like it makes it more intense. I think what you had was a groinal response and the best advise I can give is to not label it or identify what it means and just let it be there.

@anonymous3606 Have you ever had it happen when holding their hand and think omg is something wrong with me? I hope it's only because I focus on all feelings. I hope it's not anything to do with something wrong with me

I'm just also worried because like holding my little ones hand I was getting weird feelings. Like butterfly almost feelings or something similar to when you hold a guy's hand for the first time. I hope it's just because I focus on feelings. Has this ever happened to you? I just hope nothing is wrong with me

@Maeh24 We all suffer from different sensations from this horrible thing, but that definitely sounds like ocd tried to convince you that the butterfly feeling was a negative emotion. Try to think of the butterflies of just love for your little one. The deeper we give the sensations meaning the deeper we spiral.

@anonymous3606 Very true. It's just I didn't realize those feelings can be felt towards our kids in a non bad way.

Pocd groinals

A compulsion i do is if i get a groinal or anticipate it i take a step. Adjust my legs and feet to avoid the groinals. I was carrying my daughter and worry about groinals which sucks. I had groinals when I picked her up but discarded it didnt give it attention. Then when i put her down i had intrusive thoughts about groinals worrying if i get it. I took a step to my right and just sat with the groinals and the thoughts. I do t remember if i took a second step or not but ocd hyper-focused in the groinal sensations and i feel guilty its telling me i took tbe step to get groinals and i sat with it to arouse myself but i think i took the step as a compulsion and my ocd hyperfocused on the ocd and was aware of it and just let it be but ocd is saying i acted on the thoughts and aroused myself i know thats not true.

VERY stressed and ruminating. Please comment POCD

Please read and comment kindly. Really looking for support. My child was laying across me and every time I breathed a certain way I was getting a groinal sensation. I kept breathing like that anyways (ugh idk why), and then my mind told me I had hurt them that I might as well do something else because what's more. So idk why or what overcame me other than the thought of doing it and causing another feeling (I literally had to question what to do during this and the only thing I could come up with was to move my elbow towards her groin area) but it came across my mind to elbow my child, and I elbowed their crotch or side area. Which caused another unwanted groinal sensation. Then I began FREAKING smooth out and asked my child to move. Then I've been stressing since. I feel like as a mom I don't deserve to be theirs anymore. Idk what overcame me, and in the moment, it felt like I wanted to move my elbow, but I know that can also be my OCD speaking. Right? I clearly regret it all and hate myself. I would never intentionally hurt my child; I don't know what happened in my head when this happened. I was doing SO well! Is this my POCD that I've been diagnosed with by my OCD specialized therapist? Just a struggling mom who used to be the best of the best. I'm very depressed by this. Idk what to do with myself. I live in regret now, and I just wish it would've never ever happened. I can't stop ruminating and being depressed thinking I don't deserve anything.
