Groinal

ocd is basically like a bully. it knows that u are afraid of something, so it will do things like this on purpose. also, groinal responses dont mean anything. they can usually happen due to anxiety.

I mentioned this on another thread but.. DO NOT believe everything you think.. and feel.... Do you find yourself worrying about the content of your thoughts (“why am I thinking that terrible thing!?”)? or even everything your body feels? Does your OCD ever try to convince you that because you had aggressive thoughts, you might actually be an aggressive person? If so, you probably have a high level of the belief that thoughts are important. But the truth is that not all thoughts/feelings are created equal! The fleeting thought about rear-ending the car that just pulled out in front of you or about taking off your shirt at church do not deserve the same attention as our other thoughts. Or having a groinal response to something seemingly unimportant... But OCD would like you to believe that there’s a terrible reason for each and every one of your most disliked thoughts/feelings. Instead of treating all thoughts as significant information about yourself or the world, you can adopt more balanced thoughts, such as: • OCD gives me a lot of spam/trash thoughts. • Thinking something doesn’t make it more likely to be true. • My morality is not tied to my thoughts. • What are some others that could be helpful for you?

Again, our bodies are weird and OCD will make us think we feel or focus on things that may are happening with our bodies that have nothing to do with the thought but it finds a way to link them together. We learn to fight back and ignore these responses with time. Have you been getting therapy for OCD?
