Thank you all! Really helps. It's the next day and I already feel better after good night of sleep! Acceptance of the insecurity is key. ❤

Try to remind yourself that it was involuntary, you cant control it. Try saying to yourself "brain idk why you did that but whatever " and try to move on ? intrusive thoughts and images have no limits

That’s not square one. Square one would be you not even knowing either of those terms and being confused and unsure of what’s going on and trying to read through tons of articles online to figure out how to even describe what happened and if you have an issue. My point: your not at the beginning. You’re just in the middle somewhere. But you’ve got this. Know what’s going on and what to do about it.

?above comments are really helpful, you aren't back to square one just because you experienced this?recently I've picked up on that literally anything that goes on in my body, on the inside, I can't control. any feelings, any thoughts, any responses, none of it is controlled by me so I might as well just let it happen. My inside body genuinely just does whatever it does. i have groinal response right 7now... no clue why but its not something I have control over, but Its okay. Anxiety inducing.... I KNOW....but its true, I have zero control over any of those things, I only have control over how I react to them - you HAVE got this, no matter where you're at in recovery/journey

Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?

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.
