I’m constantly feeling unwanted arousal by my thoughts and it feels more intense than normal arousal. It’s driving me crazy. Any movement down there causes it, any of the thoughts I hate causes it. It’s all day everyday and I cannot focus. It’s super confusing because the physical part obviously has a good feeling but I hate how it is being caused so it’s a very BAD feeling. I’m so scared.
being hyper vigilant of your thoughts and feelings is micromanaging. straining yourself to be whatever anyone expects you to be is bad cuz then you rely on other peoples perception of you as a way to build your "true identity." you build a false identity out of outside perceptions of yourself cuz of the false belief that you dont know yourself as well as another persons surface level judgement. dont let anyone convince you that youre a bad person for feeling violated after having an intrusive thought. the subconscious is a complex thing to deal with and since it's basically you but in a dream state, it's very vulnerable to lies and illusion which creates fear aka groinal responses thank u God bless
@garlicamoeba Thank you, it’s all very confusing. I don’t know what’s real and what isn’t at times. Thanks for the support.
I heavily and unfortunately relate. It sucks cause all it does is worsen and only makes what we don’t want to be true feel more like the truth. It’s confusing and bizarre and annoying, especially when you start to feel a little better.
@Jay222 I’m sorry your going through it as well, it really sucks doesn’t it?😕
@Anonymous It does. I don’t know what to think anymore
@Jay222 Same , I just try my best to do things that make me happy and get my mind of this bs because it’s all I can really do otherwise I’m dwelling, sitting in misery.
I’m not really sure how i feel. I thought i had pocd with groinal responses but I literally can’t get the arousal to go away at all. Like all day I’ve been hyper aware of how my groin feels. It’s also like during all thoughts and conversations. I know I’m worried I’m a monster and it’s making me sick but i also feel like the constant state of arousal is actually NOT POCD related but just. Something else. Can anyone else relate? It’s really hard to not focus on it.
My main compulsion is checking for arousal (like in my head I'd check or imagine seeing another woman naked or kissing them) and eventhough I wouldn't like it and feel nausea or tightness in my chest nearly every time, there are times where I can't physically imagine a person naked in my head and that's what scares me because it feels like what if the thoughts are true and that I'm actually attracted to this person. Plus the groinal responses down there don't help. I'd be sweating and feeling anxious in my chest and sweating yet the groinal response make it feel that everything else is not true. It scares me that the thoughts are becoming true
I’m constantly having groinal response to thoughts and people I don’t want to have them to. Does anybody else hold them in if that makes sense? I find that makes it worse and cause an arousal feeling and I absolutely hate it, don’t know what to do.
