Stop looking for it, accept that it’s there and don’t think about it - don’t ruminate on it - or anything. I had this, but it does go away. Once you accept that hey - that’s a thing apparently. It just disappears. But hyper focusing only makes you feel it more you know? You think you only notice it because it happened then you thought about it, but you thought about it THEN it happened. It’s like saying don’t think of a pink elephant. Stop thinking about pink elephants... we’ll you did and you are so there lolol it gets easier

No need to go to the doctor , let them happen without responding to them!! They can’t harm you and are no objective problem unless you attach some meaning to them. You’ve had muscle spasms before right ? Or pins and needles ? If you don’t obsess over these sensations then why obsess over groinal ones. Groinal sensations are unconscious ones that can be triggered by practically anything , but you should accept that you don’t know what’s causing them to have relief!

I have to say groinal respones are the absolute worst. I get it. But ignoring them and just let it be there is the best advice for sure.

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.

please help every time i get the groinal response i go back to whatever i was looking at, at look at it again then look away. i repeat this over and over until i can successfully do this without getting the groinal response. i’ve also noticed when i get the groinal response i experience a shortness of breath. it makes me feel like i enjoy when i really hate it. i just want to make this go away but i have no idea how to do that. i also procrastinate and can’t do what i want to do until the compulsion i mentioned above is just right.
