constant groinals and intrusive thoughts. the groinal responses are so bad and strong i feel the urge to m-sturbate to make it go away. the groinals literally don’t go away and get worse unless I do that. I hate my life i feel so gross and i want to not be here anymore
Do you panic when you feel the groinal responses? Start to feel anxiety? If so, that's making it worse. I see groinal responses as no different to a headache when I'm sick. It’s merely a sympton of OCD and not anything sexual. When the feeling comes don't fixate on it, carry on with whatever you're doing and try not to see it for more than what it is.
@Studybug I use to feel anxiety, now I don’t, it’s more of a im scared feeling for a short moment and I hyper fixate on it which makes it worse
@co140 Like a stab of fear in your chest? I used to get that a lot. Break the cycle, try not to fixate on it and instead play some music, watch a show, do something to occupy your attention. I used to get really bad groinal responses but when I stopped fueling them with attention, overtime they lessened.
@Studybug Yes and also in my stomach. I will try occupying myself whenever it happens. It’s hard to break out of it.
Whatever you do, don’t m-sturbate. This will only feed your OCD in the future and you’ll use this against yourself. I think most people who struggle with sexual themes have experienced the groinal response. Mine used to be so bad I couldn’t keep my legs together and I felt so hopeless. I couldn’t stop fixating on my private area and ALWAYS checking. It was so bad I wasn’t even thinking about anything and it was just there. I’m so sorry and I hope you feel better soon
@Buttercupz it’s hard not to because it became a compulsion, a release somehow. i feel like i conditioned my brain to need to do it now. the groinals literally make me want to d!e :(
everytime I see a kid or anything about a kid is mentioned then boom here come groinal responses that feel like genuine arousal and a whole bunch of thoughts telling me im a p. I genuine feel like I am one. I feel like this isn’t ocd. My anxiety has gone down tremendously so it seems as if im only ASHAMED of this. Which p’s can be also. I just want peace. I don’t want to be a p. Even my brain is like “just do it so u can have the label permanently “ like no I don’t want to do that but this all feels so real:( I hate the groinal responses they won’t go away
Nsfw tw// a compulsion I struggle with is m-sturbation. when the groinal responses and thoughts get to bad I do that to gain some sense of relief. but sometimes I end up agreeing with the thoughts or think bad stuff while doing it just to “give in” and also “test myself” and finish so i can find some relief. but IMMEDIATELY afterwards is a sense of shame and regret of wtf did I just do? i guess doing this gives me a sense of control over whatever this is so i try to agree with it but the compulsion is so gross and so is the theme so why would i ever find relief. i honestly believe im a p in denial. my pocd has been acting up non stop for almost 2 and a half months. I feel like im going to cry
