Anyone has experienced being hyperaware of their private parts? Like i don’t have any intrusive thoughts but when i become aware of my private parts i start feeling weird and guilty and then the thoughts begin and i start to panic and feeling overwhelmed cause i get intrusive thoughts on my sexual abuse from when i was a teenager
Yes it is very common. Even for me I feel like I have a physical manifestation of anxiety in those areas sometimes. That could be considered a ground response, but even just being anxious can cause an increase in blood flow
@Anonymous i get this weird sensation down there that makes me feel super anxious and uncomfortable and then i became hyper aware and get intrusive thoughts and feelings, i just want it to go away
@malolin_21 yes i understand. what i do is i say to myself, “i recognize that i am feeling a sensation and I am not afraid of it. It could mean something, it also could mean nothing.” and then i try my best to move on
@Anonymous thank you for the advice, i feel less alone in this
Yes, many times when I type messages on my phone I get that thought
Yes I do from PTSD
@Nica I’ve been recently diagnosed and my therapist says that i may have some issues with PTSD and my OCD but i really feel like a horrible person and i also get the feeling like i’m always having a weird sensation down there that makes me feel scared and guilty and super anxious cause it triggers my intrusive thoughts and i’m not comfortable, i feel like a sexual predator :((

@Pepsicola I tend to avoid intimacy cause i start having this weird awful feeling of doing something bad or this intrusive thoughts constantly asking if i want or if i’m pretending
this might be pocd but this is confusing a little bit because u don’t explain exactly what ur talking about. i would talk to a doctor about this, it’s completely normal and you are not alone
@kyky4909 i’ve experienced pocd but i think this is a little different cause i get this weird sensation in my private parts and then i start to have intrusive thoughts about sexual stuff, sometimes is about my family or about my sexual abuse (i have this intrusive thought about me enjoying it or wanting to do that to someone else) but i know i don’t want to and that’s not me cause it really causes me anxiety and an uncomfortable feeling
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?
I feel so ridiculous saying this. Has anyone struggled with looking down a people’s private areas since having ocd. I hate it, but feel I have to look or find myself just looking. I feel so guilty after and especially when it’s a women I kinda shudder after like why did I just do that. Ugh I hate this. I never used to have this issue but now I’m focusing on it my anxiety is going crazy with it . If people have experienced, how did you get over this??? My sexual orientation is thriving off this . I hate it
I don't know how to describe it, but when i walk down the street it's like I'm always very aware of whether people are looking at me or something, and i can feel some concern if some older men slightly look at me, if they are stalkers or they are watching me because of my butt, or other parts, and i tend to squeeze it or hide it, i get uncomfortable and want to leave quickly. This also makes me question whether i actually experienced something that i'm not remembering or that i have blocked, because i think my reactions and my fears are somewhat more strong and weird. It's weird, i used to objectify myself to get attention and that's where most of the bad actions i did come from, but now it's like i feel hypervigilant, besides being afraid of being terrible myself, i also worry about other people being like that. It's also like i want to have nothing sexual, to have an operation to remove my parts or something like that
